With the accessibility and ease of technology, why is it that Realtors still add listings to the MLS without at least 1 photo? I know, it can be requested that we do not add photo's to the MLS but I've NEVER been asked this personally by a client. Is it a case of laziness or forgetfulness? Wouldn't they want to impress their clients by showing all they have done including taking photo's?
Now, what about those of us who do take photo's. Congrats!....but wait, why oh why do some Realtors take the pictures they do? Hey, I'm not a photographer but I always insist on taking clean well lit pictures. Why? So that the 80% plus buyers who begin their home search on-line get the best idea of the home I'm listing. Every time I log in to search for homes, I'll get images that are extremely blurred, taken in the dark, of a corner of a wall, of the cat in the house, half filled by the Realtors finger, multiple shots of exactly the same thing, or yesterday,
one of the blue sky which had a caption saying "beatiful New Mexico skies". LOL, oh my gosh, that was too funny to handle, if your going to take a scenic shot, by all means feel free to do so, but please make it relavent to the home.
Seriously, most the clients I work with will immediately skip a home if there is no photo and that statement in itself should be reason enough to take a reasonably, viewable, relevant photo!
