If online photography fails to capture attention immediately, the property profile misses its peak window of opportunity.

Real estate veterans recognize this as a key reason <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why some houses sell faster than others<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If a property suffers from deferred maintenance, buyers instantly perceive it as overpriced.
