You've heard it time and time again: Travelers are more likely to inquire about a property with more photos. However, you may find it difficult to find 16 photos that you would like to display. We have put together some suggestions for adding additional photos.

First off, start with the must-have photos that most travelers are looking for: The view The living area The exterior of your home or building The kitchen The master bedroom Each guest bedroom The pool or hot tub (if you have one)

Pictures of rooms from different angles:
Photos of distinctive views:
Photo of each bedroom	Exterior of home/condo
Beautiful white sand beaches await you!	Heated outdoor pool with waterfall
3 pools great for families	State of the art gym
Indoor pool for year-round fun	Outdoor cafe for easy evening dining

And just because you're struggling to come up with 16 photos, doesn't mean that you should include a photo of every aspect of your home: Don't include a photo of only the toilet. You'd be surprised how many homeowners do!
