I agree 100% Dorie! Also, if you are like us, we are very competitive. That makes it pretty hard for us to see a listing close to home that doesn't have our sign outside when the listing agent has very obviously passed up so many marketeting opportunities on such a "golden egg."

Hi Nathan. I think most sellers do look at marketing, but only AFTER they are under contract. If they are not happy, it seems like they just ride it out until the contract expires if there are fees associated w/breaking the contract. Obviously some sellers just don't look at the marketing, perhaps because they are not tech savvy or just mistakenly believe that all agents are created equal!

Joan, yes! I agree. I think EVERY home and EVERY client deserves great photographs, regardless of the price. Another issue I have seen is 6-8 photos of one room (even the same angle sometimes) and only 20 total pictures up. That always leaves me scratching my head wondering what the rest of the home looks like, are they hiding something, and what was the agent thinking? Yikes!

Thank you Sandy and Norm! This gorgeous home had so many missed opportunities, it just left me with a feeling of sinking disbelief. I suppose the listing agent could have been trying to sell their own home, but if I were selling my own home and put up pictures like that, I would probably fire myself! Haha.

Patricia, thank you profoundly for such a wonderful complement. My husband and I would also be happy to refer others to a REALTOR® like you as well!  

Thank you Roy!  We do have a professional camera for some community photos and photos for marketing but we try to leave the rest to the pros like you!  I always love viewing your photos.
