re: Do Realtors blackball houses not listed by Realtors?

You don't need professional photos. You just need photos that don't suck. Some of the mls listings, when I was house shopping, were the worst photos I have ever seen in my life. Some listings would have 3 photos of a fricking shower curtain and 1 photo of a ceiling fan or something. I'd be like "WTF?" and just move on. Find the best camera you have. Get the widest angle, possibly by getting as far back on one side/corner as possible. Get the lighting as good as possible and try to capture a whole side of each room in the home. don't leave the viewer guessing.

If you have a home that isn't brand new, then here's what people assume. No pics of kitchen? Your kitchen probably sucks. No pics of the bathrooms? Then, they're probably jacked up.

Provide measurements of every room in the home. Describe how old your roof and a/c are. Throw the potential buyer a bone. There's lots of houses to sort through and I hated wasting my time on listings just because there wasnt enough info.
