Yes I do Peter Mohylsky, SoWal Is HOME.  In a way it can be like talking someone out of buying. Some agents just don't know when the heck to SHUT UP! The same affect can happen with to many pictures.

Yeah. Just because we can fill all those slots doesn't mean we should. After a dozen or so I think it all becomes a blur so make it the best dozen and leave the rest out. You want to appeal not only to the conscious emotions but the subconscious--too much noise = tune out factor.
Always leave a few pictures out, so if a buyer's interested enough, they contact you and ask. Then you can provide them. And know that there is beyond a passing interest.

Absolutely! There comes a point where too many photos' 'unsell' a house. Much like the sales person that talks too muchh, te customer just wants to 'get away from the BS."

I think we have to bear in mind that attention spans are getting shorter and shorter. No need to over-sell it!

Definitely... you can lose patience when the photos go on and on and on. I've seen listings with 100 photos, which really is a bit much.

Set the intrigue to see the house in person, don't overdue it!

Yes.

Yes...in marketing, too much "busy" works against you and even counts as an overkill. Photos should compliment the property descriptions first and then high light the features, uniqueness and stand-outs of the property

Sometimes I've seen where the photo goes every 5 feet in a home. Nice progression but what's left to see? Literally nothing ....

I think there should be a good sampling of each room & that's it. No laundry area where the cameraman can't even fit or photo of the furnace. 

Yes; however, I don't know what that number is.

Our location is 8 hours away from say Providence RI. Consider you are a buyer for a farm or waterfront property or Victorian home. Do you want more than one image of each room... or one's fine. Maybe a screen scene and there... if they want more, they will have to run the roads every time a new listing in their category and price range hits the market. Whoa.

The agent who only takes a buyer serious when they darken your real estate agency door will die a dinosaur wearing a rusted corroded blue and white "R" pin.

Our peak time for video show and tell open house online is 10 to 10:30 and the more images, plat maps, floor plans, video, descriptive narrative the better. Never ever had a buyer says too many images or the video is too long. They want more than the yes, no maybe numbers fields on the MLS done and dirty. Provide it and double back to change up the images when seasons change Peter Mohylsky, SoWal Is HOME. !

We spend as much time providing local imagery, videos and the what's it like living here blog posts as the home town native. Z, R and T can not provide that local you are live and local. No longer 9-5 M-F for busy online far away buyers. 

Our MLS allows 30. Sometimes that could be too many

When I see that there are 60, 70 and more that's too many. If 20 to 40 cannot capture the  essence by a professional you need to start interviewing others.

I think a few shots can capture a room sufficiently. Outdoors I like to see  a variety of shots. I'm not a fan of repeating the same shot at a slightly different angle. If you have a 20+ room house then I suppose you could end up with 60+ pictures. On a small home maybe only 10-15 would do it.

Yes, you can only show a bedroom from so many angles.

Up to 35. 

No. Too many -  nobody will look at

When the listing agent begins posting photos of toilets, then he/she has run out of material to addd to the listing

Yes. There are only so many photos you can do of a house. Some are repetitive and you lose the consumer. Also, sometimes you need to show just enough to pique their interest.

I do.  I think that something needs to be left to be discovered with a visit.  And considering the shortened attention span of most people, I don't really see the benefit of loads and loads of pictures. 

Can be almost 100 in my mls. 

I believe in using any many photos that show th  home in a positove light, i dont put pictures just for the sake of putting them

Yes! Too many gets boring.

Yes , I only include photos that have Wow Factor or add value .

In general, YES!  But, it depends on the listing.

I had a listing with 50 photos. Very detailed. I wasn't getting a lot of showings and my broker suggested limiting the photos to no more than 15. All the sudden we were getting showing requests and a few weeks later the property was under contract.

I guess it depends on the size of the homes and the amount of photos. 

Yes. We're now allowed 150 photos. I'll never post anywhere near that amount for any listing.

Yep. 

Leave them wanting more...give'em a reason to call.

I like to see plenty of them.

there have been some listings that are worthy of over 50 photos.... our mls limits it to 30.... our photographer will take 100 photos for us...

Our limit around my area is 32 photos, sometimes those are too many

Yes

Yes.  Too much of anything can have negative consequences. 

Keep them managible. I look at first few and last for yard. I learned whoever uploaded had dups. These are actualy small homes.

We can enter up to 35 photos, and usually try too, unless it is a smaller property.  Don't believe in duplicating photos just to fill up these spots.

Photos are out of control for some agents. Duplicates. Sideways. Upside down. Badly lit. Out of focus.

Our mls allows 40. We put in as many worthwhile photos as we can. Sometimes a small condo is a big challenge.

yes. . .  I think more than ten is over kill on a starter home and 15 for a luxury home . . .. make sure the pictures are quality instead of quantity

Yes, yes and YES. Give them just enough to grab their attention and want to make an appointment - like right now.

Years ago I remember only 5 then it was 10 then 25 now who knows.
