When you need to sell your home fast, it is very, very important to have multiple pictures on the MLS showcasing your home.
The inventory for Jacksonville real estate is large. You have to make your home stand out or the buyers won't take notice. You need interior and exterior pictures of your home. The pictures need to be of high quality and show off your home's greatest features. If the pictures make your home look dark and cluttered they are not going to help you sell your house. The pictures need to be taken carefully with all clutter moved out of the way as you go. Many times the lighting needs to be adjusted before posting the pictures to the MLS. Only the best pictures should be used online. It is not unusual for us to take hundreds of pictures of a property to get the very best shots in order to showcase rooms or features in the best light.
If you do not have multiple pictures of your Jacksonville short sale on the MLS the buyers are usually going to think something is wrong with your home. When this happens they usually reject it outright. There are so many homes that are being showcased with multiple pictures it seems suspicious to buyers when a seller does not have multiple pictures of their home that is for sale. Buyers assume that the seller is trying to hide the poor condition of the home from potential buyers even though this is not usually the case.
It is very common for buyers to tell us not to even send them homes that come up for sale if they do not have multiple interior pictures. Don't put yourself at a disadvantage.
We believe these pictures need to go in at the same time the listing hits the MLS. That way when automatic e-mails go out to buyers announcing the new listing, the buyers can see what your home has to offer.
Most sellers we see in short sale situations do not have any time to waste. Banks don't waste any time once you are late. It is important that your short sale be handled correctly from the beginning.
