Great job, Sarah! I love how you implemented a recently sold home into your video. The topic was light and added a great benefit to watching the video. The video ran just a little too long, stretching past the recommended 3 minute mark. There was a call to action at the end of the video, but that always goes best right after you state the point of the video. Keep up the great work, Sarah. We look forward to seeing more great content like this in the future!
