✦ Open it together. Make the conversation better.

Make it yours with ChatGPT or Claude — including PowerPoint

Copy the prompt below and paste it into your assistant with this page’s diagram.

Create an original real estate visual based on the idea on this page. First walk me through my choices: client audience, local context, colors, shapes, level of detail, and the questions I want to explain live. Preserve the important distinctions in the explanation. Then remake the visual from scratch in my chosen style, with a clear title, readable labels and the credit “Virtual Results Real Estate Publishing” linked to this page. Give me an editable diagram and a simple browser demo with pause and restart controls if motion adds value. Also create a PowerPoint version if your tools allow it; otherwise give me exact slide-by-slide instructions, including layout, speaker notes and a source slide. Use one overview slide, then one close-up slide for each decision or stage. Suggest two questions to ask clients while we review it together.
