Great homes get ignored every day because of avoidable listing mistakes. Fix these three issues and you’ll boost visibility, leads, and days-to-contract—fast.
1) Photos that don’t sell the space
Buyers scroll past dark, cluttered, or vertical photos. You need 12–20 bright, horizontal images with consistent framing: exterior front-three-quarter, main living area, kitchen triangle (sink–range–fridge), primary bedroom, secondary rooms, bathrooms, utility area, and one community/lot amenity.
Fix it fast
- Shoot at eye level, mid-day; lights on, blinds open.
- Stage lightly (clear counters, add a plant/towel set).
- Keep the same aspect ratio for a clean gallery.
- Use SEO-helpful filenames (e.g.,
3Bed-2Bath-DoubleWide-Kissimmee-LivingRoom.jpg).

2) Vague titles and skimpy details
Listings with generic titles (“Great Mobile Home!”) and thin descriptions underperform. Prospects search by beds, baths, city, condition, upgrades, and land/lot status.
Fix it fast
- Title format: “3-Bed 2-Bath Double-Wide in [City] — [Key Upgrade]”.
- First paragraph covers lot status, year/model, size, major updates, financing options.
- Add a scannable spec list: HVAC year, roof type/age, skirting, tie-downs, appliance package, parking, pet rules, community amenities, showing instructions.

3) No clear conversion path
If buyers can’t reach you instantly, they bounce. Every listing needs one-tap contact, pre-qualification guidance, and fast follow-up.
Fix it fast
- Put call/text buttons and a short form above the fold.
- Add a line on financing: “Pre-qualify with a manufactured-home lender; we’ll send options after you inquire.”
- Auto-reply with FAQs (lot rent, utilities, showing times) and a self-schedule link.
- Reply within 15 minutes during business hours—speed wins.
