You said: make this sound mellow and organize it proffesionally- Also I know buyer gets to pick closing agent, but in this case due to the manifestation and the property being sold by the beneficieries if there is a way to close in TACX Closing attournys it would be beneficaial would just streamline the legal process ChatGPT said: Also, I understand that the buyer ultimately chooses the closing agent. However, given that this sale involves a succession/manifestación process and the property is being sold by the beneficiaries, it may be more efficient to close through TACX Closing Attorneys. Using the same legal team could help streamline the process and avoid unnecessary duplication of work. You said: take out same legal team just leave it as closing agents ChatGPT said: Also, I understand that the buyer ultimately chooses the closing agent. However, given that this sale involves a succession/manifestación process and the property is being sold by the beneficiaries, it may be more efficient to close through TACX Closing Attorneys, as this could help streamline the legal process. You said: succession/manifestación what does succesion mean in this scenario ChatGPT said: In this context, succession means the legal process of transferring ownership of a property after the original owner has passed away. So in your scenario: The property was owned by someone who is now deceased. Their heirs or beneficiaries do not automatically “own” the property yet in legal terms. A legal process called succession must be completed to officially recognize the heirs as the new legal owners. In Mexico, this usually involves: Proving the death of the owner Identifying the legal heirs/beneficiaries Transferring title into the heirs’ names (often through a notary and court or notarial process) Once succession is completed, the beneficiaries can legally sell the property. Manifestación often refers to formal declarations or filings made during this process—basically paperwork where the heirs “manifest” (declare) their rights and intentions as part of settling the estate. You said: Uploaded image I am making a magazine ad for LŌK∆HI properties, I am adding a picture of my face in the corner adn want a good real estate tag line to add to it. Can you give me one thats on brand and also is it ok I am using a surf photo? BUt I want to be sure they knwo from the tag I do real estate ChatGPT said: Yes—using a surf photo is totally on brand for you and for Baja. It communicates lifestyle, freedom, movement, and “Break Free” energy instantly. As long as your tagline clearly anchors it to real estate, it works beautifully. You just want the words to do the clarifying. Here are some tagline options that keep the vibe but make it unmistakably real estate: Strong + Clear Live the Wave. Own the Baja. Baja Living. Real Estate, Curated. Lifestyle First. Real Estate Second to None. Surf the Lifestyle. Secure the Property. On-Brand with LŌK∆HI Break Free. Buy Baja. Curated Baja Real Estate. Independent by Design. Real Estate by Choice. Baja Without the Bullshit. Real Estate That’s Real. More Boutique / Magazine-Style Where Lifestyle Meets Real Estate. Your Life in Baja Starts with the Right Property. From Waves to Keys—We Handle the Move. Not Just Baja. Yours. If your face is in the corner, you could add: Becki Meier — Baja Sur Real Estate Becki Meier | Curated Baja Real Estate So yes—the surf image works. The tagline just needs to say clearly: This is lifestyle—but I sell property. You said: IS it bad to have my photo in sunglasses and a sunhat? ChatGPT said: No—it’s not “bad,” but it changes the message. Sunglasses + sunhat says: Relaxed Lifestyle-forward Baja local Approachable, not corporate Which actually fits your brand really well. The only trade-off: You lose some facial connection (eyes build trust) It leans more “lifestyle brand” than “traditional agent” So it works best if: Your name is clear and readable “Real Estate” is stated in text The photo is high quality, clean, and confident (not touristy or sloppy) If you want to split the difference: Keep the sunhat Consider lighter or lifted sunglasses where your eyes are still somewhat visible Bottom line: For LŌK∆HI and Baja? Sunglasses and sunhat = on brand. Just make sure the words do the professional anchoring. You said: Uploaded image is this a better head shot? ChatGPT said: Yes—this is a stronger headshot than sunglasses + hat for trust and