real estate listings: Will New Sale Price of Homes Affect Local Tax Revenue?
- 06/02/08 01:54 AM

This may be the newest issue for the economy. In many areas, the assessed value (not the same as appraised value) is not equal to the highest sale of each property. With that said, there is already a "buffer" between the sale price and the assessed price that the taxing authority uses to value the home for tax purposes. In my town of Falmouth, there were only 36 sales in 2007 that were … (2 comments)
real estate listings: What does the case against the NAR really decide?
- 05/28/08 04:17 AM

But didn't the case just decide that you can't exclude one company from getting your MLS listings if you share them with other members? If you choose to give/share your MLS listings to/with one company, then you need to let all companies have them. Further, In my MLS, if you "opt out" meaning that you choose not to let all other sites display your listings through an MLS link, then you aren't supposed to use … (5 comments)

real estate listings: Listing Picture Suggestion
- 04/14/08 03:41 AM
Taking a good picture of a listing is an imperative in this business. Most homes can be made attrative with a camera and others - well, there are others. One thing to keep in mind when taking the pictures, is that the angle you shoot from can actually put a bad feeling in a viewers head uncontiously.

This is where vertical lines tilt inward at the top or … (4 comments)
