This youtube video is labeled as an “actual” virtual tour and demonstrates what *not* to do when setting up an online tour of a home.

I actually take a multitude of photos of my listings, then set up a nice tour on Animoto.com.  If you haven’t found that site yet, don’t walk but RUN to use it.  Amazing, it is!

Enouno brings us an interactive mirror.  LOVE!

I’ve seen houses - for real - converted from what should be storage buildings.

Have a happy weekend!

Want to buy some land?  It could be as simple as heading over to eBay and seeing what’s available.  The top 10 land markets on eBay?

1.  Florida
2.  California
3.  Texas
4.  Arizona
5.  Colorado
6.  Michigan
7.  Oregon
8.  New Mexico
9.  Nevada
10. North Carolina

However, buying sites - sight unseen - could be a potentially stupid thing to do.  What if it’s next to a landfill, for example?  That doesn’t show in online pictures.  What if it’s land-locked with no accessible right-of-way?  Do your homework before you buy land.  The Survivalist Blog offers some tips, including:

Check local records of title and any other public sources or information about the property listed. Find out if it is really available, and who actually owns the property.

and

Check with the county tax assessor’s office to be sure there are no back taxes owed on the property, You want everything free and clear with no surprises. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and remember the most honest answers will come from those who have nothing to gain from the sale of the property.

Tell me, have you ever bought land or property on eBay or sight unseen?

One word to this agent:  BRILLIANT!

The fun starts at 1:43 with the dirty house pictures!

Have a happy weekend!

The only thing I see true on this spoof is the use of the word “Doll House” … it’s my personal pet peeve.  I hate when agents say their listing is a doll house!  It makes me want to make pink tissue paper flowers, not buy a house!  Meanwhile, this is kind of funny … untrue, but funny.

Kitchens are really the heart of houses.  So I clicked around the MLS looking for kitchens that caught my eye.

LOOK UP…

LOOK DOWN…

LOOK ALL AROUND…

And these two photos outside the kitchen because …

RAWR!!!

Have a great weekend!
