Thought Leaders – Real Estate Re-imagined (formerly The Elevate Podcast) The art of storytelling and building deeper relationships with Valerie Garcia
Over the last month, marketing in real estate has changed dramatically. In a world where emotions are amplified and compassion is key, it’s clear we now need to be able to connect with other humans in a completely different way.
Valerie Garcia has been involved in the real estate industry for the past 22 years, including time working for Belle Property in Australia. Working now in Canada and North America, she has changed business focus to consulting, speaking and real estate education.
Valerie is renowned for social media content creation, marketing through storytelling – and also and her monthly newsletter “In the Rear View Mirror”.
In this podcast we are going to take a look why now is the best time in history to start an email newsletter and how to build subscribers. We also take a look at the process that underpins the creation of Valerie’s own successful newsletter – and the tools she uses to curate content.
