Here is an idea that a video man gave me years ago. He was our are representative for video tours on Realtor.com, oh, so long ago! However, it is still a good tip today. When you take photos of that newly listed property, you take interior and exterior shots. How about the street view? Are there sidewalks? Is their a neighborhood playground? Maybe, a picnic area? Walking trail? These photos are ideal for people who may be relocating from out of state and looking for that perfect neighborhood. On most sites, even the mls, you can post ten or more photos. Try making some of them with different views of the neighborhood. It is most helpful to the buyers!
Great idea!!! of course in our MLS if the photo have your sign in them, they would be considered "branding". You have just reminded me of a subject I need to blog about....

I like the idea, even if your moving in state it helps give the person a view of the area becuase it is probably new to them too. Great tip.

Charles,
LOL! Yes, probably they would. However, I have seen Brokers with no listings, advertising mine online and in print! When I called to complain they said, you checked the box allowing other agencies to share your listings:) Unbelievable! I just try, not to think about it. I know we share listings on the idx systems, and they need my permission to go on Realtor.com, but, I didn't realize anyone would push that many steps further, that the mls would allow them to go ahead and advertise my listings. At the very bottom of the ad, this listing is Courtesy of Fran Rokicki Realty,LLC. It even comes up on Google!!
It is a good idea and so simple. I really get irritated at afgents that take one photo... or three photos outside and nothng inside (or vice versa). Beter still agents that take one photo and the outline of their car window is in the photo...
In addition to neighborhood photo(s) I make a list of neighborhood amenities and leave it in the home... school three blocks, bus , corner of 1 nad 3rd... etc.
Great idea, Fran. Our MLS recently added space for more pictures, so this will be a creative way to utilize the additional slots! Thanks!
