Picasso is good, thought of doing this, but have not incorporated into plan, just one of the things on the TODO list.

Webshots or Flickr will do the same thing for those used to the other online services.

Picasso does offer the offline benefit and it is fast.

Also, you can you the low res., but I would not use the lowest. It depends, you might want to make a flyer for another client and like a better picture.

Hey Diamond,
No need for high res in this situation.
These are for screen viewing only. Also it takes up a ton of computer resources and the download time to the computer will take 10 times longer. KISS. Keep it Simple.

Low res photos? Always have your camera at the highest resolution. You can easily drop the photo size on the computer and the photos always look better when starting with a nice high res version. Not to mention if you ever need to use those photos in a print publication. Good lighting is the most important thing to a good photo, keep that in mind.

On that last comment, I wanted to say I have to agree with Frank. Buyers are really smart and I have found they don't typically look to their agent to be the Vanna White of every house when touring homes. Great post Frank. I use Picassa, but I have only used it for out-of-town clients. This is a great idea and I plan on implementing it immediately!

Hey Tim,
Not sure I follow what you mean, but it isn't my style to be the type of Realtor that walks through a house that they have never been in before and say

"And over here is the bathroom, and here is the lovely 3 part kitchen."

I talk about that on my Double Agents TV appearance (goto Youtube.FranklyRealty.com )

But to each his own.

I've found the photo album to be the killer app when trying to remember 5-10 places.

We are all in the market to be successful, and some of us are better at it than others. Besides good photographs, one of the keys to being successful in a difficult market is introspection and knowing what you’re good at and what you need to work on is one critical aspect. Wouldn’t you be more productive with someone to act as a guide?

Flickr is much better than Picassa. You can sign up with your Yahoo name and password.
