The hour the house is lived in
Every house we sell is photographed at dusk, when the lights are on. Not because it looks good — though it does — but because that is the hour a house is lived in.
Journal
Notes from the agency, written by the agents. On light, prices, and the ninety days after a home goes on the market.
