Time Stamped Show Notes: 00:56 – Today’s guest is an amazing force in real estate with incredible social media and marketing skills 01:06 – “Pinky Knows Naples” is the name of her show 02:20 – Client story: Pinky loves using video for properties, her community, and everything in her life and appreciates constructing criticism 03:25 – During a walkthrough she told her artist-type client to be aware of her art and paint and how it may be perceived by potential buyers 05:36 – She and videographer still filmed the property and the client didn’t like it but didn’t provide constructive criticism 06:30 – She had held a viewing party of the 3-minute video and finally told Pinky that she thinks she “slouches too much” 07:45 – She doesn’t normally share that she had a chronic lung disease as a child that affects her posture, but she shared this with the client, apologizing if it affected the video 08:24 – Client then states that she looked like she was going to “fall out of her dress,” and there was some “old lady in the bathroom,” revealing that the “viewing party” was of multiple of her real estate videos 09:40 – That “old lady in the bathroom” was helping share the story of her home because she loved her bathroom and the vanity 10:30 – Pinky felt like the client was so critical and didn’t understand the concept, and they couldn’t work together because the client couldn’t be made happy and even wanted Pinky’s commission reduced if an offer was less than the asking price 11:50 – “How do I get comfortable in front of the camera?” 12:00 – Know that there will always be critical people and learn to laugh it off and move on 12:25 – There will always be more people who will appreciate what you do rather than critique it 12:40 – Suck it up and recognize their nastiness as a reflection of themselves, and just do you 13:09 – Ask the homeowner why they bought the house and what they love and make that a focal point 13:45 – Even if it’s the fact that there are two septic tanks, find a creative way to showcase it as a selling point: Are you “full of shit?” for example 15:33 – Contact Information: If you are looking for a creative marketer in Naples 15:42 – Website and on Facebook search “Pinky knows Naples” 3 Key Points Video is an excellent and creative way to tell a property’s story. There will always be critics – just do you. Always ask the owner what THEIR favorite part of the house is – then showcase it (unless it’s horrendous “art!”).   Credits Audio Production by Chris Mottram Show Notes provided by Melissa Valder Cover Design by Two Minds Design Original Music by Rimsky Music
