Seller relevance: high — preparation mistakes can reduce appeal and price
Overview
Apartment photos are the first thing buyers see on websites and listings.
Mistakes in preparation before the photoshoot can create a negative impression and reduce interest in the property.
In this article, we explain what you definitely should not do before photographing an apartment for sale.
Main Mistakes
- Clutter and mess
- Crowded rooms, personal items, and dirt distract attention and create the impression of neglect
- Poor lighting
- Dark or improperly lit rooms appear smaller and less attractive
- Ignoring details
- Dust, stains, broken furniture or appliances are immediately noticeable
- Over-personalization
- Personal photos, souvenirs, religious or political items can prevent the buyer from imagining themselves in the apartment
- Wrong time for shooting
- A photoshoot on a cloudy day or late in the evening may give the wrong impression
Practical Recommendations

- Use natural light and additional lighting for a warm effect
- Check details and minor defects
