Help with Banner

I need some help, I am trying to come up with a acceptable looking banner. Nothing that totally draws all the attention from the site because it looks so incredibly awesome, but one that compliments the site well. I have one now, but I'm not sure if its good enought or not. I hate to obsess about it, but I can't settle on my own.

This Is The Page... (http://www.users.qwest.net/~broadmoorapts/compor.htm)

Does anyone have an opinion on it? What can I do better? What are some helpful hints? Keep in mind that I have never done any artistic or graphic designs in my life, so be gentle...:D

Thanks!

This thread would be more appropriate in the Graphics and Multimedia forum. (Just wait for a mod to move it tho; don't double post.)

So how is the feathering going?

The logo is good, you just need something on the right hand side to break up that blank space.

A house or a business, a for rent sign, something "real estate".

Slogan(s):

"Complete property Mangement"
"Professional Property Mangement"
