I have always been curious to see that the top agents use our services, but struggling agents in the same office do not. The lead by example factor just does not seem to translate throughout the real estate industry as much as we all would like. Thank you for the great research statistics.

What many real estate agents have yet to realize is that we are now in the era of "Curb Appeal 2.0" because with a click of the mouse, you're now inside the house. Gone are the days where curb appeal was defined by having a tidy front yard. With over 90% of home buyers searching for their next home online their initial impression takes place in the privacy of their own home without the pressure of a sales person and the thing that they pay the most attention to is the photography. If the photos don't inspire them, they click BACK and all the marketing, staging, advertising, self-promotion, and sweat are lost. Real estate agents often state, "Pictures don't sell the house". While that may may or may not be true, one thing that is indisputable is this: Poor photos will absolutely kill your chance of even getting the buyer to visit the house in person. My message to agents (and homeowners putting their home on the market) is this: If you want to give yourself the best advantage in the market, invest in professional staging and bring in a photographer that is skilled at shooting architecture - just because your cousin Vinny shoots weddings doesn't guarantee you'll end up with photos that will inspire buyers. Interior photography takes talent, skill, and lighting equipment. Here is a great before / after comparison of agent photography and professional photography of the same home with the same exact staging. http://www.weichert.com/search/realestate/propertyimages.aspx?p=21230865 http://www.onlinepropertyshowcase.com/showcase/10240 Which presentation would you want for your property?
