INAKY STRICK

As a dedicated realtor serving buyers and sellers throughout the Central Texas and New Braunfels area, Inaky Strick takes relationship-building quite seriously. His main goal, no matter the transaction size or type, is to crush his clients’ goals and exceed their expectations. He comes prepared with proven systems and a strong network of support staff ready to facilitate seamless experiences.

Inaky’s experience working with builders, spec homes, developments, and luxury residential property continues to benefit clients at all levels. A natural-born connector with great appreciation for different cultures, Inaky says he feels rewarded every time he’s able to help someone through what is often the biggest and most important decision of their life. Inaky is also a certified negotiation expert who routinely produces win-win results at closing. He’s proud to offer his services in both Spanish and English. Born in Mexico City, Inaky moved to The Woodlands, Texas when he was 12. He considers his mom to be his biggest inspiration for raising him and his younger sister on her own while building a successful career as one of Mexico City’s top nutritionists. Inaky graduated from the McCoy College of Business at Texas State University before earning his license to sell real estate in Houston. A strategic move to the Caribbean would allow Inaky to expand his knowledge of off-shore real estate developments as Business Development Manager for the first and largest luxury-branded resort in Belize. While marketing and selling units to prestigious clients, Inaky also helped foster the business relationship between resort principals and American entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuck.

Inaky’s next role would be with a private real estate investment firm as the director of investor relations raising capital for large development projects—an experience that continues to inform his work today. He has since worked for several large national and international real estate firms serving the Texas market where he’s consistently ranked among top-performing area agents. Along with his professional accomplishments in real estate, Inaky is the author of an Amazon #1 best-selling book called The One Thing That Changed Everything. He’s a member of New Braunfels Jaycee and the New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce. When he’s not helping clients or serving the community, Inaky enjoys traveling, scuba diving, and snowboarding.

Branding & Identity

Kuper Creative will craft an engaging brand strategy, messaging, and product positioning utilizing input from the developer and the sales team and incorporating their insights on target buyer demographics.

Naming & Brand Identity Exploration of various names and logo design directions, a final logomark in color and B&W formats that will work across multiple platforms will be provided. Graphic Guidelines Development of easy to follow design details on logo application, usages, color palettes, supporting typefaces and complementary graphic elements

Positioning Development of overall key messaging concepts incorporated throughout marketing materials including any relevant taglines for the project.

Web Presence

Websites serve as the primary channel that prospective buyers use to interact with a project. A well-designed website not only provides vital information but incites curiosity and drives a deeper connection with the lifestyle offering. Kuper Creative will develop an engaging website with optimized navigation, programming, and functionality.

Website Technology Details The site will be developed utilizing industry best practices, functioning on all devices, and will feature responsive web design providing optimal imaging across a variety of devices, windows and screen sizes.

Renderings & 3D Animation

3D Renderings can express the highest level of emotion and detail about a project. Kuper Creative’s ultra-realistic renderings stand apart from others in their intensity, fidelity, and story-telling. Kuper Creative crafts renderings that reveal the true nature of the project’s brand and lifestyle.

High-impact animations provide a tangible, illustrative vision of the project. Each high-fidelity animation scene includes multiple camera angles of the space providing the feeling of a 3D walkthrough.

Photography & Videography

Beyond renderings, actual photography and videography can be impactful for a project in many ways. When the product is at a stage to be photographed, Kuper Creative can coordinate professional photography and video shoots to capture the project.

In addition to that, it’s also important to utilize photography and videography to capture the lifestyle in and around the project. Oftentimes, an engaging video highlighting the area and its amenities can help to capture what it would be like to truly live there.

