The banks are actually figuring out what you preach in your post. They are aggressively pricing their properties to the point of creating buyer activity and, ultimately, sales. Granted, I am only seeing about 1 in every 5 REO properties priced correctly and none of them are Perfect as you discuss in your post. But they are getting closer and some of this bank owned inventory is moving. Thanks again for eloquently stating what needs to be done to sell houses in this market.

I'm looking for crappy photos for some educational things which I'm working on. Do you think the real estate industry would be interested in hearing a few easy things to do to improve their photography skills. I understand that not every home needs photography that would be seen in a publication like "Desert Living"... however a few simple tips on camera selection, lighting, perspective, etc could surely help. Drop me a note if people in Arizona would be interested in tips @ any of your industry meetings. later, Adam N. Phoenix, AZ Steve,

Athol Kay in Connecticut (see my blogroll) has a bad MLS photo of the day post, with a bonus on Sunday, due to all of the bad photos he gets sent in from around the country. I've written a bit about it here as well. @Adam- I agree that a large number of homes, regardless of price range, are being marketed in MLS with inferior pictures.

To be a good seller, people really need to think like BUYERS. People don't like BS and they don't want their time wasted. I think bottom line seller's just need to think like buyers! Also on the MLS side, I've seen REALLY NICE homes where an agent has spend maybe 10-45 seconds getting some really mediocre photos of some pretty nice properties. If the home is something you really want to sell, at least take a little bit of time to do more than snap 1 photo as you drive by from your car! :-) Good luck sellers! ~Adam N.
