A buyer in Seattle told me my property photos looked 'like a bad vacation album' and honestly, they were right.

Actually, that buyer sounds kind of rude. Bad vacation albums are full of happy memories, so maybe your photos just show the place feels like a home, not a cold hotel. Some people really like seeing a property with a bit of personality and life in it. Super polished, empty photos can look fake and make a place seem unwelcoming.

I always thought empty rooms looked better for selling, but what @the_laura said makes sense. My aunt's house sold fast because her photos had her dog in them, and people said it felt cozy. Maybe too clean looks like nobody actually lived there.

Yeah, that "cold hotel" thing is real. I read an article that said a few personal items make a place feel lived in and actually bigger to buyers.
