Do You Have Snow In Your MLS Photos?

Being mid-way through the month of May, now is a great time to review your MLS listing photos.

When searching homes on the MLS, I frequently find listings that still have snow in the photos or the trees are bare. Now is the time to take new seasonal photos. This is part of marketing your listings. When replacing dated photos, it's also a great time to take some more interior photos and ask your seller to move out or rearrange some furniture or make some other type of change that will improve the look of their home.

After updating your new photos in the MLS, don't forget to also post the new photos in Zillow, Trulia, Facebook, etc. You never know when a new buyer is looking online for the first time and they see your listing. Do you want them to see fresh, spring-time photos or dated, dreary winter photos?

Finally, this may seems like a no-brainer, but if you take your own listings photos, make sure you go at the right time of day when the sun is positioned to your advantage.

You know the old adage, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Show off your listings in their best light!
