Great job, Jeff! You're on point throughout the entire video with some very informative content. Your presentation is incredibly fluid and seems very well rehearsed, which leaves the viewer seeing you as being the expert in your market. You didn't have a call to action after you stated the point of your video, but you made up for it at the very end of the video with a really personal call to action and included a thank you to everyone that uses you for their real estate needs. Keep up the great work, Jeff. We look forward to more excellent content like this in the future!
