There is no such thing
as too many photos. Take at least two of
each room. Take one photo from each
diagonal corner so that they can see the room in its entirety.
When taking the photos, be very careful to
take a photo of the room, not the furniture.
This is a common mistake and it drives me nuts when I see people doing
it. You’re advertising the room, not the
furniture. If the furniture comes with
the house, take a separate photo of each furniture piece separate from the room photos.
For example, in a bedroom where the bed dominates the room, take a photo
of the room itself putting the bed off center of the photo so that the
prospective tenant sees the floor or ceiling fan. You may need to put the camera on a tripod and
raise it over your head to do this. If
more photos are required, so be it. It's not like you have to pay to get them developed.
Also, try to take photos
with any window coverings open. This
will allow prospective tenants to see the view outside each window to they can
make a decision if this is acceptable to them before even making an appointment. And if there is a curtain over the bath tub
or shower, open it. That way they can
see inside the wash area and they know you’re not trying to hide anything. While you’re at it, take a photo of inside
the shower or tub to show how clean it is and hopefully they will keep it that
way.
Make sure the photos are
current. Nobody likes to see photos of
something taken years ago. They want to
move in now, not then. If there is still
a tenant living in the home and you absolutely have to use photos taken years
ago, make sure the viewer knows that these are old photos and that new photos
will be taken as soon as the home is ready to show.
