I agree with Dale, perhaps you can hire a better photographer to take some better pics of the place... dress up the ad copy... I would photo shop the dead grass out and the leaves out...but since you have issues posting a link you may not be comfortable doing photo shop...here again maybe your phototgrapher could help you...

sell the sizzle not the steak... consider a re write...something like this....


Step in from the lovely level backyard with its landscaped gardens and a Koy pond into this wonderful home that is loaded with so many quality features. The Generously spacious 12’ x 24’ Master suite opens directly to its private deck with wonderful hot tub. There is an additional studio space perfect for so many uses with its own private entrance. The garage with additional storage opens to a heated breezeway. Enjoy sitting on the lovely stone patio and the property is already screened with a wonderful stockade fence. The above ground pool with a new liner and filter. The basement is clean and dry with shelving and built-ins. On town water and sewer, very efficient furnace 86% will save you money…last year the owners heating was only 400 gallons of oil.

Coy pond? Are the koi fish a bit coquettish?

Bravissimo !

I usually catch those . . . . I was completely blind-sided.

And we have the Coy/Koi Homonyms in the They're, Their and There thread too !

Thank you for the grammar lesson.

This is excellent...may I plagiarize? Thank you. I am unable to do any more with outside photos. I already get a lot of showings so I feel trying to dress it up more probably won't be effective and in my opinion, it's disappointing to a buyer to come and find what they see isn't in the photo. I also don't know photo shop. I have unbound appreciation for your thoughts!!!!

I think immagic was just suggesting you crop the dead grass off of the bottom of the photo. Using Photoshop is one of the easiest ways to do this, but there are many programs (including ones that come bundled as part of basic PC software packages) that can accomplish this feat.

Also, the purchase of real estate is an emotional experience for most people (I'm not talking about investors), so you need to appeal to those base emotions. Evoke a sense of ownership in the reader through your choice of words. If you can't get someone to start dreaming ownership dreams with your listing, then they will most likely not be moved to set up a showing.

Thanks, please feel free to use it asap and keep us posted on what happens....

It's not possible without correct listing. You can not sell your house because wrong documentation gives negative impression on the buyer. If you want to sale it, first of all check all documentation and its legal inquiry.

We haven't started advertising yet but did have an estate agent over to view the house and give us some advice and now he's chasing us as he has people desperate to come see it.... for us its the way to go because we would lose too much money trying to sell quick. Plus it keeps the family happy, as not everyone wants us to go so we're not giving everything up and if we come back then we're not starting from stratch (or living with the parents)
