Why don’t you show internal photos of homes for sale on this website?
When buyers begin looking for a new home, they use the internet mostly for research purposes to gather enough information to base a decision on whether the homes they are looking for are suitable to their needs and the location and facilities available in the area they are looking.

By showing endless numbers of photos of the internal aspects of the property many buyers simply move onto the next property and can dismiss the property they have seen on the internet as ‘not what they are looking for’ based on a few pictures. You cannot get the ‘feel’ of a home simply by looking at pictures, you can’t pick the outlook from each window, hear the birds chirping or see the room sizes as you walk into them via a photo. If a picture says a thousand words, then a personal viewing says a thousand pictures.

Also as security for our sellers, by putting internal photos onto the internet, can compromise the security of the home. It has been said that in some areas that burgulars use the internet and Home Opens to pick the next victim, they can obtain a layout of the property and also see what possessions the home owner has on display. Can you imagine how easy it would be for a burglar to find a new plasma TV? Simply go onto the internet and look at agents homes listed for sale, find one with a big plasma TV, pick the address from the agent and go get it! We put the security of our home sellers above the ‘traditional’ way of advertising. Buyers like it too!
