House for rent; evaluate the pics
I'm about to post my house on Craigslist, any comments on the accompanying pics? Too many? Does the backyard look too crappy? I can take another (that one was taken last August when the grass had turned brown) but I'm lazy.
Not pictured: 2nd bathroom, basement. |

Re: House for rent; evaluate the pics
Back yard pic is pretty bad. If you have green grass now take another one. The patchy grass also attracts your eye to the rotting fence.
Does the 2nd to last pic show a diagonal scratch on the ground or is that a weird shadow effect from the blinds? Also, is it bad to have your dog in the pic? Do you want to highlight the fact that a dog lives in the house - this might turn some people off. Otherwise the pictures don't really show much at all. I don't know if it is standard but it is hard to get a feeling for any of the rooms from these pics. Hope these comments help. Steve |

Re: House for rent; evaluate the pics
I'd say definitely dump the last picture because the yard looks like crap. You don't want someone to be turned off right away because of it. Let them come see the place first and be into the actual house before they see a negative like the yard.
I'd also dump the third picture, or take a new one without the dog in it. If people see a dog, that could scare them off right there. |

Re: House for rent; evaluate the pics
I'd dump the picture of your computer. I don't think it adds anything to the impression of the house and seems like something I wouldn't want advertised. I'm probably overreacting, but like I said I don't think you gain anything so might as well ditch it.
I'd also take a new one of the backyard. |
