- 03/19/11 03:56 PM
Promoting the sellers property with a great virtual tour is so important. It reminds me of the old saying " A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" One of the ways that I market each and every listing is to hire a professional photograher to go out and shoot some great photos and to set up a virtual tour. I take a few shots to add to MLS when the listing first goes live, for I do not like to see a listing go into MLS without pictures. I then schedule the professional photographer to go out and take pictures. … (17 comments)

Keep yourself safe.... GPS Safety! During a Mastermind meeting this week an agent shared a great point concerning the use of the GPS, the global positioning system.

Set it for a location close to home like Panera Bread, Home Depot and etc. This was suggested, for if you have it set for home and your car is stolen you are directing the thief right to your house. What makes this even more of a concern...your garage … (18 comments)