Social Media Management

Our Social Media program brings your development to the next level. It is imperative for a development to use social media in marketing their project and their lifestyle as it is a medium to connect to the community and reach new clients. While any project can have a social media account, it’s not always clear how to use social media as a tool to send the right message to the right people at the right time, and it’s not always easy to keep your pages up to date. Kuper Creative’s social media management program can offer a solution for the three most important social media channels for developments—Facebook, Instagram, and Linkedin—that combines curated content for the development in tandem with specific project updates to create robust, evergreen profiles

Graphic Design

Each development project is unique, and because of that Kuper Creative is equipped to execute creative projects of varying degrees.

BROCHURES A concise project presentation including information on the project, location, floor plans, services, amenities, and the team can be customized for the project.

E-MARKETING An e-blast serves as an informative digital touch-point that keeps the property top-ofmind for prospective buyers and brokers. Each e-blast provides details on a specific element of the property as a stand alone collateral piece, yet collectively they provide a broader engaging narrative. Custom digital newsletter campaigns can also be created.

DIRECT MAIL Direct mail delivers the strongest return on investment for customer acquisition for B2C marketers. Kuper Creative can design stand-out postcards and other direct mail items to be sent to curated lists of potential buyers.

ADVERTISEMENTS A strong ad campaign can evoke curiosity and interest in a property. Kuper Creative will craft a compelling ad campaign that highlights the property’s key attributes and provides strong messaging and positioning to prospective buyers across channels.

Public Relations

Kuper Creative can employ a professional public relations strategy to gain exposure in targeted media outlets for prospective buyers to learn about the development. The objective of a custom PR plan is to promote the project to local, national, and, if appropriate, international publications that spotlight luxury real estate. Utilizing our local PR professional, along with the public relations team at Sotheby’s International Realty and the Texas Newswire, will ensure the news of the project reaching all relevant media partners.

Event Management

Well-executed events can be one of the most effective ways to market a development. Kuper Creative’s extensive experience in event management will ensure that every step from conceptualization, promotion, and execution of an event will be successful. We can create experiences both big and small, from private functions for 25 to extravagant celebrations with hundreds of attendees.

Exclusive Digital Marketing Outlets

While we’ve always been able to quickly adapt to our changing world and industry, robust digital marketing has been the cornerstone of our strategy for years. 90% of home buyers begin searching for their home online, so it’s essential for Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty to have access to digital outlets to promote our listings.

VIRTUAL REAL ESTATE SOLUTIONS

3D Property Tours

Our 360 VR capture system renders a listing’s interiors as 3D models, which you can walk through and look around in an immersive virtual reality environment. These tours create a photorealistic experience of a property, while leveraging the 3D data to give viewers a sense of physical presence—creating the feeling of truly being in the space.

Immersive Listing Video

Homebuyers are engaging with video in every element of their online experience—websites, social networks, and on their TVs. Research tells us that the longer someone is on a website, the more likely they are to inquire about a property. Video provides a truly immersive and engaging experience for the consumer unlike a photo ever could.

Virtual Staging

With virtual home staging, we can inspire buyers and help them better imagine their future home, all while standing out from the monotony of the competition. In fact, 83% of buyer’s agents say staging made it easier for their client to visualize the property as their home.

Kuper Ad Intelligence

We utilize artificial intelligence and big data in social media advertising to drive qualified potential buyers to homes showcased on our website. Properties on kuperrealty.com are automatically advertised on social media through our Kuper Ad Intelligence program. This powerful platform identifies people who are searching specifically for your type of home and shows them your property’s ad. Kuper Ad Intelligence collects and analyzes all that data in real time so we can show your property to the people most likely to buy it right now.

Engaging E-Marketing

“E-blast” is another word to describe a digital flyer that is sent out online to targeted e-mail addresses in order to advertise your new listing. E-blasts allow us to advertise your property to a large number of qualified agents and potential buyers, all while highlighting things like video, virtual tours, and professional photography in a beautiful and compelling way.

Virtual Showings

The demand for video and chat software has increased exponentially to ensure a potential buyer is able to effectively view and evaluate the home even if they can’t physically be there. Our agents are skilled in the top platforms that can execute virtual showings for all of our clients.
