I created some web pages for a rental property I had years ago. Photos and a floorplan and links to related stuff (yahoo map, at the time, some satellite image...). It was significantly better (more info) than anything anyone else had. When I was renting it out again last year, I noticed some (a minority) of professionals had improved but still only like 5% at most have even what I would consider the minimum. <em>John Hunter's last blog post..<a href='http://management.curiouscatblog.net/2008/04/18/the-defect-black-market/' rel="nofollow">The Defect Black Market</a></em> It is amazing.

You would think that when you are trying to sell something that expensive that requires visuals and lots of them that they would be trying to immerse you in 1) the home 2) their incredible service. We have found the same problem in church supplies. Vendors sell items for $10,000 and up and the only image they have is the two inch picture in the catalog. When we ask for some multi-view images or even something larger with more detail, they don't even seem to understand why someone would want more. <em>Ian's last blog post..<a href='http://catholicinformation.aquinasandmore.com/2008/04/15/pope-benedict-has-landed/' rel="nofollow">Pope Benedict Has Landed</a></em> I have always been amazed at realtors’ sites as well.
