Pictures Are Required. Floor Plans Should Be Too.

When you think about what makes a great listing, photos are at the top of the list. They’ve been a non-negotiable for years. You wouldn’t post a property without them—because buyers expect them, and sellers know they’re essential.

What if you could harness dozens of hours each month without cutting a single corner in your client service? For real estate professionals, this is fast becoming a new reality as AI transforms the way agents manage their daily workflow. It all starts with one surprising number: 179.

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

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.
