You are working through the MLS with a buyer client.  It's August 31st.  Hot temps outside.  AC working inside.  All of a sudden--there it is.  That unappreciated home listing.  Sure, you'll be thinking skiing in two or three months, but by the looks of it, they've got more than enough snow just blocks from the real estate office at this old listing!  HOLY COW. Has the listing agent even checked this MLS listing in months? 

A caring listing agent certainly cringes at the sight of such a breach of duty.  Please, colleagues, let's get it right and keep our listing photographs seasonally adjusted.   If it stopped snowing months ago, and your pictures still reflect the winter, please get out and take new photos.  And take good photographs, one that show the true beauty of the home at hand, with the proper lighting and staging.  Otherwise, we should hire it done! 

With over 85% of home searches starting online, let's put our best foot forward to the world-wide web.  Our clients really rely on our performance, as they are selling the largest investment in their lives.

Well, spring is finally coming to Colorado.  Time to get out and shoot some new pics!

Have a great spring.  Best regards, All!
