The buyer wouldnt know that its pretty and first impression really lasts. I agree with the idea that one must put nice pics if he really wants his property to be sold.

I hate it when looking at the ads there's only one picture or only pictures of the surrounding area. It makes me wonder what's wrong with the property and I just move on to next one.

And if you want to make the deal personally. Also aside from that, you can also hire a realtor who will take for that. Your idea can be considered if you want to sell your house.

It is truly amazing what all paraphernalia one collects even if one lives in a house only for a few years. Paking and unpacking has to be the most exhausting job ever!

We have both lived here our entire lives and would like to explore other parts of the country. While I doubt we will move any time soon, we like to look from time to time and one of these days we may pull the trigger. @Matt :: Preparation before the sale can go a long way towards bringing in quality buyers. @Ling :: Exactly, when we browse online we tend to skip right over any home that doesn't have additional photos. When we looked at homes near the Smoky Mountains, we had to rely on the online photos and a local realtor for guidance before we had arrived. @Leo :: If a 1BR condo is going for over $300k, it looks like Vancouver is off my list of places to relocate.

But you can help out with a nice review and great pics. first impressions do matter. Nothing like a pro realtor to hype up the value of your house.
