Missing the big picture
During a showing this weekend, my client said to me, “I thought we’d need to redo the bathrooms because there weren’t any pictures.” My immediate reaction was that the agent did the right thing. The bathrooms were modern, but skinny. They would photograph badly. Better no pictures than bad pictures.
My client wondered if that’s so.
There were attractive pictures of the living room, dining room, kitchen, yard, deck and front hall. The front hall picture even looked like a front hall, not like a photo of a small piece of furniture. However, no bedroom or bathroom shots. There were floor plans available, too, but not on line.
I wonder if the lack of pictures discouraged buyers from seeing this property? Would you think the way my client did? Do you automatically assume a bathroom or kitchen is old and needs to be redone if there is no picture of that room? Is no picture better than a bad picture? Or would a bad picture be better, so you’d know the bathrooms were modern?
