During my morning scan of the hotsheet (new, updated, sold and expired listings) I ran across a couple of disturbing sights.
One home had a ten thousand dollar price drop and the other was expired. Gee I wonder why! It's June! Have these agents had zero time to go and take updated listing photos?
In certain parts of the country long listing times may be less obvious, but in Illinois where cold, icy snow covers the ground for several blustery months, outdated listing photos become obvious when temperatures climb and the trees regain their leaves. Market times are increasing, but our listings do not need to scream it to the internet world!
Sellers beware! Not every listing agent is truly providing top level service! With increased use of the internet, we all know that photos provide the first impression that many buyers will have of a property. Poor, outdated, blurry, non-existent photos often are the reason homes are overlooked.
Ask your agent about the photos they take, preview them, check out your home online, ensure that your home is presented in its best possible internet light!
And agents. . .check your inventory. Do your listing photos shine? Even if the home has been on the market through a season change, a snap of the shutter can ensure that green grasses and blooming plants show off its summer glory.
