I take my own! Reading other comments here, there is a misunderstanding. It's not the camera, its,the photographer with the proper lens and the hi resolution is also wrong. The photos will usually be taken in RAW by the pro, converted and resized for the client and MLS. It's unfortunate there are so many bad photos of homes on the MLS and all over the internet. A good exterior  shot  should not have the street, the neighbors home and be free of other objects  such as trash cans. 

I have used a professional photographer when a listing has several fabulous features that my photos will not do it justice.  When I photograph my own listings I still try to take as many photos as possible and emphasize the best points of the home.

Richard, I always have a pro do it, no matter what the list price. A $130-$150 investment makes a world of difference as that is what the public looks at first and foremost the majority of the time. My clients value it as well. 

I hire a photographer, who's also my client, (I sold him a house and he's sent me 3 referrals that closed escrow, so heck yes I do). However, if it's under 1500sqft, I shoot those my self. I also shoot all my own video, regardless of size. I've seen some bad i-phone photography on the MLS. I've also seen only 8 photos used, when we can post 25. C'mon folks, they're spending 6%, let's give them some Wow!

For higher priced listings or those with open spaces that I may not be able to capture on my own, I hire a pro. Mine are quite good, but not always good enough.

I am a trained professional architectural photographer so guess who takes care of the photos?

Professional photographer.  There is such a significant difference compared to how I take pictures.

I use a professional photographer on my listing at 150K and above. 

I prefer professional photographs. There is no excuse for poor quality photographs in marketing materials.

In our area, about 1/3 of the listing agents use a professional photographer.  From personal experience, I know it helps my listings get more attention and is very worthwhile.

We do all our marketing including pics and videos.  

I use a professional photographer, always.  I prefer to let the experts do what they do best. 

In most cases, I hire a professional Richard Weeks - however, there are some homes where it is not worth spending money on using professional services!

I use a professional...well worth it.

I use a semi-proffessional, my assistant. I've sent her to photography classes and continue to do so. 

I use a professional photographer of listings over $100,000+. 

I have a great camera and in a pinch I take a few temporary photos however I always hire a professional photographer to take photos for my listings.  Professionals deliver high res for brochures and print and low res for MLS and on line.  The reason is that I am not a master of all trades and would rather hire a professional to do the job which frees me up to market and sell the property.

There can be any combination of the two or either Richard. It's easier to pick up the phone but sometimes I like to capture natural light at various times of the day to portray certain architectural aspects.  

I take my own up to the $1,000,000 mark.  After that the pros are brought in.

We do both, but are using a professional more than we have been.

I have a really nice camera with a wide angle lens. I take my own listing photographs. I don't even think we have a professional listing photography service in my rural area. 

I hire professionals almost every single time unless it's a fixer-upper type that is being marketed as an investment property in which the potential buyer just needs to know the general condition of the property.

If its a big house I would hire a professional but it it's a smaller home or condo I do it myself.  I don't use my iPhone though, I use a good digital camera and make sure the shots look good.  I've seen some crazy one's and have tried to figure out what I'm being shown.  Ah look a toliet - wow....

I have the equipment to take the pictures but it is now policy for all our brokerages listing to use a Real Estate Photographer. 

Richard, 
I take my own and I care how they look.  I purchased a cameral with a great lense, software that allows me to work with the pictures to get a realistic, but desireable presentation.  While I'm not a pro, I prefer my pictures over some "professional" pictures I see.  

I take the photos myself, and tell my clients that if they are unsatisfied with the quality, I will gladly hire a professional.

Richard, I handle all my photos and marketing. My staff  and Agents are very professional too and use their TLC in the Field with the Cameras.

my team members have quality cameras and take their own....

Richard Weeks I have a good Nikon DSLR and take my own photos.

I take them myself ... too costly to hire a pro.

great question; at this time i take all the pictures , when it comes to video if the property is over 250 i use a professional anything under that i take and edit my own video still learning but i have a good time with it. have a great day

I take my own for most listings, though I do use professionals for some higher-end listings.

Door #2 - except for aerial photos which we take ourselves - licensed and insured drone pilots!
