What do you think about this MLS photo?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

I often hear from the public "that there is no dfference from one agent to the other." Many of those consumers only realize there is a difference when things go wrong. Now, if i could reach them before they choose "just anyone". Today as I scrolled the MLS I came across this marketing photo?

 

What do you think? I can hear some of you through the lap top screen. It is outrageous to treat a listing with such disrespect to take picture from your car. AND not just from the car but from your front windshield. Then, do you see the other problem with this photo? Photo courtesy of NNEREN.

 

Many sellers wonder why their home does not sell. Well this is a portion of the reasons why.

 

In the end, it is important that every Buyer or Seller should not just choose any agent, choose the BEST agent for the job. Having an agent that works for you is a must. 

 

My philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other.

Good Morning Scott Godzyk 

Is it summer in New Hampshire? This was actually in MLS? Good grief!!

Doug Dawes - You would make a great detective! You're right. I failed to notice the green grass which would not be happening in NH at this time of the year, unless of course they had a major change to their weather conditions, which is doubtful.

Scott- it's amazing that the seller lets photos like this one pass. Don't they check their MLS. We had a home on the market once and Larry called the agent to have them remove and take another photo of the front of our home. What they uploaded was one taken on a dreary day.

Was this a listing with a discount broker?

I can't believe someone would be so lazy & unprofessional to take photos of a listing this way. I would hope the seller saw the photo & fired their agent.

That photo seems to demonstrate a lack of professional representation.  If they would enter a photo like that in the MLS, it makes one wonder where else they would take shortcuts.

At least it shows the whole house Nina Hollander , so many of just the front door drives me crazy

Very likely lazy is what i think too Merv Edinger & Associates and WHY are the sellers not checking their listings and insisting on good pictures. ??

Yes Eva B. Liland Century 21 Doug Anderson I so agree, just as maddening is only 1 photo

Good point Candice A. Donofrio , a close up of a squashed bug would have been a nice touch though

That is exactly what I think Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD . I am proud of my listings and make sure i get good quailty photos to show the world. It reflects on me as mush as the home and the seller.

I thought that Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP but then again showing the seller during an appointment when it expires would be good too.

I want my sellers to see the MLS listing Kathy Streib and this one must not have looked. You would think a friend or family member would point it out. I splash the mls photos of my listing everywhere
