Some MLS Photos Arn't Worth 1,000 Words!

This garage door was the only photo of this Palm Desert condo!We all know that a great photo is worth a thousand words. That said, I just don't get why so many real estate agents continue to take and use really bad photos. I'm not talking about the exposure being off a bit or that the composure could have been a bit better, I'm speaking about those photos that don't give you a clue what the property is really like!

A $1.5M estate home's kitchen at a bank owned listingAlmost 90% of today's home buyers start their property searches online. And you'd think that these listing agents would realize that. Why is it then that these poor quality photos continue to be featured on MLS sites across the nation? Business as usual for dinosaur real estate agents, lack of professionalism or both?

These agents are short-changing their selling clients, potential buyers and really themselves too. Many of the worst examples happen to be bank owned properties. While a few banks 'get it' it seems like the majority of banks still don't realize that a better marketing presentation of each of their properties might just bring more interest (and possibly more and higher offers) for each property.
