I saw a house listed by a non-EWM Realtor for slightly under $2 million with such poor quality photographs that you can&#8217;t tell what room you are in.  If the person had taken the same pictures but turned on the lights and used a flash, I am sure they would have made a much better impression.<\/p>\n<p>Another complaint I have regarding pictures is not using them at all in listings, whether sale or rental.  They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so if a listing doesn&#8217;t have any pictures what is that saying?   I just spent half an hour going through rental listings trying to find ones that met my customer&#8217;s specifications.  In addition to poor or no descriptions, most of them did not have pictures either.  Luckily there were only 6 in the community he was looking in.  One of them had pictures and that is the first one we are going to schedule an appointment for.<\/p>\n<p>Having quality pictures in all of our listings helps save everyone tim<img src=\"http:\/\/blog.ewm.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/230\/files\/2007\/09\/money1.gif\" alt=\"money1.gif\" align=\"right\" border=\"4\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" \/>e and time is money!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a blog she wrote last week, Susie Friedman was ranting about poor quality photographs and I felt her frustration.
