It's a fact that over 90% of home buyers start their search for a new home by going to the Internet. WOW! 90%. That's HUGE! It made me stop and think what I have incorporated in my business to attract these buyers to me. I started a business evaluation and believe that I have a tremendous supply of technical tools at hand to attract home buyers , , ,and home sellers. BUT, do I make the best use of them? Probably not to the extent I should.
Here's another fact . . . the #1 feature a home buyer wants to see is PICTURES of the a home they are viewing. Virtual tours. Still pictures. Ariel pictures. Pictures, pictures, pictures!
I look at a lot of pictures of homes every day, since I'm a REALTOR. It saves me a lot of time and money to search for homes that customers and clients want or need using the Internet.
Yesterday I was looking at a home online and there was a picture of half an interior door with no floor showing and only a tiny bit of wall on one side of the door. I guess the agent thought it was a very special door when she added it to her picture display. There wasn't even a sub-title to tell me why this door was so important to the home I was viewing. Hmmm. If I shared the picture with you, you'd probably be more interested in reading this article.
I obviously need to continue working on my businees and make sure I have great, high quality pictures to share with buyers and sellers. The reason I didn't share the half door picture, is because it would have embarrassed me to show such a pitiful picture of any home. I think it's best to not post the horrible picture.
Please post the best pictures you can. Don't you honestly believe in doing so . . .you'll draw more GOOD interest to the home? Let me know your thoughts on this matter.
Have a great week!
