Do YOU know the Dangers
of Overpricing?
Buyers & Sellers Determine Value
The value of your property is determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay and a SELLER is
willing to accept in today’s market. Do YOU know how buyers make their pricing decisions?

My Photo 10 Commandments
Work for You…
Lots of agents use BAD or few photos - This is
NOT in YOUR best interest as the client
Buyers WANT lots of photos & often ignore
homes without photos
Multiple photos maximize YOUR home’s
positioning on Internet sites like Zillow & Trulia
