The Web was full of great real estate resources this month. Here are a few that we highlighted on our Facebook and Twitter pages, plus some fun from our studio!
Studio Update
Remember those artist training videos I mentioned last month? Our creative director, studio manager, and head trainer stepped into the studio this month to film an intro and try out new background and lighting effects. They got some amazing results. Check out this shot from their work on the intro.
Scam Alert
Realtor Magazine reported just last week that scammers are trying to get new homeowners to pay upwards of $80 for property records that are actually free. First-time homebuyers, who may not be familiar with the real estate process, are especially vulnerable to this scam. Please warn your clients!
