Professional Exterior Photos for Rental Listings in St. Louis

Don’t spend money improving a property without updating the photos.

By George Kindler, Owner · Professional Photographer · Updated June 26, 2026

One of the most common mistakes during a rental turnover is improving the property’s appearance while continuing to advertise it with outdated exterior photos. If you’ve invested in exterior cleaning, prospective tenants should see that improvement before they ever schedule a showing.

That’s why qualifying Rental Property Refresh projects include updated exterior photography taken immediately after the cleaning is complete. One visit. One vendor. Photos ready for your next listing.

Why updated photos matter

Rental listings compete online long before prospective tenants arrive at the property. Old photos showing stained sidewalks, dirty siding, algae-covered concrete, or weathered entrances can reduce interest even after those problems have been corrected. Updated exterior photography lets your marketing accurately reflect the property’s current condition.

What's included

Typical photo coverage includes:

  • Three professionally composed front exterior images
  • Three professionally composed rear exterior images (when applicable)

The photos are suitable for:

  • Zillow Rental Manager
  • Apartments.com
  • Property management websites
  • Owner reports
  • Marketing materials

Why this is different

Most photographers don’t clean properties. Most pressure washing companies don’t provide professional marketing photos. We combine both into a single appointment, reducing coordination and helping you market the property as soon as the work is complete.

This photography is offered as part of a qualifying Rental Property Refresh project — it’s not a standalone photography booking. See the full Rental Property Refresh service →

Is this a standalone photography session?

No. Updated exterior photography is included as part of a qualifying Rental Property Refresh project, taken immediately after the cleaning is complete.

Typically three front exterior images and three rear exterior images, when applicable.

Can the photos be used on Zillow or Apartments.com?

Yes. The images are suitable for rental listing platforms, property management websites, owner reports, and marketing materials.

Do I need exterior cleaning first?
