Does anyone agree with me or know the answer to why these sites look like they were put together by incompetent monkeys? Some sites may be worse than others but they all seem to have the same flaws. They camera pictures are always horrible and there description of property features is incomplete and horribly organized.
I'm not saying I am looking to buy a house directly online, but there needs to be a little more description of what the house looks like. These picture do give a good sense of specific features in the house, fireplaces, new appliances and unique features, with few exceptions to the give an idea of the size of the room, the location of the room in the house, or the orientation of the room in the house, and god forbid they actually put some kind of floor plan in the house. I even saw one house listed were the only picture of it was half covered by a tree the photographer ( if you can call them that) could have easily eliminate the problem by moving to the right 3ft.
The list of property features is a good example of how horribly there done.
Year Built: 1964
3 total bedroom(s)
2 total bath(s)
Master bedroom
Total full bath(s)
Approximately 1100 sq. ft.
Four or more stories
Master bedroom is 10x14
Living room is x20
Dining room is 9x11
Family room is 8x8
Kitchen is 8x
Basement level is sq. ft.
Garage
Heating features: Forced Gas Heating,
Forced Air Heating
Forced air heat
Anyone else think that list was put together and written in about 15 min? I know I do. Barley any information and half the stuff is duplicated. It looks horribly unprofessional.
I guess I just expect a little more professionalism from a company that takes 7% of your home鈥檚 value to sit on their *** until a buyer comes along. I work in the restaurant industry and if I had this bad of service I would be fired and I work for 10-20 dollars a sale not several thousand. But in the end what do you expect from someone that only has 50-60 hours of pre job training, when a burger flipper gets almost half that.Why do real estate websites look like they were put together buy incompetent monkeys?
Yes, I totally agree. Agents need to step up and put in more effort now that houses take so much longer to sell. I think the sloppiness is a hold over from the days when you just had to think about selling a house and you immediately had 6 offers in front of you. When we sold our house I know I really annoyed our agent because I was uber-controlling on which pictures would be taken and used to market our house. He would have let us leave dirty dishes in the kitchen sink and a car in the driveway if it were up to him. I also went back to him with changes to the online description that was written and made him update it. Agents work for sellers, sellers need to demand better work.
