When someone is comparing a granny flat, cabin, container studio or relocatable office online, photos do a lot of the early selling. The goal is not to make the building look perfect. The goal is to show it clearly, honestly and in a way that helps a buyer understand what they are looking at.

Start with the simple things

• Clean your phone or camera lens before you start.
• Take photos in daylight where possible.
• Tidy the building and remove loose clutter.
• Use landscape/wide photos instead of tight vertical screenshots.
• Stand back far enough to show the whole building.

Photos buyers usually want to see

• Front view
• Side and rear views
• Entry, deck, stairs or ramp if included
• Main room or living area
• Kitchenette, bathroom, furniture or storage if included
• Air conditioning, power points, plumbing or service connection points if relevant
• Any visible defects, damage, wear or areas needing repair

What to avoid

Avoid dark photos, blurry photos, heavy filters, zoomed-in screenshots and photos where the buyer cannot understand the size or layout. A good listing usually needs fewer clear photos rather than lots of confusing ones.