connection. Why this one works well: Your eyes are clear and expressive → builds trust fast Feels confident, real, and human Works well for magazine, website, and “about me” placements Balances professional with authentic (not stiff or corporate) What it communicates: Approachable Self-assured Not trying too hard Boutique, not big-box brokerage How I’d use them: Surf photo = main lifestyle image for the ad This headshot = corner inset or secondary image with your name + “Baja Sur Real Estate” That combo gives you: Lifestyle + Credibility Freedom + Trust Brand + You You said: is there anyway to make it more appealing? does it look like im naked? ChatGPT said: It’s a strong photo—but yes, as it is right now, it can read a little like you might be topless, even if you’re not. That’s just because: Bare shoulders + tight crop = ambiguous context No visible clothing line or strap to anchor the frame That’s easy to fix without losing the vibe. How to make it more appealing + magazine-ready: 1. Add visual “clothing context” Crop slightly lower so a strap, neckline, or edge of a top is visible Or overlay your name/title near the bottom to visually “ground” the image 2. Soften the contrast The black-and-white is striking, but slightly lowering contrast or adding a hint of warmth will make it feel more inviting and less stark 3. Clean up distractions Blur or crop out background clutter (like hanging clothes or hard lines) Simple background = more professional look 4. Minor retouching only Light skin smoothing Soften under-eye shadows Keep texture—you don’t want it to look fake Quick verdict: Is it a good headshot? Yes. Does it risk looking like you’re naked? Slightly, to some viewers. Can it be fixed? Totally—just show a hint of clothing or frame it with text. Once it has that visual anchor, it’ll read as: Confident. Real. Boutique. Professional. You said: **3\. Clean up distractions** * Blur or crop out background clutter (like hanging clothes or hard lines) * Simple background = more professional look **4\. Minor retouching only** * Light skin smoothing * Soften under-eye shadows * Keep texture—you don’t want it to look fake can you do this?

ChatGPT said: Image created • Blonde woman with a warm smile Generated image Generated image Generated image Share You said: Real Estate, Curated. do this with a dash in it instead of the comma ChatGPT said: Change it to: Real Estate – Curated. (or if you want the simpler keyboard dash:) Real Estate - Curated. You said: does this work? ChatGPT said: Yes—it works. Using a dash instead of a comma makes it feel more intentional and more editorial. “Real Estate – Curated.” reads as: Boutique Confident Magazine-ready On brand for LŌK∆HI It’s clean, modern, and clearly says what you do—without sounding salesy. You said: does this work? This is Real Estate – Curated. ChatGPT said: Yes—it works, but here’s the nuance: “This is Real Estate – Curated.” Feels: Slightly more conversational A bit more campaign-style Less timeless than the shorter version If this is a magazine ad or something you’ll reuse a lot, I’d rank them: Real Estate – Curated. → most elegant, timeless This is Real Estate – Curated. → more voice-driven, campaign vibe Real Estate, Curated. → softer, less punchy So yes, it works—but if you want maximum polish and longevity, stick with: Real Estate – Curated. You said: if I have it under "your life in baja starts with the right property. ChatGPT said: That pairing works really well. “Your life in Baja starts with the right property.” sets the emotion and the dream. Putting under it: Real Estate – Curated. anchors it in what you actually do. Together they read as: Lifestyle → then clarity. If you use: “Your life in Baja starts with the right property.” This is Real Estate – Curated. That version feels more like a campaign line—slightly louder. But for a magazine layout, the cleanest and most elevated stack is: Your life in Baja starts with the right property. Real Estate – Curated. You said: Edited image can you do a black background ChatGPT said: Image created • Your life in Baja begins here Generated image Generated imageGenerated image Generated imageGenerated image Share You said: no type under it ChatGPT said: Image created • Radiant smile on a dark backdrop Generated image Generated imageGenerated image Generated imageGenerated image Share You said: make this proffesional for a clietn that just blew me off- Glad you like it!

