Real Estate 101: According to Melanie Atkinson
Preparation, Preparation, Preparation!
When a house goes on the market for sale it is placed on the MLS. Within hours that listing is sent to hundrends or thousands of REALTORS and potential buyers looking for a house meeting certain specifications. Too often, when I get an MLS pop-up email, the house only has one exterior picture or it will have no description. My clients will call me and ask, "What does the inside of that house look like? Is something wrong with it?" This is the LAST thing you want potential buyers to think when they are looking at your house.
Before any of my listings hit the MLS, gorgeous pictures are taken and a detailed description is drafted. When potential buyers see MY listings, they see exactly what the house has to offer. First impressions are huge in real estate--you have to make sure the first impression people are getting is the best it can possibly be.
