Do photos really matter when selling a home? Really do they? This is probably one of the most talked about topic in home selling; Photos. I have to bring it up again as I'm being traumatized again by seeing a lack of photos. I listed a home for sale in a community and the very first day I received an offer on the home, it's a Short Sale too, by the way. I had 17 Photos of this home. While preparing to put together my market analysis to submit to the Seller's Lender, I came across 2 other homes in the same community that each had only 1 photo each and have been on the market since 2010 as a Short Sale. In reading the description on one of them, it appeared to have some nice features and was priced comparable to my Sellers listing yet NO PHOTOS.
Hmmm.... do you have any idea why it's still on the market since 2010?! Plus, they haven't had any price reductions and it's a Short Sale. Come on - what are you doing to these Sellers?! It's criminal!!!! Price reductions on Short Sales is a whole other blog post. Hey Realtor, with no photos on your Listings or even poor photos, if you don't like to take photos, you ought to find another job as you're violating your customer's expectations of you.
