I just read a great blog about using your photo and not the Gray avatar. That set me off on the simple fact that one needs to update not only their profile photos but also their MLS listing photos and information. I get a big kick out of doing an MLS search. Here it is the end of August and there is snow on the ground of listing - and the seller wonders why there property isn't selling - it's your agent they aren't paying attention to your home.
I also love the 10-20 year old profile photos used - people accept your age - you've earned it. After all your still on the right side of the ground. This weekend I was with a buyer from out of town that I had been communicating with via email. When I went to meet her in our lobby the first thing she said was "You look just like your photo". Well I hope so - I update it every 2 years. Does it cost to have this done - yes. But that is just one of the costs of doing business.
Another pet peeve - update your listing information. On a recent MLS search a property came up matching my buyers criteria but I had to ask my self "Why has it been on the market for over a 1000 days"? Could it be the remarks that if this property went under contract and closed by July 30, 2007 the seller would cover the closing costs and a $2,000 bonus to the buyers agent?
Get with it people - check out those photos and remarks and get them updated.