ChatGPT said: Asking: $1,690,000 Offer: $1,175,000 Difference: $515,000 Percentage off asking 515 , 000 ÷ 1 , 690 , 000 = 0.3041 515,000÷1,690,000=0.3041 ≈ 30.4% below asking Halfway meeting point Half the gap: 515 , 000 ÷ 2 = 257 , 500 515,000÷2=257,500 Asking minus half the gap: 1 , 690 , 000 – 257 , 500 = 1 , 432 , 500 1,690,000–257,500=1,432,500 Halfway price: $1,432,500 You said: Give me a draft of the stratagy to counter this offer with going in at 15% below asking and splitting the difference, given the market this year, these are clients who own here and are versed with buying in mexico, finding buyers in this climate for properties over 1M if we pass on this we may be waiting another year for another offer realistiaclly ChatGPT said: Counter Strategy Draft Given where the market is this year—especially for properties priced over $1M—I think the smartest move is to counter, not dismiss. Here’s the logic: The offer is about 30% below asking, which is aggressive. I suggest countering at 15% below asking, which puts us at $1,436,500. That’s also essentially a split-the-difference position and shows you’re willing to engage without giving the property away. Why this makes sense: These buyers own here already and understand Mexico—they’re not tire-kickers. Getting qualified buyers at this price point right now is not easy. If we pass entirely, it’s realistic that it could take another year to see a similar offer. Countering keeps you in control while still testing how serious they really are. So the strategy would be: Counter at 15% below asking. Frame it as fair, market-aware, and realistic for today’s conditions. If they move again, you’re now in a true negotiation instead of starting from zero. This keeps you strong, flexible, and positioned for a deal—without overreacting to a low first offer. You said: take out low offer at end and more logic based on surrounding properties at this price opoint on the market that are sitting over a year ChatGPT said: Counter Strategy Draft Given the market this year—especially for properties priced over $1M—the smartest move is to counter rather than walk away. The offer came in about 30% below asking. I suggest countering at 15% below asking, which puts us at $1,436,500. That position is essentially splitting the difference and shows you’re open to working toward a deal without overcorrecting. Why this makes sense: Properties in this price range across the area are sitting for long periods—many well over a year—without meaningful movement. Buyer activity above $1M has been slow and selective, not fast or emotional. These buyers already own in Mexico and understand the process, which makes them more qualified and less speculative. Waiting for a new buyer at this level could realistically take another year in this climate. Countering now keeps momentum and tests real buying power in today’s market. Strategy: Counter at 15% below asking. Position it as a fair, market-aware number based on current conditions. Stay engaged and see where they truly land once both sides are negotiating. You said: Why this makes sense: * Properties in this price range across the area are sitting for long periods—many well over a year—without meaningful movement. * Buyer activity above $1M has been slow and selective, not fast or emotional. * These buyers already own in Mexico and understand the process, which makes them more qualified and less speculative. * Waiting for a new buyer at this level could realistically take another year in this climate. * Countering now keeps momentum and tests real buying power in today’s market. add in I know they already are ready to move on two other listings if this doesnt work, they have visited the property multiple times and the remodel and rework they would like to do on the house this makes the most sence to them, I think we should engage in this offer ChatGPT said: Counter Strategy Draft Given the market this year—especially for properties priced over $1M—the smartest move is to counter rather than walk away.

You said: On Canva how to get my download from 261 dpi to 300 dpi? ChatGPT said: In Canva, you can’t directly type in a DPI number, but you can get to 300 DPI by exporting at higher resolution. Here’s how: Open your design in Canva. Click Share (top right). Click Download. Choose file type: For print: select PDF Print (best option) Or PNG (but you’ll need to scale it up) If using PDF Print: Turn on Crop marks and bleed only if your printer needs it. Download — this exports at 300 DPI for print. If using PNG: Move the Size slider all the way to the right (2x or max). Download — this increases pixel density to effectively hit 300 DPI depending on size. Important: DPI only matters relative to final print size. Example: If your image is 3000 × 2400 pixels, it’s 300 DPI at 10 × 8 inches. So the safest answer for print: Download as PDF Print = 300 DPI output.

