FSBO with crooked and blurry photos from a cell phone a one-sentence ad scream amateur who doesn't know what he/she is doing.For rent, Realtor.com.

I'm an amateur at it, but they turn out pretty good and "pop" much more than a simple point and shoot camera.I'm using:Nikon D7000AF-S Nikkor 12-24mm 1:4GPhotomatix Pro (to merge the HDR shots)Adobe Lightroom for photo editing.This house was shot with my camera http://wheelhouseproperties.com/2013/01/1666-n-ridge-circle/This house was shot by a prohttp://wheelhouseproperties.com/2012/01/4435-e-oxford-lane/I quit using the pro to save costs.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have a domain like that... in fact it might be a very good one, but you're not going to put that domain on a business card and definitely not on a bandit sign.Because domains are pretty cheap I think it makes sense to have a professional one with your company name, a keyword rich one and maybe something shorter that easily fits on advertising.Disclaimer: I am by NO means an SEO expert, probably not even an SEO amateur yet.

Add in the cost for the course, the license, joining the local MLS and Associations of Realtors, and your monthly desk fees, etc. you'll have lost money rather than saved by getting a commission.To rant for a bit, "part-time" agents are a really big problem for the real estate industry because too many amateurs get their license and sell 1 home a year for their friends and family and usually deliver extremely sub-par service.

I have read from multiple sources about the benefits of a property manager, CPA, attorney, mortgage broker, etc...and as an amateur in this field I want all the help I can get from them! 

Amateurs don't because they KNOW they can get more for the house ( since it's theirs I assume!).

(Start with fix and flips as amateur & and the next move into commercial renovations and so forth.)

Do you appear to be an experienced professional or a part time amateur?      

I spend most of the winter being an amateur meteorologist and pissing my painters off by constantly scheduling and rescheduling them.
