need opinion on advertising use of home photo

CK - it all depends on the particular building and how the image is to be used. The use of images of buildings is a bit more complicated than people pics.

As for people, you couldn't use a pic of Tom Cruise to sell cologne, but you can use a pic of him or any other person for editorial use, unless defamatory.
