Why do foreclosures use such LOUSY pictures?
A client contacted me the other day, wanting to see some homes in Plainfield, Illinois. Given her price range, many of the homes she selected were foreclosures...
As I flipped through the pictures of the homes she picked, I was disappointed at what I saw...
-What is this? The cameraman couldn't even pick up the blinds?
-Tempting...
?
Wall paper. Peeling wall paper. Seat up...
Are you kidding me?
Although these pictures are a bit extreme, they are not out of the norm. Bad angles and horrible lighting are so common with foreclosures, I wonder...

What is the value of a Facebook fan? - 02/02/12 09:51 PM
Wall Street has been a buzz this week with Facebook's announcement of it's pending IPO (initial public offering).
As a former stockbroker who worked for both Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, I am fascinated to see Wall Street debate the merits of Facebook as a business, as well as putting a dollar value on what the company may be worth...
Some estimates put Facebook's value as much as $100 billion. $100,000,000,000. That is a whole lot of zeros...
