- khazhoux 3y agoThey'll just have to find a way to do that after they've finished taking 10 photos at 320x240 resolution (of which the last four are of the same room).
- mynameisash 3y agoI don't know about lo-res, but the HDR images are always a big tell when I look at postings.
- ant6n 3y agoTell of what?
- ceejayoz 3y agoThat there's a reason they need the HDR to make it look better.
- Auracle 3y agoThe reason is to not have the windows be absolutely blown out. They both look better that way and you can see the view, of the house has one. Of course, there’s tastefully doing it and…not. When I did real estate photography I (almost always) solved that problem by using additional lighting inside to somewhat equalize the interior and exterior brightness. It looks a lot better in the end but it’s also a lot more work and requires more equipment.
- Auracle 3y agoI did real estate photography for a bit. It wasn’t worth it because realtors are terrible penny pinchers. I did quite a few homes directly for sellers because their realtor’s photos were absolutely terrible. It looked like they took 2 minutes to zoom around the house, only putting their arm through doorways, taking everything vertically and tilted. For what it’s worth at least at the time the MLS had a pretty low max resolution.
- massysett 3y agoRedfin does fantastic photos. As a buyer I looked at their listings first because I knew they wouldn’t have a bunch of miserable photos. They also charge lower listing fees.
- mholm 3y agoI probably got a 25% discount on my condo because the realtor had terrible photos. 1. It has an outdoor rooftop patio with a gas fireplace. This was not mentioned anywhere in the listing. 2. They poorly photoshopped furniture into all of the rooms at incorrect sizes. Whoever was doing the photoshopping assumed it was 8 foot ceilings when they were 10. Made everything look cramped and tiny. 3. Misreported the monthly HOA fees by about +30%. 4. It had been on the market for 4 months with almost zero showings, I happened to be touring another unit in the building when I decided on a whim to check out 'the penthouse' with my realtor. Price hadn't dropped at all in that time, even though the market was fairly quick.

- DANmode 3y agoI used to scoff at entrants into the space because I thought something valuable was being disrupted. Then my agent let me get 90% through a sale before - "surprise" - such and such construction is required prior to closing due to recent statute in this town. I had to haggle DOWN to 6% to enjoy effectively no representation or understanding of the market I was selling into. If this industry is disrupted, even if by charlatans, unfortunately it deserves to be - we deserve it - for allowing the status-quo.
- jandrese 3y agoPeople forget just how terrible the Taxi industry was before Uber showed up too. Uber has plenty of problems, but you can be in the Taxi in 5 minutes and there are no surprise fees and you don't need to carry cash and you don't have to sit on hold for 20 minutes waiting for the dispatcher to pick up. The old taxi industry killed itself. Once there was any alternative it was dead.
- quickthrower2 3y agoAlso how bad taxi customers could be. No shows for example. Not having the money. Or abuse (at least Uber has a rating). Uber has robbed us of crazy taxi driver stories though.
