I agree totally. It's like trying to describe a painting to someone over the phone. I also equate it to ebay. Think about the last time you went on ebay...Did you even notice the items without a photo? Consider also the return on the investment of adding a photo(s). I believe its worth it's weight in gold...

I agree with this completely. Showing a home on the internet without a photo or photos is the equivalent of trying to describe a painting to someone over the phone... I also equate it to E bay. Think about the last you searched for. Did you even give the items without a photo a second glance? I know I did'nt. For the extra pennies it cost to do people are significantly missing out on a lot of bidders.

The same holds true without pictures of a home on the internet. Homes are tangible items that we need to see and touch... Notice there are two parts: seeing and touching, both must be present.

Homes often will sell within the first moment a buyer sees it...If there are no photos to see that potential buyer probably move on to the next listing. If you were trying to sell your home would you be happy with that???
