You know, technology when used correctly can be extremely beneficial to real estate marketing. This picture shows absolutely nothing. I hope the agent realizes their mistake and gets some better pictures! Oh, my! You know, technology when used correctly can be extremely beneficial to real estate marketing.

We are very visual and if that first impression isn't positive, bye-bye buyer. With today’s technology, buyers often rule out a property at their desk, based on first impressions.

Feel free to move or dispose of it as you see fit! In our MLS, we are required to have 6 photos and we can have as many as 16 and it amazes me how many times a listing agent will NOT use the maximum number of photos to showcase the home! How else do you get the buyer motivated to SEE the house in person? Another one that always burns me up is when the listing agent posts the same picture 6 times to meet the minimum picture requirement! UGGH! And those people that are selling their house are OK with that? Sorry Jay, somehow my post above got posted under the wrong topic. Feel free to move or dispose of it as you see fit!

You know, like those car commercials that don't show...well...the car. But it leave you wanting to leave your house in 25 degree weather, drive across town to go into a dealership to talk to a salesperson...

I'm guessing that the "broker" is a part timer who works in real estate when not at his/her day job. The upside is that a lack of sales will soon have this person out of the business.

That's one of our city recycling bins in the front yard, so your sign is safe in the hands of your local thief. Why do people steal real estate signs? Someone once took one of our website name riders off a sign. What possible good would that do anyone? We currently have a land listing that roughly every two weeks, someone removes the entire signpost and sign and deposits it in the middle of the lot. We put it back up, they pull it back down. It's just dumb. I'm about ready to cement the thing in the ground... And that is indeed a lovely fence! Norm - that's not a bad idea.... Hiya Maureen!

I had one stolen a few weeks ago. Wouldn't it be funny if it showed up in AZ. I am surprised he doesn't mention the cyclone fence in the description, just the tree.
