Rants....again.......

Happy Monday!

I hope you enjoyed a great weekend and you've been refreshed to start a new week.

I spent some time this weekend looking at all of the "Active" listings in Tarpon Springs on the MLS. I've said it before and I'll say it again; if you, as the seller, are not aware of how your property is being marketed to buyers and other agents, you need to contact your real estate professional today and become informed.

I can't tell you how many million-dollar plus homes are listed on the MLS with ONE picture. It costs no more to put 12 pictures on MLS as it does 1, and no matter what the price of the property if your agent has posted only 1 picture on MLS, you are being short-changed. Your property is not being marketed to its fullest potential. And in this type of market, your agent should be working doubly hard to get the word out about your home.

One picture! And do you know there were at least 2 properties where the one picture was taken from the car of the agent! They couldn't even get out of the CAR to take the picture! This tells me that the client isn't very important to him/her and that he/she doesn't feel that the client's business has to be earned.

Remember your agent is working for YOU. Tell your agent if you feel your property isn't being marketed properly and try to work as a team.

Have a successful and happy Monday!
