I have developed a method of taking photos of my listings from a different perspective.  I felt this would cause the prospective buyer to notice the property a little more than the average photo. This system includes a 30 foot telescoping pole, a digital camera, a pocket TV so I can see what the ...

I have threatened to offer a photography class to local REALTORS for over a year now.  Each time I ask a group if they think such a class would be beneficial, I get an overwhelming "YES".  There is so much to share, but I want to keep the class concise and interesting so they will learn.  If I st...
