Many buyers say this while looking for homes for sale on my website and there is only 1 (or no) pictures. 
They see this "No Photo Available"screen in the MLS Listing... Fancy Isn't it? ---------->
Why agents do not put photos in the MLS is unbelievable. What the public may not know is this: In our MLS (DC/Maryland/Virginia); the first picture is FREE, $12 for 6 and $20 for 20 pictures.
Twenty Dollars to put in 20 pictures. Agents don't do this why? Even the "Basic" Virtual Tour is included at that price. If I can find 6 good photos for a 450 Square Foot Studio - I am sure they can find some pictures.
Around 50% of Today's Home Buyer uses the Internet to shop for a home. With so many properties on the market why would a Listing Agent choose not to make this small investment?
When Buyers (and Agents) see a property with no pictures, the thought that comes to mind is - what's wrong with that house? Is the place that bad?
The other favorite
e thing that is often seen is the 4 of 6 pictures of the condo's pool, community room, roof deck, front desk. Hmm.. How about pictures of the Bedroom? Kitchen? Living Room?
Sellers need to make sure they know what their Agent plans on doing to market their home. Putting pictures and the simplest Virtual Tour should be the minimum standard. Accepting anything less is simply one of the biggest mistakes a seller could make.
Buyers shop with their eyes first. There are currently 313 1 Bedroom condos for sale in Northwest DC. You cannot look at all of them personally. If you had to sort through them would you want more than one picture?

Oh my gosh, you pay to put pictures on the MLS? We don't, but we still have agents to lazy to put them in. We can down load up to 15 and now its a rule you must put at lest one in. I'm sure glade we don't have to pay. We do have a pretty large fee for the year $360...
