Marketing photos?

Redbedhead

Possibly a silly question but the marketing photos of houses that are used on rightmove etc - are these taken by the estate agent or can you take them and provide them to the estate agent?

They are virtually always taken by the EA but you can give them your own if you want.

I gave an EA a new picture of the front when the sky was bright blue. The original picture was a bit dull.

Prob depends on the agent. Most of ours were the ones the agent took, but as the sun was out, the ones they took of the garden didn't look that great. (sun too bright for camera) So we emailed a couple that we had taken & they used one of them. (we done a lot of work on our garden, & OH took before & after shots, that's why we had recent ones - we don't make a habit of taking random photos of the back garden!!! LOL )

That was what I was thinking - it is sods law that they will come to take pics on a rainy day!

Our agent took ours but I didn't like them once they were on there. I took a better one and they put that on instead. They took our outside picture the day the bins were collected. It didn't look nice.

You can provide your own ones if you think they are better.. I once had an agent where I had to replace most of the agents photos with my own, his were not good.
