Why Handing Your Database to AI Is Backfiring
Send us Fan Mail
A lot of Realtors are turning their whole database over to the AI built into their CRM. From everything I've seen, it's not working. AI is great at taking tasks off your plate. It is not great at knowing that a past client's daughter just left for college.
In this episode, I talk about where AI actually fits in your business and where you still have to show up yourself.
What we cover:
Why letting AI run your relationships falls flatUsing technology...Before You Hire Another Assistant, Listen to This
Send us Fan Mail
 A conversation at a conference reminded me how many real estate professionals still haven’t seen AI agents handle everyday work.
In this episode, I share how I use agents for birthday research, email checks, calendar reviews, past-client follow-up, and for-sale-by-owner research. I explain my approach to building one specialist at a time, teaching the job, checking the results, and expanding from there.
For Realtors, the goal is more time for personal conversations. Let an agent gather the information so you’re prepared to pick up the phone.

How To Unlock Equity Before The House Even Sells
Send us Fan Mail
Mark Madsen and I sat down with Bill Rogerson, President of Cash to Win, to talk about options Realtors should know when a client has substantial equity tied up in their current home but isn’t ready, or doesn’t want, to sell before buying the next one.
We get into Cash to Win’s buy-before-sell approach, how it fits alongside options like HELOCs and bridge loans, downsizing and relocation situations, homes that need repairs before going on the market, and why the right answer isn’t always the same for every ho...
Your TC, VA, and AI Are Probably Doing the Wrong Jobs
Send us Fan Mail
Realtors have more ways than ever to delegate work. Transaction Coordinators, virtual assistants, AI agents, and normal AI tools all save time. The problem is figuring out which one should handle each job.
After years of working with VAs, building SOPs, and now testing AI agents, I have started looking at delegation differently. Some work absolutely belongs with the Realtor. Other work should never be taking up the Realtor’s day.
In this episode, I break down how I decide what stays with the Realtor, what belongs with a TC...
My AI agent burned through 63,000 credits in four days. Cost: $329
Send us Fan Mail
 The technology worked. The finished work looked impressive. The expense exposed a problem few business owners are measuring.
In this episode, I break down the true cost of getting work done through AI agents, virtual assistants, employees, freelancers, automation, or your own time. I also explain why one listing landing page used about 9,000 credits, bringing its estimated cost to $47.
The goal is not to automate everything. The goal is to protect your time, judgment, client relationships, and income while finding the most economical worker for each task.Â

If you've got waiting buyers, credit cleanup clients, or past clients who said "maybe next year" sitting in your database, this e...
Your Real Estate Career Needs a Memory

After 24 years in real estate and mortgage, I realized something.

This episode is about fixing that.
I break down how Realtors can build a simple Deal Journal to document transactions, preserve lessons, create future content, train team members, and build a searchable record of the work they have done.

Realtors: Warn Your Clients About Student Loans Before Credit Gets Hit
Send us Fan Mail
If you are a Realtor, this is one warning worth sending to your database.
We are seeing buyers with solid credit suddenly show new student loan late payments because they did not realize a payment was due.

I also walk through a simple 90-day rollout for picking the right neighborhood, building your farm, creating local content, and st...
Most AI real estate videos look fake for one simple reason: the camera moves, but the movement doesn't mean anything.
Send us Fan Mail
 In this episode, Keith breaks down how realtors can direct camera movement inside their AI video prompts, so listing videos, social posts, and educational clips feel planned instead of generated. The trick isn't fancier prompting. It's giving every shot a job: a clear starting point, a trigger, a specific movement, a reveal, an ending frame, and a speed.
Keith walks through the camera moves that actually work for real estate, a simple six-shot structure for listing videos, the before-and-after transitions that hide the cut, and why a few controlled camera imperfections m...
How to Get New Clients When They Ask ChatGPT, Google AI, and Claude

Google search has changed. If you’re still trying to rank number one with yesterday’s SEO strategies, you’re already falling behind.
Today’s buyers aren’t just searching Google anymore. They’re asking AI tools like Google AI, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini detailed questions about who they should work with. The agents who consistently show up aren’t necessarily the ones with the biggest marketing budget. They’re the ones AI understands the best.

ChatGPT Ads Just Opened: The Early-Mover Advantage Realtors Rarely Get Twice

Every time a new ad channel shows up, the same story plays out.
A small group jumps in early.
Everyone else hangs back.
Two years later, the people who waited are the ones saying, "It's too expensive, it's too competitive, it doesn't work anymore."
We've watched that happen with Google PPC.

The Relationship Specialist. How Loan Officers and Realtors Stop Losing Deals in the Messy Middle
