Most home buyers start their home search on the Internet. Alot of them look for homes while on break at work and due to company software can't look at virtual tours. They go on sites like Realtor.com and browse pictures looking for the best homes they can find in their price range. So can we all agree that the Internet and multiple photos are important in the marketing of a home?
Realtor.com ranks homes based on the number of pictures the listing has, so If you have one picture and you competition has several it might not even be seen. People search for homes on their own before they hire an agent and even when they have an agent. Think about it, when you buy a car and new car fever sets in do you just go to the lot and say "I'll take it!" or do you look on-line and compare them?
I would suggest that everybody who is selling their home do this: Look for your home on multiple websites. Look it up by area,then price, then number of bedrooms. Look at the pictures, do they show off your homes best qualities? Or if you are interviewing an agent ask them how many pictures they will take. Look for at least fifteen to twenty pictures with or without a virtual tour.
