What were they thinking when they put that home in the MLS? Top 10 FAQ

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

I wonder if some sellers even look at their listing in the MLS. All sellers whose homes are not selling wonder why, but many too late. I get a great deal of these questions from many who find my Active Rain Blog when searching for tips to sell their home or buy a home in the Manchester NH Area.  

 

I have put together a list of some the questions that are asked most often and the answers i most often give.

 

TOP 10 FAQ

 

1. Why are there pictures of homes with snow in June?

 

2. Why are there pictures of homes with lush green lawns in January?

 

3. Why is there only 1 picture in that MLS listing?

 

4. Why do they have a picture of a bedroom as their first picture?

 

5. Why did they not put a description of the home in the comments section?

 

6. Why do they not have the taxes or condo fees listed?

 

7, Why does it not say how I can set up a showing?

 

8. Why do they list the same home under all categories, it is not a single family, a condo, a mobile home and multi family home at the same time?

 

9. Why is the picture sideways in MLS?

 

10.Why does anyone taking listings if they can not submit proper pictures, descriptions and take the time to do it right? Most often asked as the consumer acknowledges all agents are not the same. That a GOOD listing agent can make a difference. That they may have chosen the wrong agent to list their home.

 

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS and the key to having a successful purchase of sale, can increase simply by choosing a better agent. The secret is, that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. I leave you with now infamous philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process.

Good morning Scott. There are many theories that can be put forward, but generally "you can't fix stupid"! Enjoy your day!

Thank you for the comment Wayne Martin , my thought is they are after quantity and not quality.

Some of your questions would trigger the listing as being incomplete and  it would never make it to our MLS...the rest of them ...the answer is SLOPPY !

Why, why, oh why. You do have to wonder Scott what these listing agents are doing, and why they keep doing it!

This is good reading for prospective home sellers. They will be in good hands when they select you as their listing agent.

Scott- to me part of the answer is that they didn't hire the right agent who would have made sure those questions were answered before the listing went live.

What gets me the most is why anyone hires such people to sell their home in the first place Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400

A clear indication that a home has been on the market for awhile, are the pictures in the MLS that are way out of season.

Oh boy, Scott... you have no idea how often I've asked this question followed by "why would the sellers allow this?"
