Real Estate + Mortgage Integration: Why Fluente Is the Missing Link in AI-Driven Cross-Selling
AI will not transform real estate and mortgage independently. It will transform them together—if they share the same data environment.
Brokers, stop selling tech puffery. Start delivering real performance.
The best brokers aren’t selling software. They’re selling simplicity. They remove friction. They make technology usable. And they’re the first call when an agent wants to get better.
NAR Midyear: Political advocacy using AI on your smartphone?
At this year’s NAR Legislative Meetings, well-known REALTOR®, educator, and author Marki Lemons Ryhal offered a new way to use artificial intelligence as a political advocacy engine. She reframed this unconventional use of AI by giving practical examples for brokers, agents, and association staff to engage with AI in scaling their influence. If you’ve been thinking of AI strictly as a marketing or productivity tool, here’s another reason to think outside the standard AI box. Use your content to drive engagement One strategy is deceptively simple: combine a strong call-to-action with your tone and let AI scale it. She [...]
AI is becoming the Rosetta Stone for real estate data and value insights
As a data junkie, I've often wondered why, in a data-rich industry like real estate, do so many decisions still rely on incomplete or inconsistent information? The answer lies not in a lack of data but in our inability to apply the resources necessary to see what the data shows. That’s where artificial intelligence is beginning to usher in a new era of insight. AI’s most transformative role in our industry may not be content creation, automation, or even marketing. It’s interpretation. It’s AI’s ability to extract, clarify, and illuminate the hidden signals in data that the human eye either [...]
How do you get potential sellers to move off the fence?
Americans are sitting on a record $17 trillion in home equity in the US. According to Cotality, the average homeowner has over $300,000 in wealth locked up in their homes. What if real estate agents could help their potential sellers see how they could increase their net proceeds by $100,000 or more? What if agents could reach out to past clients and "wow" them with a free AI tool that reveals how they can maximize the price of their home by leveraging the newest – and perhaps most powerful way – to sell a home? Research from the [...]

A New Report: Presale renovation is moving from niche to mainstay – and AI is leading the way
Most agents sat on the sidelines when virtual tours made their debut. Now, they are ubiquitous. Back in the mid to late 1990s, when virtual tours were primarily used for luxury listings, they felt clunky and slow, and often required buyers to download special browser plugins just to view a listing. I remember vividly IPIX and its 360 virtual tour tech at the first mainstream Inman Real Estate Connect at the San Francisco Hilton. It wowed the crowd but cost $1000 a tour. Most agents initially looked at virtual tours as a marketing gimmick until around 2010. Fast forward to [...]
ChatGPT unleashes the AI copyright beast with its new image powers
We've used ChatGPT and ChatGPT Teams to create much of the accompanying artwork for the more than 200 stories I’ve written for our REAL AI weekly newsletter. For a time, Midjourney was our image champ. Then, we discovered some tricks we could do with Canva's AI image generation tools. But now, it’s all ChatGPT: its image generation capabilities just leapfrogged the competition. Upload a photo to render a new image in almost every art style. Social media users are losing their minds over its ability to Studio Ghibli-style capabilities. The demand on ChatGPT has been so massive that its leader [...]
