Welcome back to the Rough Housing Podcast! Did you catch our intro? While the next few episodes were pre-filmed, trust us, they’re packed with incredible guests who deserve their spotlight. But we're also fired up to revamp things and return with Season 2 in 2025!

In this episode, co-host Justin Rourke sits down with special guest Vanessa Fallon, along with Bobby Curtis from One Wall Media and Donald Martin from SOLiD Real Estate Photography. Together, they dive into the world of real estate photography, its impact on the market, and why twilight shots are all the rage!

We’re here to cut through the puffery and guarded narcissism that often surrounds real estate. It's time to poke holes in those paper tigers and, most importantly, let’s talk some shit!
