Photography For Real Estate

A few weeks ago PFRE Blog reader Lewis Leiboh proposed to me that he do an audiobook of my eBooks. Frankly I was skeptical since the PFRE eBook seemed a little too technical and visual for the audiobook format. But since I am a huge fan of audiobooks and have a two book a month [...]

Last week I got a question about MLS copyright rules. It reminded me that I haven’t talked about this subject in over a year. I’ve done a lot of posts on this subject in the past but I think It’s worthwhile bringing it up again. The basic issue is this: MLSs syndicate all their listing [...]
