As real estate agents list all types of real estate there are bound to be some that are not as desirable as others. You must tell the truth in your listing of a home in order for people to trust that what you are saying is true.
There have been many times people have driven around cities looking at homes that they have seen online or in other forms of marketing and have been dissappointed because what they saw online is not what they saw in person.
This is kind of like when you see a commercial online of a nice meal that is by some restaurant and then when you go there it does not even look the same or as good. Although it is good to advertise your products in a way that are appealing it is also important to advertise the truth.
The biggest killer in real estate is when customers do not trust you as a real estate agent because you have a reputation of leaving or advertising property better than they really are. If you have a listing that says it has beautiful views and then a potential buyer visits the property and the view is less than to be desired then you are losing their trust.
It is vital as well to do good in the real estate industry as word travels very fast. If other real estate agents know that you have a reputation for not telling the property the way it really is then they will not be as excited to show your homes to thier potential buyers.
So in order to gain the trust of the consumers and other real estate agents please tell the truth at all times. It will pay off in the long run. If you list a home that is a dump, then that is what it is and you should list it and explain it in the proper description.

I agree with you 100% - things happen for a reason. I found this by accident and noticed that we have some things in common. Thats what I love about the Internet, every blog is like a box of chocolates
