Kim Rittberg 1:33Right today, we are talking about three easy videos that people will actually want to watch. And not just people, the buyers and sellers and potential clients. Hey, everyone, I'm Kim Rydberg. I'm an award winning video marketer. And I have my signature video bootcamp program that has seen so many agents come through. I love teaching agents like you how to grow your business with video because your phone right there is the most cost efficient way to market yourself. And the thing you need to do in 2024, if you haven't done it yet, you're not too late ish, sort of just kidding, but it's never too late. And I really want to focus today on the three videos that you can make easily that people will actually watch. And I don't mean that in a snarky way. But a lot of people are making videos that people don't watch and it ends up being frustrating. You're wasting your time you're wasting your money. So I'm gonna advise you on what videos you should make that will be fruitful that people will click on you will connect with people and then you will actually sell more houses. How did I get here, I have in the past year have spoken at the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices convention, the women's Real Estate Investment Summit. Before that, I was a TV news producer for 10 years writing and producing stories about all types of different topics. And I launched the first ever video unit for Us Weekly magazine, or to People Magazine, Netflix. What you need to know is that I love storytelling. And I really understand how to make good content that makes people want to buy from you. I shifted from journalism into branded content, which then brought me into real estate specifically, and I've had hundreds of agents across the country, take my video bootcamp course and work with me one on one to actually bring in clients. So I'm gonna sprinkle a little of that. Oh, and if you're on the video, you can see I got some trophies in the background because I've won some awards for my video work, but it's not about me. It's about you and how I can help you make some money. So one idea that actually I was it's on my list, I did my video bootcamp course I have a workbook that I give you all these great story prompts.

My name is DJ Paris, I am your guide and host through the show. And in just a moment, we're going to be speaking with Peter Hanson. But before we get to Peter, just a couple of quick reminders. Actually, I have something new to say. I normally say the same things every time but I have a new thing. So it was coming to my attention that via the different podcast apps that only about 300 of our 515 episodes show up that is a limitation of what's called an RSS feed. It's not we would love to have all of our episodes available. So we actually do but you're only going to see the top the most recent 300 in you know, whatever podcast app, you might be listening to us. And so if you want to actually go back further, and many people do, because the idea was to create this library of content that would really be applicable anytime. So I'd love for you to grieve and go back into the archives. Well, how do you do that? Well, you can go to our website, keeping it real pod.com every single episode we've ever done is there and that's probably the only place you can find all of them until they update technology and allow for more than 300 episodes to pass through a fee. But anyway, you guys can go to the website if you want to. We'd love to have you check out the website. We're very proud of it. And you can listen to every episode we've ever done. So thank you for that. Also, please leave us a review and tell a friend but let's get to the main event, my conversation with Peter Hanson. Today my guest is Peter Hanson with real broker in Quad Cities which if you're not familiar with the Quad Cities, this is what borders Illinois and Iowa there's four cities as as you might suspect, two on each side. This is like the northwest corner of Illinois, and the northeast corner of Iowa. But let me tell you more about Peter. Now after high school,

Again, this checklist has helped the agents on my crew on my ESP crew earn six figures in six months, making like three times the amount that they were making. Previously at other brokerages, it's so important to have a foundation, I'm not saying that you need to join me in order to make this happen. I'm saying you need to have a foundation and I'm giving it away to you. So if you want a copy of these checklists, here's the checklist to get a copy of the chocolates ready. Number one, give a five star review to keeping it real on this podcast that you're listening to. If you're watching this on YouTube, number two is like and comment below saying anything that you've learned, however, the slightest bit that this may have helped you. I know this is going to help you a lot. But any comment will help. And number three is text me for the checklist will meet its will meet over zoom. It's 520-341-2552. That's my work, phone number text the word checklist to that number checklists, by the way, being one word, text checklist 25203412552. If you'd rather hit me on Instagram, I'm Ally FBI agent. So let's begin last time I left off on the listing presentation. So let's assume we got the listing what to do. So from here, we're going to start on the pre list. Now, we're going to make sure that we have a copy of the keys, of course to all the screen doors, the detached ad, use the garage, you know any anything and everything, the front door, the back or the side door, the window, the sheds, everything, have make sure that the sellers have an extra copy. And the garage openers, it's they want to make sure that they I see that they keep it on their person. Because I just don't like I don't want to have to deal with any theft. So of course want to make sure that if they're going to be living in the property, make sure that they hide their valuables stored in the safe or just take it out of the house or take it out of the condo.
