		<description><![CDATA[The NEG Board of Realtors has increased the number of potential property photos from 4 to 24. As you know, I&#8217;ve been pushing for this as the overwhelming majority of my emails ask for &#8220;more photos&#8221;.
It will take awhile for agents to populate their listings with more photos, but many are already exceeding 4 per [...]]]></description>

Wow, this one looks like an old bear. I&#8217;ve seen similar ones in pictures but have never encountered one this impressive “live”. If you haven&#8217;t heard of trail trees, they were basically used as road signs/markers (and sometimes secret message drop boxes, hence the bear&#8217;s mouth?) by Native Americans.

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re all guilty of letting those leafless winter listing photos stretch into summer sometimes, especially if you get a new listing in late winter. Let&#8217;s face it, it can make your listing look pretty dated when it&#8217;s 90 degrees outside and there&#8217;s frost on the windows in the photos. That this area is so lush [...]]]></description>

Usually, we prepare ourselves for the annual spring season jolt, as the winter trickle of buyers becomes a raging river of second home shoppers with the fever for spring in the mountains. However, we&#8217;re still looking [...]]]></description>

Virtual and video tours have given real estate shoppers the ability to get a pretty good feel  for a property without leaving their homes. VuPod promises to bring the consumer back into the storefront by providing a 360-degree, surround theater, life-like walk-through.
It won&#8217;t replace the stay-at-home version (virtual video tours) or actually walking-through a [...]]]></description>

Generally, if a cabin is marketed as furnished the Buyer receives all of the furnishings in the cabin minus the owners personal items. Examples of personal items should basically include the obvious toothbrush, robe, slippers, and sometimes Grandma&#8217;s antique dresser or other personal [...]]]></description>
