When it comes to real estate transactions, clients choose Karen Arbelaez because of her track record, experience and expertise in the frenetic Houston real estate market. She cites those same reasons for selecting DLA Editors & Proofers to help her with her marketing communication needs.
"I've been in this business for almost 15 years, so I know what I need to say to potential clients on both sides of the sales transaction," said Arbelaez. "But I wasn't great at translating those thoughts into compelling written content. I'd write down what I wanted to say, but the words on the page didn't always say what I had in mind. Then I met David."
David Lombardino is the founder of DLA Editors & Proofers, a Houston-based service that helps its clients with a variety of communication needs. Lombardino met Arbelaez when looking for a tenant for an investment property. "Karen was easy to get to know, but what stood out the most was her ability to assess our goals quickly and accurately, and develop an appropriate plan to achieve them," he recalled. "She found us a great tenant, who is still with us four years later. While we worked together, Karen and I both talked about our businesses, and Karen asked to see what we could do for her marketing communication."
DLA provided editing and consultation services for Arbelaez’s website content, personal bio and listing descriptions. "David and his team are so professional and have great insight into my business," she continued. "They didn't just tell me how to rewrite what I had written—they took the time to learn about my business in depth, my client base and how I like to work. Then they used that to make content suggestions. I have complete trust in DLA and couldn't be happier with the results."
