Visual marketing firm VHT recently started a series of blog posts showcasing some very poor MLS photos from around the country for a Wall of Shame, and also features some beautiful photography from their Wall of Fame.

Here’s a sample from the Wall of Shame:

VHTs Wall of Shame sample - sitting at the kitchen table paying bills is way too important a task to stop, get up, and let the agent take a crappy photo of our home without us in it!

PropertyPreviews users can learn a lot from observing these photos and incorporating both what not to do, and what to do when photographing a listing.   If you’re consistently coming up with results like these Wall of Shame candidates, hire a professional!  The cost of the service will be less than the damage to your professionalism.

So far there have been three editions, and here are links to them all:
