Your listing photos are doing more damage than your price tag.

I watched an agent post a $899,000 home this week with avocado s**g carpet front and center… and a powder-blue toilet as photo #2.

Buyers don't see "potential." They see "pass."

Listing photos are the first showing. If the first showing happens on a phone screen while someone's on the toilet — your home better look good.

Stage it. Declutter it. Open the blinds. Hire a real photographer (not your cousin with an iPhone 8).

Selling soon? DM me before you list. Please.

He offered $20,000 under asking on a listing that had been live for 8 days.

The seller didn't counter. She laughed and slid the paper back.

Here's what most buyers don't understand about hot listings:

When a home is priced right and sitting in a fast market, the seller isn't choosing between your offer and nothing. She's choosing between your offer and the three other ones already on the table.

A lowball doesn't open a negotiation. It removes you from the pile.

If you want the house, you compete for it — strong price, clean terms, fast timeline. If you want a deal, you look at homes that have been sitting 30+ days.

Different strategies for different listings. Know which one you're walking into.

Which side were you on in this scene — the buyer or the seller? 👇
