Most had a blend of photography and graphics (I've been pondering the use of photos), but it just struck me that nothing stood out, nothing was memorable.

Nice design, nice photography, nice work!

@Ryan Saulle my agent paid for staging, pro photography, sent an email to 5,000 other agents, marketed the property on social media, had buyers lined up before it even hit the market.

Offer an agent some professional photography.

The staging/ photography / and furniture selection makes a huge difference in how much you earn so I’d definitely recommend having someone with that kind of experience guide you in setup.

Photography? 

I just got an email from them offering free home photography for everyone in King County.Hi Julie,Exciting news!

If you are worried about losing money at the sale, Maybe also consider selling using a flat fee MLS brokerage using their full service option. you'll still have to pay 2.5% to the buyers agent but you'll be spending 1k or so to the flat fee brokerage vs. 6k for traditional seller agent fee at 3% on 200k sale. so extra 5k in your pocket at the sale.I've used a service in MD and had good results. no experience with below group so do your own research. expect to handle more of your own staging, photography, time etc. in exchange for some additional savings. https://www.flatfeegroup.com/NorthCarolina/You don't seem like your close enough to do your own long distance management adequately and have the experience to do it professionally enough to keep things in order from afar.

Oh, I work as a photographer, and though I've never done real estate photography my skills and equipment might eventually come in handy.

Now that I am in San Diego, the goal is to achieve with my wife financial independence so that we could chase more.As far as occupation, I work mainly in public affairs while also being savvy in photography and digital design.
