MLS Photos-Come On People This Isn't Rocket Science!!!
A couple of days ago I talked about the importance of putting the accurate information into the MLS. I am now going to talk about MLS photos! I was going through listings and could not help but laugh at some of the pictures. So instead of ranting about bad MLS photos I am going to give simple and helpful tips to effectively market your listing on the MLS with your photos!
- No toliets!!! Seriously, it goes without saying the house comes with a toliet, and unless there is something exceptional about this toliet I don't think that it's going to be that effective in marketing the home. Just sayin..
- Take multiple high quality pictures...Multiple pictures meaning more then the two identical pictures of the front of the house that you currently have up! Seriously DON'T SKIMP OUT ON THE PICTURES!!! The more pictures you have, the better quality they are, the more likely you are going to actually get calls on the property of agents wanting to show it, or actual buyers wanting to see it!
- Don't take a picture of you with the sign and put it on the MLS.. Your job is the market the house not yourself directly! If you are doing a good job marketing the house you are doing a great job marketing yourself!
- Use High Quality Pictures!!! If it's blurry don't use it! Retake the picture, get it right the first time!
Taking good pictures isn't exactly hard! Always remember your job is to sell the house! That is what the homeowners hired you to do, right? Good quality, and a vairety of pictures is going to help sell the home!
If you decide to do a half-a**ed hearted job on rather putting accurate information into the MLS or a good variety of high quality pictures up, you will have to worry about agents like me who are setting alerts on these poorly marketed listings and paitiently waiting for them to expire so we can call these homeowners up and explain to them why thier home has not sold and offer them a much better solution!
Just do what your client hired you to do and do it right the first time and you will never have anything to worry about!
