You may want to try CSS to compress those images to an incredible optimized sized. From what I'm hearing CSS can do anything, including curing the common cold.

End your pain and get Photoshop. Photoshop CS will upgrade back to version 5. Get an old version on ebay for pennies, or a computer shows, then buy the upgrade for $169 and stop the madness.
Keep in mind that the more detail and contrast you have in your image the larger it will be. 27kb for the 300 ppi image you show is about right. Make it smaller, do not reduce the resolution. Reducing the resolution only reduces the file size marginally, and the quality a whole lot. Leave it at 300ppi and then reduce your image size. The cropping advice is good for reducing file size, but as a real estate agent, you might want to leave the image "open" to show the lot, etc.
Good luck!
Phil

Actually, gorilla, I was being totally facetious about CSS doing image manipulations. I know nothing about CSS and barely know how to spell it. I was posting my comment in jest, because it seems that somebody always points out that CSS is the only way to do things in web design.
Who woulda thunk it?

Perhaps you should have thunked of it 
- Many newbies come to Outfront. They're confused enough already. Between trying to show them how to do it properly, by which i mean showing them how to get a professional standard site with the minimum of effort, helping them fix their mistakes, and clearing up their misconceptions, Outfronters have enough on their plates already.
In general I have to agree with you, it always irks me when people who don't understand CSS witter on about it, and browbeat people who know marginally less than they do. They almost invariably drive their victims away from the whole idea of doing a website let alone learning how to do it to a good standard. Its not as if any of this is rocket science, but it is very fiddley to get it working, and to somebody new the concepts can be difficult.
Knowing what you're talking about, and using it to help others has IMO always been one of the hallmarks a professional approach.
Hope that clears it up, and, I hope this goes without saying, nothing personal.
I always jump hard on that particular misconception as (having checked my database) I have now replied to no less than 344 emails in the past 18 months from newbies who've tried this and been dismayed at the dreadful results.
Consider yourself as having been given a mollifying banan daquiri if that helps  But perhaps a litte bit more thought next time?
Thanks
