In my quest to always bring you the good, the bad, and the ugly in the world of real estate, I recently stumbled across something everyone in the real estate industry can appreciate. A tumblr account titled, and dedicated to, ‘Real Estate Agent Headshots’. There is a tumblr account for
So. Much. Junk. Why, oh why, if you are trying to sell a home and attract potential buyers would you choose to display it so, for lack of a better real estate term, heinously? Your home is your property. Just as a business can poorly market its products, you have

Kudos to this agent for getting right in the middle of the action and showing us exactly what we need to see, the view of the toilet from the shower. I tease. This blurry, quite frankly, ugly (hello lime green and open toilet seat!) photo probably shouldn’t have made the
Good listing photos help sell properties. Period. Fact. This statement is just as true for residential real estate as it is for commercial real estate. I think this is a tricky area of real estate to photograph. Generally the properties are really large and it’s difficult to build an interesting
