. #3 just looks like bad clip art.

With Fiverr you end up with a lot of clip art just twisted someway or over lapping other clip art.

@Sebastian Gast I used a combo of weebly, and some free real estate related clip art.

Hell, I may even add in some clip art of my logos and photos of testimonials from my deals.DMM is so saturated, I've been feeling like I literally just need to just completely stand out.

Just use a clip art of a house or something that relates.

If you are looking for a highly creative and custom piece, be careful as many people use clip art for generic designs that may have been used in many of their previous designs and are really a copy and paste job.If you do use Fiverr, it would be best to find a designer that has been recommended by someone you trust.As far as 99Designs, Biggerpockets has use them in the past.
