ok...

- i'd lose the giant bgimage... not only does it tile unfortunately, but 
your logo is integrated into, making it impossible to see if you have 
images turned off in any way...

- i'd pull the photo out of the bg as well... it will be pretty easy to 
slice that up into pieces to create that text wrap you want....

- doesn't fit in my 640x480...

- on the content pages, the bg doesn't line up right... it also doesn't 
match the identity or layout of the first page... not altogether a bad 
thing, but in this case there is no continuity with that opening 
page... it also tiles too soon...

- your sidenav text links are too dark on the plum...

- 'alt' attributes for the logo would be handy...

- on the agents page, the "we take pride" overlaps the plum... the 
green text (is that Impact?) doesn't even look like it should be on 
this site... Wendell's photo looks squished, and none of the other 
photos have consistent tones, lighting, anything... hell, making 
them all grayscale would be better... Joan's link is wrong... you 
really should tell me if a person's link will be email, this site, or 
another site... and make the pictures an anchor as well... all links 
from the sidebar open in a new window - why?

- the hot listings page appears to be broken... i can't even tell you 
why, but i see 5 frames with only the bottom one containing 
content (which is just more links)... feels like i left the site...

- dammit, bay city homes does the same thing, more frames... do 
you have permission to wrap your frame around their content?  if 
not, you've opened you and your client up to problems...

- what's with all the weird fonts i don't have?  Americana BT? Book 
Antiqua (ok, i have that one)?  no cascade like "arial,helvetica,sans-
serif"?  i think the code is pretty awful, but that's a function of the 
editor you've chosen...

- i wanna click on the map for a larger (legible) view...

ok, back to work... my 5 mins are up...
