[quote=AroundTheBlock][quote=Anonymous]As an agent, I have to agree with the lazy listing agent and also add one more: cheap.

It doesn't cost much to get professional pictures done. I've seen lazy listing agents take [b]cell phone pictures[/b] from their car and you can see part of their face in the rear view mirror. These morons should lose their license for stupidity alone. It really aggravates because it makes the rest of us look bad.

Also, another reason is the house might have a tenant. Many times tenants won't want their "things" to be photographed and put on the internet for the world to see.

Re: FSBO - exactly right. Because owners aren't usually also photographers, and they're going the cheap route in selling their house on all aspects. Most people think they can do it themselves and then they end up with a couple stupid pictures with their dog or cat in them, or their dirty underwear on the floor. Once I saw someone's sex toy in a picture. Hilarious.[/quote]

Have you seen the quality of photos from smartphones these days?  They rival most compact cameras.  I'm a semi-professional photographer and I've taken photos with my iPhone that people are amazed at, when they find out it was via an iPhone their jaws drop.  You can easily take excellent photos with a smartphones these days.

As for your remarks about FSBO: Obviously, you don't like FSBO because you're an agent.  I get it since I'm in the industry.  But, there is nothing wrong with FSBO and I know several people who listed their properties and sold them very well.  It's not hard to buy/sell a property without an agent these days.  I do agree there are plenty of people who don't know how to compose a proper photo, but there are plenty of people who do.[/quote]
