Do Pictures Really Matter When Selling A home?


Does the picture your Realtor takes of a house and subsequent photos of the house make a difference in getting your home sold? This photo is from a listing that did not sell and the seller could not figure why they had no showings.

For the record, there were a total of five photos and this might have been the best one. The reason I say this is becuase when they called me after their house did not sell and their listing agreement was up; they wanted to know why. I had sold two other homes in this neighborhood for more money than they were asking.

So I asked if they had seen the listing online and viewed the photos the Realtor took. They said NO. I always e-mail a copy of the multiple listing sheet and all other advertsing to the seller. I beleive the seller and I are in a partenrship to get their home sold for the most amount of money in the quickest time frame. Why would you not want feedback from each other?

My question is; why is your Realtor not....In this housing market with so many choices available to buyers why not ensure that your home is shown in it's best light? And if you were looking to purchase a home today would you look at this house based on this photo?