You said: make this sound mellow and organize it proffesionally- Also I know buyer gets to pick closing agent, but in this case due to the manifestation and the property being sold by the beneficieries if there is a way to close in TACX Closing attournys it would be beneficaial would just streamline the legal process ChatGPT said: Also, I understand that the buyer ultimately chooses the closing agent. However, given that this sale involves a succession/manifestación process and the property is being sold by the beneficiaries, it may be more efficient to close through TACX Closing Attorneys. Using the same legal team could help streamline the process and avoid unnecessary duplication of work. You said: take out same legal team just leave it as closing agents ChatGPT said: Also, I understand that the buyer ultimately chooses the closing agent. However, given that this sale involves a succession/manifestación process and the property is being sold by the beneficiaries, it may be more efficient to close through TACX Closing Attorneys, as this could help streamline the legal process. You said: succession/manifestación what does succesion mean in this scenario ChatGPT said: In this context, succession means the legal process of transferring ownership of a property after the original owner has passed away. So in your scenario: The property was owned by someone who is now deceased. Their heirs or beneficiaries do not automatically “own” the property yet in legal terms. A legal process called succession must be completed to officially recognize the heirs as the new legal owners. In Mexico, this usually involves: Proving the death of the owner Identifying the legal heirs/beneficiaries Transferring title into the heirs’ names (often through a notary and court or notarial process) Once succession is completed, the beneficiaries can legally sell the property. Manifestación often refers to formal declarations or filings made during this process—basically paperwork where the heirs “manifest” (declare) their rights and intentions as part of settling the estate. You said: Uploaded image I am making a magazine ad for LŌK∆HI properties, I am adding a picture of my face in the corner adn want a good real estate tag line to add to it. Can you give me one thats on brand and also is it ok I am using a surf photo? BUt I want to be sure they knwo from the tag I do real estate ChatGPT said: Yes—using a surf photo is totally on brand for you and for Baja. It communicates lifestyle, freedom, movement, and “Break Free” energy instantly. As long as your tagline clearly anchors it to real estate, it works beautifully. You just want the words to do the clarifying. Here are some tagline options that keep the vibe but make it unmistakably real estate: Strong + Clear Live the Wave. Own the Baja. Baja Living. Real Estate, Curated. Lifestyle First. Real Estate Second to None. Surf the Lifestyle. Secure the Property. On-Brand with LŌK∆HI Break Free. Buy Baja. Curated Baja Real Estate. Independent by Design. Real Estate by Choice. Baja Without the Bullshit. Real Estate That’s Real. More Boutique / Magazine-Style Where Lifestyle Meets Real Estate. Your Life in Baja Starts with the Right Property. From Waves to Keys—We Handle the Move. Not Just Baja. Yours. If your face is in the corner, you could add: Becki Meier — Baja Sur Real Estate Becki Meier | Curated Baja Real Estate So yes—the surf image works. The tagline just needs to say clearly: This is lifestyle—but I sell property. You said: IS it bad to have my photo in sunglasses and a sunhat? ChatGPT said: No—it’s not “bad,” but it changes the message. Sunglasses + sunhat says: Relaxed Lifestyle-forward Baja local Approachable, not corporate Which actually fits your brand really well. The only trade-off: You lose some facial connection (eyes build trust) It leans more “lifestyle brand” than “traditional agent” So it works best if: Your name is clear and readable “Real Estate” is stated in text The photo is high quality, clean, and confident (not touristy or sloppy) If you want to split the difference: Keep