1518 Steele Ave. Los Angeles 90063
SOLD at $345,000


We initially put this property as a short sale in October of last year. With the market picking up I advice my sellers of the possibility of selling it above the short sale price and possibly receiving proceeds from the sale. But before doing so we had to prepare the home. I advised them to do  the following: They refinished and stained the wooden floors. Painted the rooms. Painted the trim around the home and windows. They cleaned out the front and back yard. By doing all of this work the sellers received an offer which took them out of the short sale scenario and received above $10,000 in proceeds from the sale. It gave me great pleasure helping my sellers. I want to thank them for trusting my advice on the sale of their property.

Are You Serious! You want to sell homes with that photo?

     As promise, I am bringing to you actual photos that listing agents have used to list their client's listings. Still can not believe the seller actually gave them permission to list with such marketing photos. Let me know what ya'll think about these!.....

Selling a Home and a Business

Picture
   "Pick one any one! What is your favorite team? Don't worry I got your baseball cap. Oh by the way I am also selling this Orange color home. Hosting an open house right now if you want to preview it."
    NO wonder this listing expire. This was the only photo the listing agent had on the MLS profile and without any marketing remarks. I just can not believe the seller allow this agent to sell this home with such Marketing initiative. Oh it was in the market for over 347 days.

Picture
  "Not only will you be purchasing a 3 Bedroom - 2 Bath home but also a side business. No need to commute just wake up and start making money. Enough shade to protect your inventory. The busy street will definitely bring in plenty of clientele."
   I started laughing when I saw this one, but the property is actually right now in Escrow. It is a probate sale that has been in the market for over 302 days.

Are you Serious! You want to sell homes with that listing photo?

      In my business I am constantly looking at properties for clients. As I search for these properties I've come across listing photos that amaze me. I am not talking about those great professional photos, the ones with great lighting, with staged rooms and which are strategically taken. I am referring to the listing photos which have no place when selling a home. "What was this listing agent thinking about" is what comes to my mind when I see these photos. For the past months I've compile a group of photos which I will place in this blog every week. Personally I think they are funny, let me know what y'all think.

Great for Entertainment!

1. This photo is the one that started my collection of ridiculous listing photos. I realized most of our inventory is compromised of foreclosures and short sales and sometimes those homes are not able to be finance due to their condition, but at least take off the empty beer bottles before you post the picture.

Updated Bathroom, .... Not!

2. Did you not see the urine in the toilet before you took the picture? Ok let's say the toilet is not serviceable, the least you can do is close the lid. Remember this is an actual listing photo.

Picture
Pet Friendly!..

3. This was the only photo the listing agent posted to sell the home. The mutt did not like the idea, just look at his face. I don't think he or she liked the idea the home was on sale!
