Bad MLS Photography (Part Two)

Are you ready for another  bad MLS photo post?
You know... the kind of photos that DON'T sell a house? Here are three photos that were taken from actual listings... and how they could have been done better.

This photo doesn't show off that this could be a good space... at all. This photo immediately makes the house look like a fixer upper.
Ways the photo could be done better to {hopefully} get more people through the doors:
1. Move the car so you see more of the property.
2. Clean the junk out of the yard... do you really need a table and chairs that have fallen over sitting in the front yard? Or something blocking the front door? Nothing says "welcome!" like that.
3. Have the home owners take 15 minutes to mow their gorgeous green grass!


Just in time for a summer swim...
Nothing says "Buy Me" like turning your pool into a trash and compost bin.

Ways this photo could have been better:
1. Take it from an angle where you only get the yellow part of the house. NO POOL.
2. Move the ladder off the house. You don't want future buyers wondering what you were fixing. (Although chances are there is a lot of work to be done to the house if the backyard looks like this.)


We still see you... 

Ways this photo could be better:
1. Move all the towels and robes out of the photo.
2. Take the photo from inside the shower... if you shoot from an angle there is a better chance you won't be in the photo...
OR 
Kneel on the floor where the photographer is standing. You'll get the same shot if you position yourself correctly.


What are some of the worst MLS photos you've seen?
