Sounds like you’ve had bad experience with a real estate agent in the past… I’m sorry to hear that. I agree that there is a time and a place to be using cell photos or video, just as there is a time and a place for using a professional photographer. The main point of my post was that it opens up even more possibilities for agents to communicate with clients, especially when it wouldn’t make sense to hire a professional photographer (when an agent sees a good property while on tour, for example). I can tell you that if I told clients about a house I saw, then offered to email them a video of it, they’d prefer even a rough video to no video at all, and the alternative of hiring a photographer to go visit that specific property just doesn’t really make sense to me in that situation.

Great.

Realtors can’t even take acceptable PHOTOS. This should be realtors out of business if they’re using a cell phone to market a property.

God help us all.

Just because you CAN do something does NOT mean you should. This is a perfect example.
