So, here's the thing. Unlike beautiful scenery, artwork, sculptures and tasty looking food photos which are pretty much ageless, I'm about to embark on the scariest thing in real estate, for me anyway. OMG, I need a new photo of myself. Arghh.
Years ago, I made the wise decision to incorporate our beautiful logo on my business cards instead of a head shot. I didn't want to be THAT agent clinging to the photo from the 80s with the big hair, padded shoulders and pant suit posed in the glamour shot with by chin resting in my gaudy ring festooned hand. Technically, I NEVER had any of those things but you get the picture. My FB photo is fine, taken after my hair gracefully donned the grayish, silverish color and I'm wearing awesome purple sunglasses. Pretty much ageless.
Years ago, when I went through the IMSD training with Ben Kinney we were encouraged to embrace social media and to have a strong presence so anyone who'd ever heard a bare whisper of our names could easily find us. Yep. Many of the accounts still have my photo from ahem, uhm, well ... okay, 10 years ago. Ouch, that hurt to see those words in print!
Now that I'm re-entering ActiveRain, I am going to have to say goodbye to the current (well, you know what I mean) photo and find someone to take another that is accurate but flattering. If we were still in the middle of the Pandemic, that would be pretty easy but wearing a mask now would be embarrassingly similar to the photos that THOSE agents still use 😉.
Wish me luck please on facing the scariest thing in real estate, a new business photo!
