First off, I don't know a thing about this kind of shoot so......
At 3 meg per image and my dialup connection I don't have the time to download the full images but one thing I noticed was that your camera was obviously not level in some images. The lines of the house are crooked. Also there is some serious distortion of the man where you had the camera too close to him for the lens you were using. He looks rather bloated. Maybe if you got your camera angle higher, you could get all of the house and the salesman in the shot. The lines of the house would show keystoning and your salesman may appear to have a slightly enlarged head (if you get close to him) but I think people are used to seeing that kind of shot. Climb up on the hood of his car for a couple of shots.
Also there are a couple of shots with his head squarely between the windows of the house. To me it makes the windows look like eyes and his head turns into a nose.
When I looked at the first page of thumbs with no 'for sale' sign in them I thought 'where's the for sale sign'. I don't want to know that this guy is going to make a fortune off me if he sells my house but his being able to sell a home like that might be good. I would prefer to see his cheesy sign in the shot if the shot is intended to drum up business for him.
About the shadows in the eyes, on a day like that I suppose fill flash is all you can do. I would prefer a reflector on a sunny day though.

I finally took some pictures over the weekend. > http://www.regeti.com/gallery/webdoyle
After I took the pictures I realised that I could have done much better especially with the shadows in his eyes.
Based on your feedback may be I can try again. > thanks, -regeti-
