    <description>My Name is Tom Orlando
I am a Realtor serving the Pottstown area and Surrounding Communities.  I have high morals and high standards. 
Sometimes I see evidence of others not properly proritizing customer service to their clients; the very people to whom they are held to the highest fudiciary responsibility.
So this is the place where I can show others what services one SHOULD be receiving but might not be; and in some cases what to do about it.

      <title>If your selling a 200k property and above...</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Nothing is worse than going onto the mls and seeing a 200k and above &lt;a href="http://www.iknowjackandtom.com" target="_blank"&gt;home&lt;/a&gt; and seeing it is on the market for 10 or more days with no photo or the 1 photo from the mls. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This is a great disservice to your client!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;AGENTS: they have intrusted you with their most valable possession to sell and you don't have photos to help you. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; with 80% of buyers looking online first before they even call an agent when they come across this listing &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; and don't see any photo or just 1 they think I don't know any thing about this house lets move on and you, the agent, lost.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We are in such a visual world so we the agents must protect our clients best intrest by providing them with the best possible advertising; and photos do that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So either get yourself a &lt;strong&gt;wide angle lens camera&lt;/strong&gt; or higher a professional photographer to capture the beauty of your clients home. also our mls lets you have 12 photos to showcase the home so &lt;strong&gt;use them&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But &lt;strong&gt;don't, &lt;/strong&gt;and I say &lt;strong&gt;don't&lt;/strong&gt; take a photo of just the toilet, as I know it is an area that people like but I feel that there are other areas that would better serve you in selling the prpoerty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;that is all for now &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
