I like the direction you have gone with the text. Its very clean and easy to read. I eventually want to nationally brand this logo design so I want to stay away from palm trees and sunshine. I would like to change the colors as well. I do not like purple and orange together. Purple and gold are okay with the right design but the gold needs to look metalic.
remove the palm tree and sun. Change "real estate" to REALTY. Stretch the house on top from the D to the L. Change the Colors to Purple/Black, Gold/Black Thank you.
