residential: A picture is worth a 1000 words but curbside is where it really counts
- 11/20/13 05:39 AM
Photos with a listing are valuable and in this day and age necessary. But a drive by tells a truer picture. With a camera on every phone it becomes very easy to take and add photos of a new listing and place the listing on the local MLS or online web service.
