(uploaded June 23, 2026) containing a single-speaker commentary/livestream-style monologue about AI adoption in real estate. The speaker references the National Association of Realtors legislative meetings and a White House technology chief urging realtors to use AI, critiques claims (citing Ramp) that AI use directly boosts sales (pointing out correlation vs. causation), and argues that top agents should preserve human connection while using AI responsibly for systems and starting points rather than replacing local knowledge (e.g., listing presentations or negotiation strategies). The speaker also criticizes superficial AI uses like synthetic headshots/memes and suggests there are bright spots amid the hype.

Chapters
At the National Association of Realtors legislative meetings, they had the White House technology chief there and he was telling realtors they should be using AI and telling them that if you don't, you're going to be left behind and you can't run a business without it. And my least favorite thing in this article, which I thought was absolutely crazy, was that they're looking at some data from Ramp, which is an online company that does things and Ramp was telling them that they can tell which companies use AI and that their sales go up and the ones that don't, their sales are stagnant. And y'all, that is some crap. I mean, come on, causation and correlation. I mean, correlation is not causation, causation is not correlation. Correlation is not causation. That's not necessarily so. Now AI is baked into everything that we're doing. It's baked into your iPhone, it's baked into this livestream, it's baked in everywhere. I get that. However, I think your really smart real estate agents and brokerages will understand that since real estate's not a commodity— so look at me, I made a loop for you guys. With real estate not being a commodity item, the best people in real estate still understand the human connectivity involved. Now, it doesn't mean you can't use AI to improve your systems and your processes and to give you a starting point. Ask it questions, but to have it prepare your full listing presentation would be nuts because AI hasn't been inside that neighborhood. And to ask it to put together a negotiating strategy, how is AI going to do a negotiating strategy on a property? So you realize that the limitations are there and that if you are savvy, you will continue doing what's working for you and you'll learn some things that might help you. But I'm just gonna say, I don't think the best use of AI for real estate is people using it to make new headshots and to make memes of themselves, because that's using up groundwater for memes. So if we're gonna use AI, can we just use it responsibly? And I'll just say here, I do find it kind of interesting that the White House is pressing on the use of AI And this is, of course, the same administration that's currently building a data center under the ballroom. And if you're not up to speed on that, then we should talk. Just know this, when there's noise out there, there's a way to cut through it. And when you cut through it, man, everything's not actually doom and gloom. There's some really good bright spots out there, and they're brought to you by your friends, your humans, and your neighbors.
