As I search through the new listings of the day, it just never ceases to amaze me the number of listings with no pictures, or even worse, pictures of clutter, trash, dark rooms etc.  The goal is obviously to sell the home and it's our job to put our listings in the best light possible.  As more and more home buyers search the internet for their new home, they are overwhelmed with the number of homes in front of them and you need to capture their interest and attention in that short time in which your listing is on their screen.  So why is it that so many realtors out there don't take the time to post some pictures of the home...instead of having "no picture available" and most likely having that potential buyer quickly move on to the next home.  For those potential homesellers out there, make sure that the realtors you interview make your home as appealing as possible to all those buyers out there in cyberspace.....or that buyer might just find something else.

Which one of these would your clients rather go and see?

An inviting picture of the interior? 

 A colorful picture of the exterior? 

                                     .......  Or this? 

Especially when the market slows, we as Realtors, need to do everything possible to work in the best interests of our clients.  It seems like something as simple as taking pictures would be a no brainer, but I still see so many listings with "no picture available"......and then I usually move on.
