I would not rely on photos exclusively. The job of the person taking the photos is to make your house look as good as possible. For interiors, they like to use a lot of flash lighting to make the house seem "bright" when in actuality it could be quite dark (especially if the walls are painted in a dark color). Wide angle lenses make the rooms seem more spacious. And anything objectionable will not be shown in the exterior photos. We looked at a beautiful house years ago that would have been great except for the huge antenna in the back yard, that was never shown in any of the photos.

It might be a good idea to look at a Google Earth or Google Street View of the house before you send your money off.
