So many real estate investors who’ve decided to list their properties for sale/exchange, don’t give any real thought to the nuts and bolts of their agent’s marketing program — or marketing knowhow for that matter. One huge part of marketing real estate is visual. The quality of your photos are crucial.

If yer like me, title companies are almost akin to white noise. That’s not a value judgment, just reality. Not being a land guy, title insurance hasn’t been a front burner issue. Lately, as in the last five years or so, it’s a bigger deal ‘cuz we’re not in San Diego, but all over the map. Finding a title firm who can handle everything we do — while offering as a bonus one of the best dirt lawyers around? Here’s yer cake — and here’s yer fork. :)

James Hsu a fellow contributor to BloodhoundBlog wrote Pictures are Worth a Thousand Words, but what are your pictures actually saying? It’s been shown by another friend of mine, Athol Kay, that professionally done photos will literally and significantly shorten the market time of a property for sale. Read the post and become a believer. This is why Brown and Brown hires a local photographer who is nationally known for his work.

David Stejkowski writes Introducing…River West National Title & Escrow LLC which is the unveiling of a new title and escrow company. Big deal you say? So What? 99 times out of 100 I’d be right with you. But Dave is an exceptionally experienced and talented real estate attorney, and his partner in the new firm is a man with 35 years of experience in the title business — in the trenches. The plan is to be able to insure title country wide. I’ve known about this coming announcement for a little while now. I’m excited, ‘cuz their new operation offers a welcoming cocoon for my clients — and a sense of familiarity. Nothing like 35 years of experience backed up by your own dirt lawyer. Happy days. Title is incredibly important — for our operation, this is huge.

About once a week or so, whether here or in random posts, you’ll find a different rendition of the national anthem. I’ll start with my personal favorite which was performed in a very recent Super Bowl. This one’s for you Uncle Dick.

  • Thanks once again for the link love Jeff.

    Good photos aren’t a magic bullet, but certainly are an affordable and controllable piece in the selling puzzle that pays out at the closing table.

  • They may not be magic, Athol, but they come pretty close.

    Your results have shown without debate what superior photos do to market times — reduce them significantly. In fact, you’re the reason my cousin the commercial photographer dude now does all of our stuff locally.

  • Well I’m waiting for a check from him then!
