How are you all getting your headshots done these days?

Curious how everyone in real estate is handling headshots right now.

Are you still doing the full traditional route (book a photographer, studio lighting, 2–3 looks, etc.), or are you going more DIY with good natural light + phone + light editing?

Personally, I’ve run into a few problems:

  • I outgrow my headshot fast (new haircut, new style, different vibe).
  • Coordinating a shoot around open houses and client calls is a nightmare.
  • I end up reusing the same image everywhere and it starts to feel stale.

I’ve been seeing more talk about AI‑powered headshot tools lately and keep hearing the name Looktara come up as an option for getting “studio‑quality” photos without a photographer. Supposedly you upload a bunch of your own pics once and then generate different professional shots as you need them.

Has anyone here in real estate actually tried it?

  • Did the photos look realistic enough for yard signs / business cards / online profiles?
  • Would you trust an AI‑generated headshot on something permanent like a bus bench or billboard?
  • Or do you feel like, in this industry, it still has to be a traditional photographer to feel legit?

Would love to hear what’s working for you—both for keeping your image current and for not spending a fortune every time you want to update your look.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
