I get the boarding house perception, which I'd like to avoid via quality tenants. 

Look for disputes about rentals, extra fees, restrictions on rentals.My best .02 tip is get on the board or get involved (I was President of 2; VP of 1)... you learn a bit about larger scale property management and can counter the absentee landlord perception. 

Does it enhance or otherwise alter your perception?

Now you are building your credibility in two areas - First, the numbers, obviously, but next is the sneaky part: Their perception.

Is that your local perception?

Why is there no 360/3D tour to REALLY show the space.As others have mentioned, when all else is right and the house still does not sell, or draw at least an average number of showings, it's about the buyer's perception of value vs. price.Why did you price it where you did when you launched the listing? 

The internet will do you a disservice because you'll get advice from people who may not know any more than you.The perception of an impending recession will change peoples behavior in the same way perceived real estate mania over the last year or so has changed peoples behavior: it makes everyone insane. 

I suggest new Realtors get past the image perception thing, the way you carry yourself is more important than what carries you!

It isn't which is obvious from the pics, but perception is everything.

All a matter of perception, winter can work particularly if you are selling and a buyer walks into a nice warm, cozy house with the aroma of fresh coffee.... almost instant sale!
