I love being able to blog about this topic. I recently listed a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in the guard gated community of Four Seasons in West Hemet. I took the listing, recommended a list price, the seller agreed to my list price, as they always do, and I proceeded with inputting the listing onto the MLS This part never changes. I always fill in 100% of MLS data regardless if it is required to input the listing or not! I always use the full 500 character description, and input the maximum amount of photos (25 on the IMRMLS). My photos are taken by our in house photographer, who trained himself, he does use a very expensive camera along with a photo editing program, but the difference with him vs. other photographers: I get 50-100 high resolution photos to pick and choose from, whereas... 09/13/2010

The importance of great photos can never be underestimated! We chose to hire a photographer to shoot our homes as we feel the difference between traditional photos and photos taken and professionally edited is night & day. It can be the difference from your listing sitting on the market 1 day vs. 30-90 days! Buyers eyes immediately go to the vidid colors, and the "cartoon" feel as I like to call it. I feel in a down market, with less buyers and more sellers, the only way to stand out from the competition! Go the extra mile, take photos worthy of a magazine cover whether the home is a $50,000 home or a $5,000,000 home. You owe it to the sellers, to the family that entrusted you with selling their property in the shortest timeframe while getting the highest possible net. Look at the photo... 09/03/2010

I was reviewing comparable listings on a project we listed just last week in the Four Seasons 55+ community of Hemet when it brought a huge smile to my face. I was unsure of what price to go out at as the listings in that community are all over the place, from the 130,000 range to the 200,000 range. I realized that about 75% of those were short sales, which I do not consider competition. I then chose to see only Standard and Bank Owned homes, as those are homes where the seller has the ability to sell without needing approval of some sort. The following results made me jubilant (Yes, I get excited easily). There are 11 standard and 9 REO listings inside Four Seasons, which is a private guard gated community on the west end of Hemet. The lowest Standard listing was listed at $139,900 an... 09/02/2010
