I am in agreement wholeheartedly. but I like the personal touch part in #3 as well it shows, who you are. I'm getting the impression that you guys are buyers agents??? But I read somewhere that you are mortgage brokers also. Shouldn't this be important information be included in your homepage as well?

At first glance, I thought it was the buyer with the wrong color hair. Also, the position of the laptop suggests that it is in the same setting as in frame #2. -The buyer's hair changes in frame 4. Suggestions: -By incorporating the agent into frame #1 there will be a stronger signal that a partnership exists between the buyer and agent and that Red Fin has real live agents on the street. Doing so lessens the chance for confusion in frame #3. Making the seller non-white, would also help. -the research and hidden information subjects can be introduced by branding the printable house fliers as "Smart Fliers" or something similar. The paper in the buyer's hand could have a balloon caption that says "Smart Flier(tm)" with a link to a more comprehensive description of Red Fin's research resources with an emphasis on the hidden information.
