A New Way of Doing Real Estate

I started SactoLiving because I wanted to rethink the way the Real Estate business was being done. I think the old model of scouring for a listing, throwing it on the mls, doing a couple of newspapers ads and waiting for a buyer is outdated. My belief is both buyers and sellers should be getting more... I think Real Estate needs to be integrated with other services which offer customers a truly "full service" agency. In addition to design and marketing, my photography experience is an additional service that I provide to clients. The New York Times published an article about how crucial good photography is for selling homes these days. It stated that:

“Eighty percent of people across the country who bought a new home last year used the Internet while house hunting, and they rated photographs as the most useful tool in their search, according to a survey of buyers and sellers “

This makes complete sense. The first impression is always the most important. Below is a link to a multimedia presentation of the article:
