Episode Description from the Publisher

House hunting starts online for most buyers, but what looks perfect on your screen may tell only part of the story. This week on Real Estate Today, we help buyers become smarter online shoppers by breaking down how to spot the difference between eye-catching listings and what really matters once you see a home in person. Learn how to avoid getting catfished by listing photos and what red flags to watch for. Guests include Ryann Brier, REALTOR® from Michigan, who shares expert tips on what buyers should look out for when shopping for homes online; and real estate professional Scott Henderson, who explains how he creates catchy songs to creatively market listings. Plus, in our Hot or Not segment, Krisztina Bell, founder of No Vacancy Home Staging in Atlanta, weighs in on selling a home by leaving rooms completely empty and the growing use of virtual home staging.
