Profile photo on business cards?

[Account Closed]

I just filed for my LLC for real estate investing and it's effective on 1/1/2017. I have someone working on a logo for me and my next step is to order business cards....my guestion is should I put my profile photo on my business card like real estate agents do, or just use my logo with NO profile photo?

Hi Dee, you mentioned in the original post that you are using this card for investing and not for brokerage.  So I assume that you aren't using this business card to do brokerage business.

My opinion is to leave your photo off the card.  Most agents work for themselves or operate their own businesses so for them to have their picture on their card, it is fine.  An agent needs to sell themselves as being an individual to connect with their clients.

However, as an investor, you don't necessarily want to highlight that you are an individual, but rather a larger entity or organization.  

Lastly, I just think it is on the amateur side.  You don't find most of the big investors and developers with their pictures on their cards.
