We’re testing a new layout for our log cabin sorts. The new design displays larger thumbnails and less text than our standard log home sort. However, you can see the agent’s remarks on the property when you roll your mouse over a thumbnail; for the listing detail page, click it.

Instead of a line of 25 thumbnails down the page, the pictures are arranged 5 columns by 5 rows sort of like Hollywood Squares. If the feedback is positive, we will employ the new on sorts other than just log homes.

Do you prefer the new design to our standard log cabin layout? Why?

Our number one request is by far, “more photos”. It’s crazy, close to 10 emails a day with just basically, “more photos please”. Apparently, for now, our MLS only exports 4 photos per property. What does this mean? Basically, we display every picture we can; there are no more.

Kip has set up a cheap, simple virtual tours site, in an effort to get local agents to post more unbranded photos so we, they, and other agents may better know, promote, and sell their listings. Additionally, agents that utilize these tours will have them linked from their listings that appear on our website.

With that in mind, we thought we would provide a friendly online “petition” to perhaps get a more public view of the kind of feedback we receive on a daily basis:

Dear Northeast Georgia Realtors,
I would like to see more than 4 photos per listing…

Have a comment, suggestion, or complaint about our Company Website?

Did you find a listing on our Website that had bad or misleading information (says “lakefront” but it’s not, misrepresentation of photos, etc.)?

Please post your feedback below…

Seems our Realtor-only tool for accessing the NEG MLS database has been hit by the early Spring forward bug. The full reports show the proper time, but when you update, the “Last updated” time is an hour behind.

Closed on this gorgeous prow front cabin Monday as a buyer’s agent. Black Ankle Mountain subdivision, super mountain views, furnished, 3 bed, 3 bath, on 3 acres. Asking price was $339,500; I negotiated the deal for my clients at $320K:
