good morning good morning
this is diane bro i’m with my partner my
domestic partner randall bro yeah i’m
also her husband it’s a domestic part i
mean we sound like a dog yeah
you know it sounds cooler and hipper
like yeah the millennium domesticated
this is my domestic
partner yeah that’s right she’s a big
lady uh we’re realtors here in prescott
arizona correct bringing good jobs to
things that have to do with real estate
and life in general in the
thriving little town of prescott arizona
that’s right
our little lovely town so this is
something new we discovered and we had
so much fun we’re like oh my gosh where
was this technology we love love love
love this we were helping a client
uh they had a few little stucco repairs
that had to be done
and of course the stucco had been on
about five or six years so sometimes the
paint color outside will fade over time
and we were like how are we going to
match this paint now yeah you know
because it’s it’s faded
and uh
mr bro here found something really cool
at the paint store so you know the thing
about the house is the sun doesn’t hit
the house evenly yeah so not only
was the the color different than the
color that was in the can in the garage
because it had faded but it had faded
differently in different spots of the
home yes and so i had to match the color
and you know so you get the color
swatches
and i actually did really well i i
matched one part of the house very well
he did not so much on the other side
hard yeah i found this little uh this
little device you can get it at the
paint store which is the which one we
went to sherwood
shout out to sherlock mines yeah they
give great customer service they really
they really do they’ll help you to your
dying breath they’re like yeah they’ve
got a number of pain stores here in town
uh but i found that they are really very
they’re the best they’re very uh
proactive and really real estate agents
spend a lot of time
we’re not just showing you how much you
wouldn’t believe the other many caps
that we have yeah we wear a lot of caps
this is a color matcher so
yeah so there is a gadget they call it
uh smart scan
i’ll have to look up the name of it or
whatever but how much was it like ninety
dollars no well not even that i think i
paid maybe 60 70 bucks
for this little gadget that i connects
to your phone
uh through bluetooth i believe
and you you scan it and it will give you
the number of the closest
matching color that showroom williams um
sells it’s like a miracle really it
really is because we’re like i don’t
even know they don’t even have the
original paint to this house anymore
what are we supposed to do how can we
figure this out without having the house
look polka dotted yeah with the wrong
color paint and we discovered the guy
said you you should try this it’s this
little gadget and he was telling me
about the gadget and i’m thinking yeah
it’s going to be you know 500 or
something it’s not it’s not it’s amazing
it’s pretty easy to use if you’re not a
high-tech person you can hit us up we’ll
try to give you some guidance
but it’s not wasn’t that hard to figure
out yeah
you know not only is it good for man
that’s usually we’re matching pink
that’s usually what the issue is there’s
been a uh there’s been some sun
uh but let’s say you are decorating yep
and you have a pillow
that you love and you would like to
match
one of the colors in your floral pillow
and make a feature wall of that color
you know you can pick out one little
tiny spot on the pillow match that color
into a feature wall yeah so
from a design perspective is really
interesting uh what you can do in
matching colors so it’s an amazing
little gadget and not that expensive
and well worth it so for all of our
people moving here if you’re like you
know like what he said i want to change
the color of this wall and match it to
my new sofa or i want to do uh match the
existing color but i just need to touch
up a little area how do i find that this
is the gadget for you and sure williams
also has technology that allows you to
get sort of a
virtually paint a room to see what the
room would look like painted yeah that’s
cool too yeah i i played a little bit i
know less about that i have seen it
around
but yeah they’re doing some really cool
things with color so i’m sure
so if you’re moving here give us a call
and you want to do some painting and
you’re like tell me about that thing
again we’ll help you we’ll show you what
it looks like how it works
um it’s been very instrumental and
really saved a lot of expense and buying
gallons of paint that didn’t match and
then you got to go start over again
so uh something we learned and we wanted
to share this uh tip
i don’t know if it’s a design tip a
listing tip but i’m not gonna it’s all
of it but color matching can be a
powerful thing color matching can be a
beautiful powerful thing
there’s no denying it
having had to buy a 50 gallon of paint
and it didn’t match good match i wish i

been amazing
