House Portraits

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Century 21 Sherlock Homes

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about closing gifts.  I mentioned that we take digital pictures of our listings and then when they close we send an email to a local artist and attach a picture of the house.  Chaz then does a beautiful sketch and if we need one for the buyer and the seller he makes a copy.  The copy is so good you can hardly tell the difference between the original and the copy.

Chaz or Lucy will then deliver the portrait framed or unframed, whatever we want.  He is very talented and does a wonderful job.  He doesn't only do house portraits.  I sent him a picture of my son when he was around seven or eight and he did a small portrait for me.  Kids are hard to capture.  A lot of artists make them look like weird adults, but he has a wonderful eye.

If you need more information about Portraits by Chaz you can email Lucy at lulubelle029@yahoo.com

How much does chaz charge for the drawings Liz? Thanks I think this is a great idea if the cost isn't too outrageous!

Vanessa I think you might want to contact Lucy at that email address I'm not sure but it might vary according to size and if he needs to ship far.

Liz, I know that we have a house portrait (painter) in our city, but cannot find the info. Great idea. Thanks for the email address.

That is a fantastic idea for a closing gift Liz. I once had a portrait done for my parents of myself, they loved it but I could not stand looking at it.
