Dear Real Estate Agents and Sellers:
At this juncture in my life, I find myself in the role of both home buyer and seller. As such, I feel qualified to be judgy when it comes to staging a home for prospective buyers.
The MLS photos play an important role in helping buyers decide if they want to schedule a showing.
Some of you have a hot mess.
I’m here to help.
There is a shelf above the machines. De-clutter it, and PUT THE DETERGENT, BLEACH AND IRON THERE, FFS!
What am I looking at here? A death trap?
It would only take a hot second to move the coolers for the photo.
Save the creative shots for your art school portfolio.
It would be helpful to provide photos of the inside of the house.
ISO 3/2 with hair salon? I’ve got just the place …
Looks great, right? The reality was … different. As it turns out, this was what appeared to be a frat house, complete with 30 or so liquor bottles and unwashed dishes all over these counters.
Consider asking your child to play elsewhere while you take the photo. (“Just for a second, son. Daddy’s busy.”)
It’s a good idea to finish the yard work BEFORE you take the listing photo, especially if this is the only photo.
W.T.F.?!
And finally, something that may top Catopia above. It’s the final photo, in more ways than one:
Yes, folks, that is a coffin on the porch. No word on whether it is occupied.
Thank you in advance for your renewed attention to detail (for crying out loud).
Sincerely,
Beth
