Photos Increase Listing Traffic by 300%
It has been said that Real estate listings online with photos receive 300% more traffic than listings without photos. I know that no matter what I am searching for online (houses, cars, couches on Craigslist, etc..), I skip right over any listing that does not include a picture. So why are there still so many listings out there without photos (FSBO.com is happy that approximately 85% of its listings contain at least one photo)?
Some owners will say they do not own a digital camera, or do not know how to post photos online. Others may cite privacy issues, or not having enough time to do it themselves. No matter what the excuse, it is crucial that you post photos to your listing online. It will first get buys to stop and view your listing, and it will then let them know that you are serious about selling since you made the effort to create a complete and professional listing online.
Listings without photos send a message to everyone viewing it that you possibly have something to hide… my suggestion is to take that guess work out of their hands, and post as many photos as you are allowed. FSBO.com currently allows for unlimited photos on every FSBO.com listing.

I couldn’t agree more. Pictures are necessary to properly market a home in today’s virtual environment home buying process. Some sites such as Realtyzoom.com allow you to List on the MLS for a nominal fee. Also, many of these Flat Fee Listing companies allow you enter a basic listing on their site for fee and even upload photos.
