Top 6 Reasons Homes Don't Sell-Reason#6-The Realtor-Real Estate Marketing Technology is moving so quickly that simply putting a sign in the yard, listing it in the MLS and putting an ad in the newspaper will not sell your property. Buyers come from everywhere! They come from different neighborhoods, states and even different countries. Where do they start their search for your home? The Internet of course. Statistics show that an average of 90% of buyers begin their homes search on the Internet, capturing a City Wide, Statewide, National and World Wide viewer is absolutely essintial in most markets (especially in Large Metro-Areas Like Los Angeles).

They should share with you reports that include the following: Showing Reports, Internet Traffic and Feedback on how your home is showing from prospective buyers and other Real Estate Professionals.
- Photos That Sell Your Property- I have written countless blog articles on how important the Photographs that we use to market you homes are. In my opinion, they can "make or break" a listing. Listing with bad or too few photos are quickly eliminated by buyers and their agents.
