Do you think the quality of agents photos affects viewings?

[Goodluckcharlielover]

Everyone in our area is saying things are very quiet with few to no viewings. Agent says it will pick up but everyone I know who's selling says it's dead in our area. I'm sure it's nothing to do with agents photos and just general state of market in our area, but do you think poor quality photos would put someone off viewing?

Thanks gdm. Good to hear when you're feeling bummed out about it all!

few tips from when we sold our home!! definitely de-clutter and hide as much stuff that isnt 'essential' including kids toys, the ironing board and clear all surfaces in the kitchen. ensure that the bathroom is tidy too.
next step is to take the camera off the estate agent. i know, sounds cruel but honestly, do it yourself and insist. small rooms can be made to look even smaller if the photo is taken from a terrible angle so stand on a chair. this makes the room look bigger/ more like its normal size than from ground level. you could also try loosing over sized furniture in small rooms.
maximize all the assets of your property. people want to see all the daft things like storage space- but that dosnt necessarily mean taking a head-on shot of the hoover in hiding. take angled photographs which show off the space to its best- although saying that, if you have a walk in wardrobe which is a show-piece of its own, people like to be nosy and who wouldn't LOVE a house with a walk-in wardorbe! just ensure its tidy and clean before snapping away!
all in all, take as many photos as the estate agent will allow you. the more someone can see of your house the more likely they are to come and investigate in person!

good luck!

Not got time to read the whole thread but Do took photos and emailed them to estate agent, far better than anything they took.
