This Photo Will Not Sell Your Property (Perspectives on Real Estate and More from a Home Staging Pro)
Sellers often believe that after they sign the listing agreement with an Agent, they just need to sit back 
and wait for the Agent to sell the house. The truth is, selling a house is a team effort and you, the Seller, are a part of the team. After all, no one has as much to lose if the sale of the house is delayed or it doesn’t sell at all.
One very important step Sellers should take is monitoring their listing on the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Take a look at the pictures that your Agent has posted to entice buyers and make them want to see more. When you look at a photo, ask 
yourself, “What feature is this photo highlighting?” “Does this photo show how this room is supposed to be use?” “Would I want to spend any time in this space?” I could go on but you get the idea.
I’ve posted a few pictures here that show exactly what should NEVER show up on the MLS but if you look around, pictures like these really do show up every day. There is no way around 
it; photos are an important part of the process in selling your house. Do your part by removing clutter, cleaning and defining each room. Give the photographer something to work with. Then check the photos to make sure they do not look anything like the ones I’ve posted.
Wishing you a quick sale!
