Did you ever try to match the room sizes in the listing with those in the home. Buyers often do that and come away confused or cynical.
Some agents use the largest wall to wall size and ignore that a closet or stairway or other obstruction takes up a large segment of one wall. Yet they measure as though it isn't there. Others appear to round up an 11'1" room to 12" feet etc. I have never seen a basement height in a listing. Buyers would be very interested to know if it is 6' or 8'. That is a difference between finishable and not.
I judge agents in part by how realistically they portray a home in the written listing. It is quite obvious that many don't have the seller review the content of the listing for accuracy. My job is to help the buyer see the reality of a home. How well will it serve their purpose and what is it worth to them are questions I help them answer. Accurate information is critical. If a home is staged, I help them look past the stage. If it isn't, I help them see what could be.
