One of the many reasons we like Active Rain is that there so many members that are treasures in the community.  As part of our strategic branding, marketing and business development practice, we are often asked to write brochures for properties (8-14 pages) as well as programs for the charitable events our clients host.

 

When we read our work, we tend to be blind to the errors, because we understand the intent of what is being said. We knew it was time to find a proofreader when our intention to use the word "medal" showed up as the correctly spelled word "metal".

 

On (3/21/18) on the Q&A section of Active Rain we asked this question: Can Anyone recommend an excellent proofreader? We would appreciate it. Thank You. 

 

On 3/22/18, we had this answer:

Kasey & John Boles
Jon Gosche Real Estate, LLC - BoiseMeridianRealEstate.com - Boise, ID
Boise & Meridian, ID Ada/Canyon/Gem/Boise Counties
 I am actually in the process of starting a freelance editing and proofreading service. I am working on my website right now and have been editing and proofreading for a publishing company for the last 7 months along with my broker duties. I would love to be your 'go to'. Feel free to email me at kaseyboles@gmail.com

 

We called Kasey.  We sent her several pieces of marketing that we had written to be proofread.  She did an outstanding job finding all kinds of errors that had slipped our scrutiny.  She literally lifted a big weight of our shoulders, and we could focus on the creative writing that was asked of us. 

 

We highly recommend Kasey!  She is a treasure to this community and anyone who values perfect text. We consider her to be one of our valued team members.

CAN YOU STATE HOW YOU ARE DIFFERENT AND BETTER THAN YOUR COMPETITION IN UNDER 30 SECONDS?

 

ABOUT:  Luxury Real Estate is a high stakes game. Commissions are substantial! We help luxury real estate professionals get to the listing table more often and win listings more frequently.  If you want to be the market leader, the personal or company brand that your target market thinks of first and refers most often, you need an Elevator Statement to accelerate the process.  We can get you there!

Your Elevator Statement is a succinct and persuasive summary of your extraordinary promise of value, your unique selling proposition.  In a time-starved world the attention span of your target market is shrinking.  To instantly convey what sets you apart from the crowd you need to be able to answer EACH ONE of these 3 questions in less than 30 seconds.: 1) What Do You Do?; 2)  How Do You Do It?, and;  3) How Are You Different?.  Can you state how you are different and better than your competition in under 30 seconds?

Watch the video above to see and hear how we do it.

Proofreading is difficult when it is your own copy...reading out .loud is a good idea in "checking your own work."
