Bucking The Real Estate Trend-Waynesville and Maggie Valley Real Estate

A Seldom Publicized MLS Tip for Sellers.

Sellers, it is important to know that when buyers’ agents are looking through the MLS listings, or the buyers themselves are perusing the available listings, the ‘featured’ photo that appears when a listing sheet is opened on-line, or printed out, is what will, or will not, grab the viewer.

Good photos, as well as plentiful (at least 12 should be posted on the MLS) photos, are ESSENTIAL to marketing your property, on-line or the old-fashioned way… on paper. TIP: Look at your MLS listing on the internet and make sure there are 12 good, professional photos posted to market your property on the MLS.

Do not tolerate:

• Snow covered yards for summer listings.
• Pictures with toilets featured.
• Exterior only photos for a residential listing.
• Pictures of beds.
• Less than 12 good photos on the MLS.
• Using the same picture(s) twice to fill the 12 photo slots available.
• Pictures of the resident dog should not be one of the 12 listing photos.

The bad MLS photos here were picked from expired listings. There was plenty of time to get good photos taken and posted to market the properties.
