false, only after a certain point.  If you do not have enough info out there then you will lose their interest right away.

This depends on too many factors! Property type, accuracy of info, individual needs of a buyer, ability of the agent to convey info with clarity, ability of consumer to understand info. EXAMPLE: awful skewed-looking stitched photos. Buyers get a headache but the location's where they want to be. If they had the good sense to hire a buyer's agent, they were already told what to look for--and past. So the answer is yes. True or false. You're welcome! 3:)

    This topic goes back to the BS days of real estate magazine advertisements that omitted the address, and even the price.  Information is GOOD, not bad!

Praveen,

It depends on the demographic and psychographic of the market this is intended for...A

Yes, I try to post as much information as possible. I want only calls from people who saw all my 40-60 pictures and have the needs matching to that listing. I was too many times in time wasting situations when you do not have enough information and find the house that does not match the description or your clients needs. 

1st off stop YELLING in your comment.

I think that initially buyers are not qualified to rule out any properties until they actually get into some houses & become more accustomed to our way of describing them. Case in point, raised ranches vs split levels, etc.

I made the comment, so I'm going with "True"

Explanation:

Yes you need basic information out there, descriptions, photos, address, price, etc.  There can be too much information though, photos that show things in a bad light.  For example, the 360 degree photos of a room.  They show the room from good and bad angles with no control over the exposure.  A buyer could be turned off by something in a photo, yet would otherwise love the house. 

I've had buyers rule out a house because of the photos seen online or because of the way something was worded, like "multi-level".  They eventually saw the house in person months later and fell in love with it, placed an offer and bought it.  Their only regret, ruling it out because of a photo that showed a negative that they thought was a deal breaker, but was easily fixed and not as big of an issue in person.

Information has a fine line.  Too much info can overwhelm or dissuade a buyer, too little info can annoy a buyer (or their agent).  Provide room dimensions for example and that may turn off someone who can't picture an 11x11 room or thinks that's small.  Get them in the house and they love the room size and see it'll work.  Don't provide a price or other vital information and you may get a phone call, but you may not even get someone's interest as they'll imagine their own price.

I think it's true.... have just enough to make them call you so you can have the opportunity to close them for an appointment to MEET.... important information like the town, the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and the price....that's enough...

False.

If providing less information to prospective buyers is the driving goal behind the "wikipedia of real estate" that you hope to create, I'd say don't bother. Providing more information protects the consumer, and consumer protection is built into the Realtor Code of Ethics. Making more information available to the public also protects the agent/broker.

False...marketing, advertising and disclosing is an art-form. Furthermore, in capable hands, it produces good results. Tell what is pertinent and relevant. People who are serious players are waiting for it

True.

I have been working only buyers for 25 years and while they want tons of info if they are interested in making an offer, I do think info such as room sizes,number of windows, and room colors may be enough to reject seeing the property.

A 3 bedroom house may be laid out with more usable space than some 4 bedroom homes, yet most will want to see the 4 bedroom.  A large room with a bunch of windows may not be fully utilized, but may add some needed light.

Buyers need to see the property to fully evaluate it...or let me do the eliminating.  

Sometimes, buyers elimate good houses and want to see the "b" list simply because they come to incorrect conclusions based on too much information.

Just like going on a blind date, too much info can be a turnoff...

Eve

Based on the info provided i would say FALSE. I personally don't like half the info. I.e. great location! But no address listed. Big Price Reduction call today-I am not going to call you......

This is an invalid question.

True or False without providing the information to be judged is an invalid question.

That is what creates an unintended selection bias.

This is like asking if a dictionary containing 900 pages is better than one containing two pages.  The reality is they are equally worthless if in a language not understood by the reader.

Because you have providing INVALID choice the selection bias will result in this example as "more is better."  That is WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE, and the question will deliver that validation.

False - it enables a buyer to make a better informed decision, to proceed ot not

False, they can make an informed decision.

True - but that is a good thing in my opinion. 

I don't want my Sellers primping and preening for showings for Buyers who would have otherwise passed on seeing the home if more info was provided showing that the home wasn't suitable for their needs. 

False:  The more information out there gives the buyer the confidence to proceed with the purchase ... making an informed decision. 

true but I like to think the more the better to get the people excited.

False. 

false- why waste time if the house won't work for some reason the buyer objects to

I think it's false! Many buyers will have multiple print outs and lists of homes they want to see. Then once they are in the house, or even the neighborhood, they know it's not the right home for them

My buyers like lots of information and in fact it saves me time too. I sent a list of homes for buyers to check out (about 15) and they narrowed down the list to about 6 and drove by all six. Only one made the cut to see inside and verify if it looked like the photos. They are writing an offer tomorrow.

I believe that to a certain extent.   YOu need to have some new things to explore, but not any major ones.  They should be part of the draw

Praveen Mudwani - my answer is FALSE!

More information you provide better it is for buyers - and something of the additional information may help buyers to look at the home.

I've hear that's the case.  Not sure I believe it.

I would rather have a buyer know and move on than spend an hour showing them and they hate it becuase they didnt know. 

Just read your Profile page and I wish you the Best of Luck in your Surveys, as that will determine which direction you will go, with realtors. 

No, not necessarily, but maybe and also maybe each piece of information eliminates someone, yet leads to the real buyer if the information is well-received i.e. if that is what they were looking for.

basically true. it could, and if they veto early on, better for you; they would have anyway.

Information is not bad, hiding flaws is.

If a piece of information may kill a sale why wait to bring it up?

False, the more information a buyer has about a property the more likely they are to look at it only if it works for them.

For some yes, others not so much.   Many buyers are looking for reasons to disqualify a potential home as a possibility, so the more information they have, the more reasons they have to disqualify it.  But, sooner than later they will get this information anyway.

As with most question: True or False, Yes or No is rarely adequate without explanation.  That's how lawyers twist testimony to fit their side.  

So, the answer is... "It depends".