the sunhat Consider lighter or lifted sunglasses where your eyes are still somewhat visible Bottom line: For LŌK∆HI and Baja? Sunglasses and sunhat = on brand. Just make sure the words do the professional anchoring. You said: Uploaded image is this a better head shot? ChatGPT said: Yes—this is a stronger headshot than sunglasses + hat for trust and connection. Why this one works well: Your eyes are clear and expressive → builds trust fast Feels confident, real, and human Works well for magazine, website, and “about me” placements Balances professional with authentic (not stiff or corporate) What it communicates: Approachable Self-assured Not trying too hard Boutique, not big-box brokerage How I’d use them: Surf photo = main lifestyle image for the ad This headshot = corner inset or secondary image with your name + “Baja Sur Real Estate” That combo gives you: Lifestyle + Credibility Freedom + Trust Brand + You You said: is there anyway to make it more appealing? does it look like im naked? ChatGPT said: It’s a strong photo—but yes, as it is right now, it can read a little like you might be topless, even if you’re not. That’s just because: Bare shoulders + tight crop = ambiguous context No visible clothing line or strap to anchor the frame That’s easy to fix without losing the vibe. How to make it more appealing + magazine-ready: 1. Add visual “clothing context” Crop slightly lower so a strap, neckline, or edge of a top is visible Or overlay your name/title near the bottom to visually “ground” the image 2. Soften the contrast The black-and-white is striking, but slightly lowering contrast or adding a hint of warmth will make it feel more inviting and less stark 3. Clean up distractions Blur or crop out background clutter (like hanging clothes or hard lines) Simple background = more professional look 4. Minor retouching only Light skin smoothing Soften under-eye shadows Keep texture—you don’t want it to look fake Quick verdict: Is it a good headshot? Yes. Does it risk looking like you’re naked? Slightly, to some viewers. Can it be fixed? Totally—just show a hint of clothing or frame it with text. Once it has that visual anchor, it’ll read as: Confident. Real. Boutique. Professional. You said: **3\. Clean up distractions** * Blur or crop out background clutter (like hanging clothes or hard lines) * Simple background = more professional look **4\. Minor retouching only** * Light skin smoothing * Soften under-eye shadows * Keep texture—you don’t want it to look fake can you do this?

(or if you want the simpler keyboard dash:) Real Estate - Curated. You said: does this work? ChatGPT said: Yes—it works. Using a dash instead of a comma makes it feel more intentional and more editorial. “Real Estate – Curated.” reads as: Boutique Confident Magazine-ready On brand for LŌK∆HI It’s clean, modern, and clearly says what you do—without sounding salesy. You said: does this work? This is Real Estate – Curated. ChatGPT said: Yes—it works, but here’s the nuance: “This is Real Estate – Curated.” Feels: Slightly more conversational A bit more campaign-style Less timeless than the shorter version If this is a magazine ad or something you’ll reuse a lot, I’d rank them: Real Estate – Curated. → most elegant, timeless This is Real Estate – Curated. → more voice-driven, campaign vibe Real Estate, Curated. → softer, less punchy So yes, it works—but if you want maximum polish and longevity, stick with: Real Estate – Curated. You said: if I have it under "your life in baja starts with the right property. ChatGPT said: That pairing works really well. “Your life in Baja starts with the right property.” sets the emotion and the dream. Putting under it: Real Estate – Curated. anchors it in what you actually do. Together they read as: Lifestyle → then clarity. If you use: “Your life in Baja starts with the right property.” This is Real Estate – Curated. That version feels more like a campaign line—slightly louder. But for a magazine layout, the cleanest and most elevated stack is: Your life in Baja starts with the right property. Real Estate – Curated.

