A Picture Of The Garage Door - Are You Kidding Me?

I was doing a search for one of my buyers and I came across a house that met all  my buyer's criteria on paper.  The only problem was the only picture of the property was the garage door and that side of the house.   I could not understand why the listing agent put just a picture of the side of the house with the garage as the main focal point. 

This bothered me.  My buyers we very specific about what wanted and didn't want.  This house seem to fit the bill, but I could not send them the information on the  property because there was no decent pictures of the property. 

Desperate to find the right house for my buyers I took a ride to the subject property. 

I was blown away, this house was more than perfect for my customer.  It was over and above what they wanted and I knew they would be happy when they saw it.  It was one of those rare gems.  Loads of extras and upgrades many homeowners would desire.   

I drove back and my buyers came out that  day and we submitted an offer that day. 

Guess what? - the property that all you could see in the MLS was the garage door, was under contract. 

This  was not doing a good service to the seller.  Yes the MLS states we have to have at least one picture of the subject property but a garage door - are you kidding me. 

We are to give our customers the best service possible and allow them to have as many offers as possible presented to them for them to choose from, so that they can get the best price possible and terms.
