PERCEIVED VALUE
If a potential buyer's perceived value of your home exceeds the actual price, he is more willing to buy. The urgency to buy disappears the closer the price and perceived value are. This means marketing the home to match the buyer's needs and desires. A real estate agent can help you know the buyer's hot buttons so marketing and presentation can be tailored accordingly.

Photos of featured houses (paid-for ads) were more extensive and sometimes in color, but most were black-and-white, amateurish photos.
