First we judge with our eyes. It may not be the most appropriate method however, human beings look first, then reason later.
Photos are really not a "nice to have" option for listings. I have a client who is about ready to make an offer on a condo. They are out of state but we notice one more listing in the same Rockledge, Florida condo complex.
She asks for photos. I have already shown several condo units in a previous trip. My client is a visual person.
Nothing in the MLS except "canned" photos. Actually the photos are not photos but rather "graphic representations" the builder used in their marketing materials. Nothing that connects the prospective buyer to the "THE UNIT."
I call and find it is owned by a real estate agent. When will real estate agents learn that buyers search the Internet? When will real estate agents learn that photos are not "optional?"
I had to make an appointment for this afternoon so I can go take the photos myself. For a price I will sell them to the owner/listing agent!
If you are selling your home, insist your agent take photos. Discuss a virtual tour of your property for the agent's Internet marketing campaign. If your agent will not take more than a photo of the front, find one who will!
