Get Your Halloween Home Photo Showcased!

As we stock up on Snickers and M&Ms in anticipation of the little witches and goblins arrival, our neighborhoods have  begun to take on a most haunted feel.  

The homepage of RealEstate.com only showcases the best of the best and with Halloween fast approaching they're looking for a few homes that have that spooktacular look.  Since you're out in the field every day, they've asked us to see if the members of AR have any worthy entries.  

Do you have a photo of a home that showcases the spirit of Halloween?  Check out the rules below and then submit your entry to photos@realestate.com for a chance to be on the homepage of realestate.com.  

A past contest had one of our own make it on the homepage AND commercial...shout out to Amy Hahn!

Good luck to you all!
