Sometimes, I will admit, especially with small hmes, it is hard to fill 12 spots. On other sites, agents can have a varying amount of pictures.

Might that be a limiting factor or are the photos limited (within reason) to however many you want to post? I’ve wondered this for a while but never remembered to ask someone who would know.

Amy– Thank you! I didn’t get to watch American Idol because my DVR didn’t record it for some reason :( I’m looking for it online today. My hair? Thank you!! I just dried it with a round brush.

David– I tried to change my Gravater but it wanted me to log in with a different password and I couldn’t get it done. I will work on that today. Thank you for your comments!!

Austin– I will answer your questions in a new blog post. Thank you for your comments, and don’t forget to call me when you are ready to sell!

I’m most likely going to put my house up for sale sometime this year. How does weather (winter vs spring or summer) play a role in selling homes? I think it’s a safe assumption that more people shop for homes in the warmer months so you increase your buyer pool, but there’s also probably going to be more homes for sale which leads to more competition. Do you recommend particular times of the year for sellers to list their homes? Thanks!

Then again, I’ve seen plenty of boring descriptions, poor directions, and lack of photos in the listings I’ve browsed when we were looking, so I’d tend to lean away from my own excuses and toward the laziness aspect more often than not!

I hope you get some leads from your campaign; I have a feeling I’ll be doing some social media work at my new job that I’m starting tomorrow (well, today now, technically)!

By the way, the Gravatar (or whatever WordPress is calling the icon next to comments these days) you have might be improved by using the nice new photo you’re using on Twitter and the top of your blog now. The current icon has a bit of shadow on the right side that doesn’t look as good in such a tiny picture.

How does Michelle get her hair to look that shiny and silky?!

Discuss, people, discuss!

There will be a blgo post coming soon aboutour new technology. You may want to subscribe to my blog to be sure you don’t miss it :)

Your new technology sounds very, very cool. I would like to learn more about that!

I understand that a bunch of good online photos can be almost as good as a showing. Some agents just don’t take the time to post multiple pictures. I am lucky enough to work for a company that provides us with virtual tours, where other agents might have to pay for them. We are actually working on new technology where a potential buyer will be able to sit in front of the house and see a virtual tour or a video tour on their cell phones. How cool is that?!
