Its been said that a picture says a thousand words.

What do terrible Listing Photographs say about the value of your home?

Poor listing photography undervalues your property and will never convey how beautifully maintained and decorated your home is. Here in Vancouver, terrible (or non-existent) photography for listings is RAMPANT! Have a quick look on Realtor.ca and you can see how many listings have either bad or non-existent photos.

For the worst of the worst check out the blog Its a Lovely Listing for a good laugh.

Getting a professional photography is one of the best ways to get top dollar for your home. I have all my listings shot by the great folks at the Real Estate Channel and as you can see they do a great job.

So remember – If you want to get top dollar when you sell a property, get professional photography!

No… I don’t mean candlelit dinners and footsy!

I mean Acceptance Dates! Subject Removal Dates! Completion Dates! Possession Dates!

Basically the important dates when you buy or sell real estate in Vancouver. This is pretty much a 2.0 version of an older post on my old blog. Check out Important Dates in Real Estate Transaction if I make a mess of my explanation.

Hi All,

I’m a huge fan of open houses. They provide a low stress low anxiety atmosphere for potential buyers to see your listing. A lot of realtors don’t like to do open houses and feel they don’t do anything to sell a property.

THEY ARE WRONG!

Watch the video and let me know your thoughts.

Have a look at 3005-111 West Georgia Street. This is the suite I mention in the video.
