No wonder this Glendale home took 241 days and three price reductions to sell!
I know I harp about decluttering your home, but a little bit goes along way. And one day it will be time to move and do you really want to move all of the stuff?
If your home is on the market and has not sold, why don’t you see how it looks through potential homebuyers searching the MLS (multiple listing service). Hopefully, before the photos of your home were taken, you made the beds and cleaned the kitchen. This Glendale home just sold after 241 days on the market and 3 price reductions. I wonder how much more they would have sold it for if they had cleaned it up a bit. 
Notice the hanger hanging on the pool gate?

I wonder what their real estate agent thought when he took these photos and then what he thought when he posted them in the MLS.

Phyllis, you hit the nail on the head with this post. With over 87% of Buyers "shopping" the internet and MLS before actually viewing a home in person, one must wonder what this Realtor (and many other like him/her) were thinking.
With you permission I'd like to post a link to this blog post to the Active Rain Real Estate Network.

Great post Phyllis! I often marvel at what a huge disservice an awful photo of a listing is doing to the client. By spending a few hundred dollars on a professional Staging consultation you will get the 85+ percent of buyers who pre-shop for their homes on the internet to at least set foot in the front door of the listing. With photos like these no one is going to be beating down the door to see this place.

Even when the potential buyer decides to view the messy home, typically the buyer can't see thorough the dirt and mess. The buyer perceives that more work is needed - that more is wrong with the home than there actually is.
