Create a Free Billboard

This is not related to real estate per se, but I found a fun online tool where you can make free billboard signs using either pictures or fonts. Click HERE and see what you can come up with. I included some examples below of my appraisal company, HVCC, a broker friend named Keith Klassen, and a local Realtor based in Folsom. Enjoy.

What do you think something like this could be used for? Simply fun? Clever marketing? Web design? I’d be curious to hear from anyone on what you ended up doing with your image.

Photos from the Field: An Open Door in Oak Park

By Leave a Comment

While driving around during an inspection this week in the “Oak Park” area of Sacramento I snapped the following image with my mobile phone. It may be the real estate geek in me, but I get a kick out of noticing properties with issues like this. Do you notice something wrong?

Door in Oak Park

Yep, you got it. There is a door on the second story that opens to nothing below (well, except for concrete). Generally speaking, that’s not a good situation on a number of levels. To see a previous shot of a similar scenario I snapped in Midtown a few months ago, click HERE.
