Question:
“Any smart tips you can share about buying a home?”
Answer:
Sure, here’s one…
When you look at homes online, pay special attention to the ones with very low-quality photos.
I don’t mean ugly homes necessarily, but the homes with photos that look like they were taken by an 8-year-old using an iPhone 1.
Homes with photos that are…
- Dull or dark
- Narrow (the photo is in “portrait” instead of “landscape”)
- Crooked
- Unfocussed
- Rotated sideways (yes, I’ve seen many of those)
- Show the agent in the mirror (my favorite!)
- Etc.
…are almost certainly much nicer than they look.
So agents and other homebuyers may be skipping right past those homes as they move onto the next one with bright shiny photos.
And that means you may find an overlooked home that’s pretty nice.
There’s your tip!
