NAR says REALTORS® do 179 different tasks – AI says it can do 110 of them
What if you could harness dozens of hours each month without cutting a single corner in your client service?

AI versus the checklist: What can be automated today NAR’s widely circulated list of 179 tasks that a REALTOR® may perform during a transaction is a powerful reminder of how comprehensive – and often irreplaceable – an agent’s role really is. But when you look at this list through the lens of [...]

Real estate reporters want relationships, not pitches. Are you listening?
What’s the most underrated skill in public relations today? It’s not mastering AI tools, or writing punchy subject lines, or even generating a buzz on social media. For the long game? It is relationships. Not the superficial, connect-and-forget kind built through mass emails or casual LinkedIn DMs. I’m talking about actual relationships. The kind that takes time, trust, consistency, and a deep understanding of the journalists we aim to work with; the kind built over years, not news cycles. The latest Cision One State of the Media survey, which gathered insights from over 3,000 journalists across 19 global markets, drives [...]
Real estate is suffering from AI misinformation
History repeated itself at Inman Connect San Diego this week. Once again, after sitting through AI session after AI session on the first day, I was struck by how much confusion still exists in the real estate industry. As I experienced in early June after attending NAR Midyear, the AI "experts" on stage gave incomplete, misleading, or simply wrong information. One example just floored me. During an AI panel, a presenter proclaimed that Gemini Pro was better than ChatGPT. In what way? For content creation, hardly. Learning about your voice? No way. For daily use? Are you kidding me? And there [...]
Why Brokers Need Better Visibility into Tech Engagement to Deliver more Effective Training
Technology is one of the largest expense items on a broker’s P&L. CRM systems, marketing automation, lead nurturing tools, CMA platforms, websites and social media services are just a few of the technologies brokers offer today. They feel like they have to offer a robust suite of tools to compete effectively today. But ask most brokers how many of their agents are using those tools consistently, and the answer is usually, “I’m not sure.”
MLS MCP servers are here – see the one David Gumpper built for real estate AI
Ira didn’t mince words. MLSs are at a turning point. “If they don’t provide MCP servers to their participants, brokers and vendors will build their own. And those systems will bypass the MLS entirely.”
How MLSs Can Deepen Broker Partnerships with Broker-Branded Dashboards
The relationship between brokers and their MLSs has evolved—and so have broker expectations. According to the WAV Group Brokerage Utilization and Access Study Part 2, brokers are no longer just looking to the MLS for listing access. They’re looking for help simplifying the overwhelming tech environment agents operate in every day.
One Brokerage, Ten MLSs, Why not a Multi-MLS centralized Dashboard?
Brokers operating in multiple MLS have an avalanche of complications they have to deal with - Slight market by market variances in Rules and Regs, redundant fees, patchwork quilt of data, Duplicate/triplicate data entry, and market specific tech tools. Operating in multiple MLS increases the complexity of running a brokerage and can take a bit out of the already razor thin broker margins.
Boost Agent Performance with a Dashboard That Enables Regular Sales Coaching
Expanding opportunities for regular sales coaching is one of the most overlooked opportunities in a brokerage today. The WAV Group Broker Technology Utilization and Access Study Part II uncovered that brokers want more than just tools for their agents. They want systems that help their managers coach, motivate, and support agent performance. And right now, they don’t feel they have what they need.
