Here is this week’s installment featuring the pathetic photographic skills of my colleagues here in the Northwest.
I wish I could say I had to look hard to find these photos, but unfortunately I don’t. Here are this weeks gems. Notice the nice dark spot on the floor where the built in flash was obstructed by the lens… and of course no tripod!
This home is on the Eastside. The average commission for a home in this area and price range would be about $50,000. I would be embarrassed to put this quality of photos on $200,000 condo, let alone a home with a value approaching one million dollars!
Sellers – Before you list with an agent make sure they can prove to you that they can use a camera with skill or will hire a professional photographer who can. If they can’t do either, then find another agent. Your home deserves it best chance of selling in the market and high quality photos is the way to start!

Hi Tony,
These are bad, but not as bad as some. I always find it amusing when I do a market analysis and look at the photos of some of the homes, kitchens in which you can barely see the cabinets, bathrooms with toilet seats up (those are the best ones!) and rooms with clutter all over. It surprises me that some agents have no idea and it surprises me that some sellers don’t demand better.
