I think you should blend the ads in there, remove the border In the Header - > www.myhometokeep.us doesn't look good , Remove it if you can
I would change the header photograph.. the image looks distorted and doesn't work well with the whole layout. An abstract background matching the color scheme would work better.
i agree with changing the picture, and also i think and abstract image or pattern with either a dark color to suite your site, or maybe a brighter color for contrast,
Looks more like the typical techie site than real estate. If you want to attract home buyers as users, who are generally a little bit older, maybe you should make the fonts bigger.
You are using a template that is quite nice and modern looking, but that "time" scheme does not work for real estate site. The colors are not too bad. The header graphics needs to be replaced. I'd even chose something lighter and more cheerful for a real estate site. You keep writing "sponsers" which has to be "sponsors". It really stands out. Also your "partner" links won't do you any good for your SEO at all. You want to keep ALL the content including external links stricktly on your topic. This is very important for your site ranking and your professional look for the customers. cheers, astra
The site and its header are nice, but there are too many heavy pictures there together on the same page, and the time in the background distracts the attention from the main content, it would be useful to remove the numbers completely from there and to let the background be just plain without any decorations.
