I am constantly surfing our Southern NH MLS and always notice listing photos and whether or not there are virtual tours of the homes.  Some of the MLS photos that agents put in are absolutely pitiful.  I don’t understand why no one holds them accountable for those crappy MLS photos… not their manager and not the sellers! I don’t get it!

I’ve seen photos with dirty dishes left on the counters…never mind all sorts of regular day to day clutter on the counters and floors. Or how about the lovely bathroom shot showing nothing but the toilet with the lid up no less! I’m happy the house comes with a toilet but really how about showing more of the bathroom or skipping the hopper shot all together.  One particular MLS listing photo shows a lovely dining room table with all the listing paperwork, file and pens all spread all over the table….only thing missing was a  picture of the sellers signing the paperwork.  I thought maybe it was a temporary MLS photo…you know in the excitement of getting the listing. Nope I was wrong! That picture was still up there 8 weeks later.

What ever happened to the idea of making a good first impression?  Today up to 93% of home buyers search or use the Internet to find a house. First impressions…each time a listing is viewed on line a decision will be made based on that photo. A decision to make an appointment or to inquire about more information, or the decision to by pass the home completely.

Think about this, when was the last time you used the yellow pages to find a business?  How did you buy your last airline ticket?  If your home is on the market you must ask yourself what does your on-line listing photos say about you and your house? What does it say about the professionalism of your agent?

Start 2009 off right …you can’t afford to hire a sloppy lazy agent. This real estate market requires an agent that will think outside the box, one that will highlight your home and position it to be noticed and stand above the crowd.
