1. Use a wide angle lens in smaller spaces such as a bathroom. 2. Take exterior photos at an angle. This shows the home in more depth versus taking a photo straight ahead. 3. Invest in good equipment. A cell phone camera doesn't do the job. Anything 5 megapixels or higher is effective and still affordable. Also, a tripod will work wonders for fixing crooked or blurry pics. 4. Use as much natural light as possible. Flash is a back-up option. 5. Home staging should be done before you take your listing photos. 6. The best angles for photos will usually be from the door or entrance of a room, as it gives you the most complete view. 7. Try to take exterior shots 8. It's ok to use software such as Photoshop to enhance, but not to mislead. For example, do not remove the dead tree from the front yard.

Clean your home from top to bottom. This includes the closets and cabinets. 3. Staging. Having your home staged to look appealing to buyers can make a difference. Staging furniture can make a room look bigger. Staging with flowers can make a room more inviting. There are many things that can be done to help in staging. 4. Declutter.
