What does your photo look like on MLS by Lauren Selinsky

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with California Coastal Estates DRE 01329427

What does your LISTING PHOTO LOOK LIKE?  Is that the same photo on MLS also in your marketing photos? 

Do you think a photo SELLS a house? 

So many questions when it comes to photos and listings and many think they have the right answer. 

I think this agent had a double when posting this pic.

Well, with that said, check this photo out. 

ARE YOU MARKETING YOU HERE????

I received this notice today in my email to myself so I could follow up on a client that is searching for this home criteria in the LA area. Notice the SOLD announcement? How do you like the photo??

Call me crazy, but this photo is a sh&@?Y! Photo! And the agent should be called out for doing a sh&@?¥!! Job! Before it SOLD!

 

My present Listing, not only did I hire a professional photographer I took  great photos and my client also took great photos. I had photos in various marketing material and sites and believe a good photo of your listing does invite them to come and view the home you are selling. 

Guess this makes me think I should think again!!! 

Stay professional people!

Lauren I have seen some strange MLS pictures in the past, but never one with the property upside down.  If this Realtor pays this little attention to the pictures, I imagine it is the same pattern with everything else.

The RIGHT CHARLOTTE REALTOR!

Lauren - I completely agree!  I don't understand not utilizing professional photography unless one happens to also be a professional photographer!  There is just no comparison and the photos ARE the first impression.  

Love Bob's answer!  LOL

Lauren, the photos we post on our local MLS are perhaps the most important piece of advertising our listing will get.  These are the photos that are syndicated to the various IDX sites and national and the first impression most prospective buyers will get of your listing.

Lauren, I've seen many sideway photos and a lot of just plain crappy cell phone and other photos but this is the first upside down photo.  AND it SOLD. 

Mr. Crappy says ... What's up with that photo?

Lauren, a written rule in my brokerage: All Listing of Residential property will have professional photographs. Regards of the listing price. Great topic for a post.
