Check out the most commented photo on my Sarasota real estate website

By
Real Estate Agent with DWELL Real Estate

Marc Rasmussen and Dylan Rasmussen

This is me and my son Dylan when he was 6 months old. Dylan just turned 4 years old but I keep this photo on my website because I have received numerous emails over the years from people who love it. I have received emails from young families that wanted to work with me as a Realtor because they were a young family as well and felt some sort of connection.

Dylan used to always make that look with his face and mouth. He was sitting in my lap when I noticed that my wife, Kay, was coming over with the camera so I turned my head and made the same look.

That's a great photo--shows a lot of personality.  I think personal photos are a good resource for our websites too.

Hi Marc,

Cute kid!

We have three little ones and still want more. :)

It's tough to manage the time for all of them now, but I don't want to have regrets later in life.

Marc, that IS a great picture indeed.  It's always nice to see Realtors with a human side and not afraid to showcase it online or anywhere else.  It's way better than those stuffy "look at me in a suit" pictures!

Hi Marc...That photo is definitely a keeper. 

By the way, I have a son named Marc.  He's 43 but still very cute.

My most successful home inspection brochure had a picture of a little baby on it. Realtors here often pass out three brochures from home inspectors, and I got quite a few calls from prospective Clients who told me that they called me first because of the cute baby, and if I ever get them on the phone, they are mine!
