It's a Mystery

This is my rant for the week, no wait, maybe for the day. Why is it when a Realtor obtains a listing that they fail to get complete information to put on the MLS? I pull up a listing in a desired area and there is an HOA mentioned but no fee, no room sizes, no school information and barely a correct address one picture. There is barely enough showing information. Why the mystery? Is this to entice me to look further? I think not. There is such a large inventory in the Valley of the Sun of homes why should I take the time to dig up the facts? Is it fair to the home owner and are you really marketing the home owners property properly?

And while I am ranting, take decent pictures. One shot of the outside is sufficient and for heaven sakes include a picture of the kitchen. Now I realize that some homes don't have all the information readily available; however, do some work to find the facts. I also recognize not all kitchens are spacious in appearance. Let's be real here, a buyers agent and a buyer is going to find out all the facts and see what it is like if there is interest. Leaving off information or pictures in the MLS does nothing more than to turn away prospective buyers.

Why take a listing and then make it a mystery?
