Not all real estate agents are created equal

This is an interesting look at the varied marketing style of different real estate agents. 

This La Canada home was purchased in a multiple offer situation in January of 2006 for $1,025,000.  This home was listed this month at $1,295,000 and in less than two weeks, the price had been reduced by $46,000.   Apparently the home has been extensively remodeled, not sure if for a flip or if the onwer hoped to live there.

Advice for home seller's: check your listing at Realtor.com and make sure your Realtor has posted "decent" photos.  This homeowner spent some money on a remdeled ktichen and gave the exterior a facelift and unfortunately the improvements are barely visable because of the poor photos.
