real estate: NEW TREND: Ugly Pics DO Sell Houses. - 03/23/10 04:32 PM
Pool smells like a septic tank! Lawn is horrible! Bring all buyers!
Believe it or not, this type of marketing just might be the newest trend in marketing.
I am a member of 5 Realtors boards throughout the Los Angeles area from Lancaster to Hollywood. I listen to about 100-150 pitches at MLS meetings every week where Realtors stand up and describe their listings to other Realtors. "Beautiful"... "Gorgeous"...
