Agents need to provide as much information to the public as they can to make a sale for their client (a seller in this case). This is called Marketing and one of the things we get paid for. To create as much exposure as we can for the seller's real estate.
A client called me yesterday on a home they found online. Being that they are 120 miles away, they were interested, but needed more information. The only photos the agent posted online were: 1. The front of the home (which is rightly so the #1 picture that should be posted). 2. The kitchen, with most of the cabinetry cut out. 3. The middle of a street that the home is not even on (trying to show the faint view of the ocean).
So I spent 45 minutes this morning going to the property, taking photos, and sending them to the client. Which is my job as a buyers agent. But I work hard for my clients. A lot of agents wouldn't do this, and a lot of agents still don't know how to send pictures... though a lot of the veteran agents have been making advancements in technology.
If this buyer didn't have a relationship with a hard working agent, they may be more interested in a home that shows more photos and sells itself better.
Some homes don't have many photos for a reason. Because some photos may hurt the sale instead of improving the sale, which is understandable.
But on this property, I shot 11 great photos that showed the quality that this home possesses. And it's a condominium for $489,000. Huge sale.
