Have you ever noticed that the MLS is full
of many lame photographs. Team Teasdale Realty was hired to sell a certain
home in Lindon, Utah. The previous Realtor's
listing had expired. It was in the
middle of the summer. Guess what? It still had snow in the photos. This
sends the message to
Utah buyers that the home has been for
sale forever and that nobody wants this
home. There was only a single photo of this
home. If you look at the photos in the
second slide, you will see our Associate
Broker (Dave) took 12 exterior professional
photos of this Lindon home. This helped
our listing get several showing over the next
two weeks. Buyers want to see lots of
quality pictures. Make sure you hire
an Agent who understands the importance of
photography. Compare our photography to our
competitors.
Many Realtors post only one or two exterior
photographs. Really?? A buyer
sitting in California and planning a flight to
come to Utah County will make a list of all
the homes (s)he wants to see before
(s)he arrives. If you don't make the
home look great, the buyers will not want to
make the effort to come and see
it. I recently went to buy an iPod cord
on eBay and found some of the ads for a $3
item had more pictures than a $300k home in
Lindon! If you are going to pay me a
commission to sell your home in Utah County,
I am going to give you the best marketing
possible and work the hardest I can to get
your home sold.
Here are some more photos of this same home
in Lindon that expired on the MLS. The
previous Realtor took the photos on the left
in blue. Our Associate Broker took the
photos of the same room (in the red). Dave took several photos of each room,
made sure there was
proper lighting, and used a wide-angle lens. Buyers need to get excited about
seeing
your home. Mediocre photos will get
you a lower offer and less interest. This is another small,
yet significant, example of how our
Team manages to sell such a huge volume of
homes year after year. We pay
attention to the details. Hire a Realtor
who can
make your home look the best in the
neighborhood!
