Because good photos are good data.

At Sitehunt, we know that quality data is the foundation of every successful property listing. But even the best data can be undermined by poor visuals. While our primary focus will always be on the data, we’ve noticed that photographs often serve as the gateway that gets decision-makers to engage in the first place.

Here are three simple tips to enhance your property photographs:

1️⃣ Shoot on a Clear Day

Bright sun makes buildings look tired. Aim for early morning or late afternoon light (the “golden hour”) and avoid harsh midday shadows.

2️⃣ Capture the Whole Site and the Details

Start with wide shots from all angles, then get closer: signage, loading docks, utility hookups, office space, etc. Site selectors want context and specifics.

3️⃣ Ditch the Phone Zoom

Zooming on your phone distorts perspective and blurs the image. Walk closer instead.
