As others suggest, either go pro yourself or hire one. I suggest you do what you do best; sell real estate. Instead, hire vendors that have the expertise to present your product in the best manner. Or hire a photo retoucher to enhance, color-correct and/or otherwise improve the image.

BTW, the "widest aperture" (e.g. f1.4) provides the least depth of field, not the other way around. If you want a large depth of field (foreground and background objects in focus), close down the lens (use higher aperture numbers, e.g. f16).

Letting in light is all and good, but all you need is the correct amount of light to correctly expose the image. You do that with the correct combination of shutter speed and lens aperture - basic photo 101.

Many people think expensive camera gear is the key to good photos. Nope. Equipment is only a part of it.

For many properties, you can get away with basic photo skills, and for many buyers, that's good enough. We've all seen mediocre real estate photos. And let's face it. Not all properties require the Julius Shulman touch. However, if you realize the value in representing the product well and for high end properties, use some of those potential broker fees and hire a pro for needed support.
