This month we would like to feature some of our "Unsung Heroes", some of the people behind the scenes who help us get your homes sold. Eric Kittleson and Sean Sheppard are both photographers with Truplace, the company we use to photograph your homes and draw the floor plans. These fine gentlemen come in and shoot your homes so that they shine in every photo. Research shows that listings with good photos get far more internet views (and showings) than those without.. Eric has been with Trueplace for 3 years and Sean 8 years.
Thanks for a job well done.
Luis is a sign installer for LJS signs, the company that places and removes the signposts with the Long & Foster panels that you see in your front yard. Out from early in the morning to late in the evening rain or shine, Luis is a key component in getting your home sold.
Please give credit to our unsung heroes, as they are an integral part of our team.

Hope you are having a great summer!
