When I see homes listed in the MLS that have 1 picture or NO pictures, it tells me a lot about the property.

This type of communication also indicates one of the following:

• The listing agent was embarrassed they took the listing 

• Digital cameras are too hard for this person

• They are saving the listing for themselves
  

• The property is so bad it would be like putting lipstick on a pig

• The listing agent has never been to this property

• The property may have just gone on the market and photos will be coming shortly (DOM 3)
  

 If I see that a property has been on the market with sufficient time for the listing agent to provide photos (DOM 70), I throw it into the lipstick pile.

Look, I'll take bad photos over 1 or none. And if your photo skills are just terrible, may I suggest a photography class at the local community college.

I mean how hard is it to snap more than 1 digital photo. Some pictures I've seen look like they never got out of the car.

 

To place a listing in the most effective tool available, without quality pictures, is a waste of time.

I don't have time to waste. So when I get calls by my buyers asking me for pictures of a property that have this one or none scenario, I politely explain that there may be a problem with this property and I'll call the other agent. Buyers don't like the word problem. 

This mysterious practice of photo-sensitivity may work for some. It just doesn't work for me.
