  less than 3 people.

  button on the toolbar.
• Google search PowerPoint templates for real
  estate

  slides.

• What are you going to say?
• Write your outline or find existing content. Your
  outline is the presentation. Use the notes area
  (not visible in the presentation) to elaborate on
  your bullet points.
• Some points to remember
• Market information is very powerful!
• Edit initial draft liberally for brevity. Respect
  their time!
• Design the presentation for your audience not
  for you!
• Commit the details to memory. The PowerPoint
  should not be your detailed script!

layout options. Most common title with bulleted
list, though there are many other layouts
available for your slides
To insert a photo Insert Picture From
File Choose the photo from your file system.

drawing object. If you have a slide layout with
a bulleted list, you have a text box. You can add
additional text boxes and place them where you
like on the slide. Click on the Text Box button
on the Drawing Toolbar.

• Editing Text Placeholders
• Text Editing (slash border) In the text
  editing mode, the border looks like slashes.
  Click on the text. The cursor will be flashing in
  a specific place among the text, so you can edit
  text character-by-character or word-by-word.
• Change the look of the entire text box (mesh
  border) Click on the border of the text box.
  The border changes slightly and looks something
  like a mesh border. This mode is for changing all
  the text at once, such as changing the font point
  size, text alignment, or text color. Notice you
  do not see the cursor when in this mode.