Here’s the logic: The offer is about 30% below asking, which is aggressive. I suggest countering at 15% below asking, which puts us at $1,436,500. That’s also essentially a split-the-difference position and shows you’re willing to engage without giving the property away. Why this makes sense: These buyers own here already and understand Mexico—they’re not tire-kickers. Getting qualified buyers at this price point right now is not easy. If we pass entirely, it’s realistic that it could take another year to see a similar offer. Countering keeps you in control while still testing how serious they really are. So the strategy would be: Counter at 15% below asking. Frame it as fair, market-aware, and realistic for today’s conditions. If they move again, you’re now in a true negotiation instead of starting from zero. This keeps you strong, flexible, and positioned for a deal—without overreacting to a low first offer. You said: take out low offer at end and more logic based on surrounding properties at this price opoint on the market that are sitting over a year ChatGPT said: Counter Strategy Draft Given the market this year—especially for properties priced over $1M—the smartest move is to counter rather than walk away. The offer came in about 30% below asking. I suggest countering at 15% below asking, which puts us at $1,436,500. That position is essentially splitting the difference and shows you’re open to working toward a deal without overcorrecting. Why this makes sense: Properties in this price range across the area are sitting for long periods—many well over a year—without meaningful movement. Buyer activity above $1M has been slow and selective, not fast or emotional. These buyers already own in Mexico and understand the process, which makes them more qualified and less speculative. Waiting for a new buyer at this level could realistically take another year in this climate. Countering now keeps momentum and tests real buying power in today’s market. Strategy: Counter at 15% below asking. Position it as a fair, market-aware number based on current conditions. Stay engaged and see where they truly land once both sides are negotiating. You said: Why this makes sense: * Properties in this price range across the area are sitting for long periods—many well over a year—without meaningful movement. * Buyer activity above $1M has been slow and selective, not fast or emotional. * These buyers already own in Mexico and understand the process, which makes them more qualified and less speculative. * Waiting for a new buyer at this level could realistically take another year in this climate. * Countering now keeps momentum and tests real buying power in today’s market. add in I know they already are ready to move on two other listings if this doesnt work, they have visited the property multiple times and the remodel and rework they would like to do on the house this makes the most sence to them, I think we should engage in this offer ChatGPT said: Counter Strategy Draft Given the market this year—especially for properties priced over $1M—the smartest move is to counter rather than walk away.

The offer is about 30% below asking. I suggest countering at 15% below asking, which would be $1,436,500. This essentially splits the difference and shows flexibility without overcorrecting. Why this makes sense: Properties in this price range are sitting for long periods—many over a year—without meaningful movement. Buyer activity above $1M is slow and selective. These buyers already own in Mexico and understand the process, which makes them more qualified and realistic. They have visited this property multiple times and have already discussed the remodel and changes they would like to make—this home clearly makes the most sense to them. They are also prepared to move forward on two other listings if this doesn’t work. Waiting for a new buyer at this level could realistically take another year in this climate. Strategy Counter at $1,436,500 (15% below asking) Position it as a fair, market-aware response Stay engaged and see where they truly land once negotiation is active My honest opinion is that this is a serious buyer in a slow segment of the market, and I think we should engage with this offer strategically. Let me know your thoughts and how you’d like to proceed. Warmly, Becki You said: whats 20% asking of 1.69 ChatGPT said: 20% of $1,690,000 is: $338,000 So: 20% = $338,000 80% of asking (if you were pricing at 20% below) = $1,352,000 You said: My honest opinion is that this is a serious buyer in a slow segment of the market, and I think we should engage with this offer strategically. Given the house the updates and remodeling feedback from all showings, I think this is a very strong offer from a realistic understanding buyer who will allow us the flexibility we need with the manifestation timeline and looks like we can get funds released to pay for the manifestation from the escrow initial deposit. - Make this sound better ChatGPT said: My honest opinion is that this is a serious buyer in a slow segment of the market, and I think we should engage with this offer strategically. Given the feedback from all showings—especially around the updates and remodeling the home would benefit from—this is a strong offer from a buyer who clearly understands the market. They are realistic, experienced, and willing to allow the flexibility we need around the manifestation timeline, and it also appears we can use the initial escrow deposit to help fund the manifestation process. You said: On Canva how to get my download from 261 dpi to 300 dpi? ChatGPT said: In Canva, you can’t directly type in a DPI number, but you can get to 300 DPI by exporting at higher resolution. Here’s how: Open your design in Canva. Click Share (top right). Click Download. Choose file type: For print: select PDF Print (best option) Or PNG (but you’ll need to scale it up) If using PDF Print: Turn on Crop marks and bleed only if your printer needs it. Download — this exports at 300 DPI for print. If using PNG: Move the Size slider all the way to the right (2x or max). Download — this increases pixel density to effectively hit 300 DPI depending on size. Important: DPI only matters relative to final print size. Example: If your image is 3000 × 2400 pixels, it’s 300 DPI at 10 × 8 inches. So the safest answer for print: Download as PDF Print = 300 DPI output.
