Put In Pictures For Those Sandy UT Homes For Sale !
I got an eye opening e-mail yesterday that said " I'm amazed that you don't have any pictures for this Sandy UT Homes for sale".
Frankly, I was too.
This beautiful Sandy UT Foreclosure was listed at over $500,000.
There was over 6500 sq.ft. of finished living space, and real seclusion on almost an acre of well landscaped ground.
But you couldn't tell it from the photos, THERE WERE NONE!
Now before you ask me "why not"? Let me explain that this beautiful home in the heart of Sandy UT, surrounded by horse property and small Ranchettes, is not my listing.
We don't list many houses or Condos.
We're buyers agents. We help those agents that list property on the MLS find Home Buyers. So we know what helps us help you sell your home.
If your Realtor has listed your Salt Lake Home or Condo on the MLS and does not have a good photo tour, then call them and insist that they get one.
Believe me, those Realtors that list homes in the Salt Lake area and fail to provide photos, make it very hard for us to help them get your home sold.
Every day we get 250 to 300 people visiting our web site looking for a home to buy in Salt Lake City Utah.
Initially these buyers are just viewing homes on line;.Selecting homes that look like they are worth taking the time to visit.
On any given day our home buyers can search almost 9,000 homes for sale in Salt Lake City and find thousand that have pictures and descriptions attractive enough to make us want to schedule a visit to evaluate the house or Condo further.
Few without photos get scheduled.
Look at some stats that every Realtor should know & you should know when you ask some one to list your house.
Realtor.Com says that homes listed with multiple photos are viewed 299% more than homes without pictures.
Showcased listings of homes for sale get between 72 and 91% more showings.
Among Internet home buyers, 83% told the National Association of Realtors, (NAR) that additional photos were the #1 most valuable asset to a listing.
So if all this is true, you would think that the Sandy Utah home W/O pictures we are talking about would be an exception. NOT!
I did a quick survey on my own about that. I pulled up all the homes listed In the Salt Lake City area for just one day to see how well agents were marketing their listed Houses and Condos.
Heres what I found.
Total SLC home listings. (one day) 134
Number of homes listed with NO PHOTOS, = 54 (40%).
Homes/Condos listed with 1 PHOTO = 22 (16%).
Over 66 % of the Salt Lake City Homes For Sale listed on The MLS are NOT entered in a way to capture the interest or cause further examination of those homes.
In other words, the Real Estate Agents representing those listings are doing a poor job of providing the best selling tools to their clients.
You can make them stop! And you can increase the chance that Utah home buyers will select your home as one of the houses they want to take the time to see.
Insist that the listing of your Utah home includes at least 6 photos that show the most marketable and attractive features of your home.
To see over 9,000 Utah homes/condos listed for sale in the Salt Lake Valley, stop by SLC Homes for Sale and see what homes are available in your price range, in the community you'd like to live. You'll get photos of ramblers for sale in West Jordan, Horse property in Draper, New Homes or Condos @ Daybreak in South Jordan,or foreclosures in Draper or Herriman. Whatever your housing needs in Salt Lake City you can find them in SLC Real Estate.
