He said the photo was just \u201ctaken at an angle.\u201d But some questioned how such an angle could be achieved, given the large size of the water tower directly behind it. The agency has been ordered to remove the photos by the Office of NSW Fair Trading after potential home buyers who saw the property complained that the photos were misleading, according to the Daily Mail\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<p>Omitting a major landmark or significant photoshopping is going too far, says Matt Liss, a Chicago real estate broker at Mark Allen Realty. That said, real estate professionals want to make sure photographs of a home do capture it from the best angles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t want to show that you\u2019re right next door to a gas station,\u201d Liss told realtor.com\u00ae. A photo might stop at the edge of the home in that case.<\/p>\n<p>Realtor.com\u00ae also notes that the absence of photos can help in these cases too. You don\u2019t have to photograph the eyesores of a home. If the traits are significant enough, you could include notes attached to the listings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to make anyone angry for driving out to a\u00a0home without knowing what is around it,\u201d says Dee Evans, a real estate professional at Ebby Halliday REALTORS\u00ae in Dallas. \u201cThat\u2019s setting everybody up for a loss. \u2026 Try to present the house in the best way \u2026 without ever photoshopping anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: \u201cSure, You Can Retouch Your Listing Photos \u2013 But How Much Is Too Much?\u201d realtor.com\u00ae (Feb. 17, 2016) and \u201c\u2018It\u2019s Not Photoshopped, It\u2019s Just the Angle,\u2019\u201d DailyMail.com (Feb. 15, 2016)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Retouching Listing Photos Goes Too Far &nbsp; &nbsp; An Australian real estate agent made headlines after recently posting photos of a home in Sydney under a blue sky backdrop and that was notably missing the giant water tower that hovers over the property.
