https://ninja-post-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/181fda3a394435c22801fcd38dfba8ca.jpg When a rental scammer steals a listing, what they are actually stealing is your photography. That is the asset that makes the fake ad convincing, and until now the photographer has usually been the last to find out and the least able to do anything about it. This week a statewide MLS started doing something about it. Also in this issue: free top-of-Google...

DigitalReplica3D (302):
I like Tom’s @scanyourspace suggestion to be able to create a file for the Business Card add-on. I recently updated a bunch of Spaces. Creating new business cards one by one is redundant and time consuming. I’d like to see the ability to edit the size of the picture and logo within MP’s add-on. I needed to edit, crop and experiment various uploads to yield the proper sizing. MP appears to allow re-sizing however it overrides back to the...

@DanSmigrod, I almost always use the compass app on my iPhone for leveling, but for tracking the sun ☀️ Or triaging multiple scans on the Same day, I prefer to use the PhotoPills app. There are a ton of planning tools, but my favorite part is under the “sun” section, includes detailed geo specific info. 😁👍🏽 The AR option is very helpful when you first arrive on site.

Compass has sold itself from the beginning as "the technology real estate brokerage" so this is in keeping with their branding. Time will tell whether this is PR or they're really engaged. The real estate industry is entirely freelancers. Agents make money when escrow closes on a sale, and for the most part agents don't like spending their own money, their commissions, on marketing. If Compass is going to commit...
