Denver House is Snowed in!

Are You Relocating to Denver?

If so, you might be discouraged if you saw this listing photo online. “They’re lying about their 300 days of sunshine,” you think to yourself. “Look, it’s May and this house has snow in front of it!”

Well, right now I’m looking out my window at tulips, flowering crabapples and daffodils. There were a few tiny flurries one day last week just to remind us that we’re in the Rockies, but trust me it’s gorgeous here.

Perhaps this listing agent just hasn’t gotten over to the house to snap a new photo. Today would be a great day to do it. Blue skies and no snow on the lawn would make a huge difference in the presentation of this property.

View the top website presentation of metro-Denver properties and you’ll quickly see the difference. It’s important to pay attention to the details when you have in excess of 25,000 properties listed in the Denver MLS.

    Glad to hear you are experiencing great weather even if some agents can’t seem to update their property photos…. If you ever decide to move south, Bryan College Station is the place to be! We haven’t had snow in YEARS!

    Hmmm - maybe I’ll retire there! Sounds nice and warm. Do I need to follow football?

    Gretchen, this blog certainly shows the difference between a Realtor Marketing a property and an Agent trying to make a sale. They forget that there are so many items that need to be checked off your checklist. Your photo is an example. Not very difficult to take a new photo and make a switch. Some of our clients insist on having their Christmas decorations up during the holidays. We tell them they have until January 1st to take them down and we are coming in to take new photos. Keep up the great blog.

    Wow! Though it doesn’t snow in Honolulu, I am going to think how our photos may be working against our marketing effort. Good work.

    Aloha Keahi - great to hear from you in HI! Every time I go there, I think I may never come back. I’m sure I wouldn’t get rock fever!
