JaxRealtor's Q&A

No, most Buyers and Sellers get the benefit of Realtor expertise for free unless a transaction closes. At closing, whomever has agreed to pay the Realtor commission is expected to pay. [Exception: Cafeteria Plan - Fee for service brokerage.]

Most times I stage and photograph homes when they are listed, and I can take as many as 30-50 pictures to capture the homes essence. Videographers tend to take progressive, professional shots and photo-stitch them together. The end user of a Virtual Tour often gets an eye-ball shape or 180-360 pan of stiched still shots. Some customers have complained that tours are distorted and give less information than multiple still shots. With my Canon 40D and wide-angle lens, I don't need to Photoshop or stitch my pictures. I can just about capture an entire room in one shot. Do people really need video tours when a multiplicity of photos are available or is it simply a preference of online viewers?

The lower level has a finished basement area and a 2-car side entry garage. It appears as if the property has 2,000+/- sq ft on the upper level and 700 sq ft +/- finished on the lower level. By the way, the risers and steps are finished with plywood and need hardwood or carpet installed. Thanks! B

Not all tax records updates are correctly indexed on Google and Zillow maps. On the other hand, it could be that your RE number was improperly reported in the mapping system. Check the website at http://www.coj.net and click on maps to make sure the City of Jacksonville has you properly recorded. Best wishes, Brenda Miller
