Seriously…Don’t do this!

One strategy I will use when trying to find a buyer a home is to look at properties that have been on the market for a long time.  Overlooked properties.  There are lots of reasons a property can be passed over.  It comes on the market at the wrong price. Maybe the listing agent doesn’t post photographs, the photos are of poor quality or they are just not interesting photos.  You may have seen s listing that has three photos of the inside and 5 of the yard.  Or even the ones taken with a cell phone!

Sometimes a place gets passed over because it just doesn’t show well.  It needs fresh paint  or lacks curb appeal.  This happens when either the client or the listing agent, or both, do not understand the importance of the first impression.  These things happen.

And then there is the place that says “you don’t want to live here at any price!”  These are photos I took when my clients and I visited an active listing, in the Falls Church area, that was not deeply discounted.

Any ideas why this one hasn’t sold?

Seriously, don’t do this!!!
