    No-Photo Friday on MLS

    I am guilty guilty guilty of rants for posting photos of homes online.  Most potential buyers immediately pass on homes if no one bothered to snap pictures.

    Without revealing any details, I will admit that I have a listing that’s “neutral”-challenged.  The personality of the sellers is very much present in the home and nothing I can say or do will convince them to pack or put away the curtains and knick-knacks that scream, “MY house!” (rather, of course, than “This could be YOUR house…”).

    So after two months with zero interest from potential buyers, I removed photos yesterday from the listing. I kept the outside pictures because the brick exterior is appealing, but no indoor shots remain.

    Today we got our first call for a showing.

    It is true… less IS sometimes best.
