Agents, make sure your Homeowners know when those pictures will be taken...

Here's my thought. 'They must not have known the photographer was coming....'
I have seen too many online listing pictures with laundry piled on the end of a bed waiting to be put away, or worse, laundry scattered on the floor waiting to be cleaned. Too many pictures of toiletries covering a bathroom sink. Way too many pictures of cluttered kitchen counters.
I can only wonder, 'Did they not know the photos were going to be taken that day?'
Please, agents, forewarn your Homeowners. And Homeowners, if you don't make your house a showcase, it will sit on the market that much longer and you will get far less than you are asking...
