From Skeptic to Superfan: How AI Transforms Real Estate Workflows

🚀 From AI Skeptic to Superfan! 🚀

I’ll admit it—I was one of those agents who thought AI was just another fad. But after one long-haul flight and a deep dive into ChatGPT, I realized I was dead wrong. 🤯

In this episode of Real Estate Real World, I sit down with Marki Lemons Ryhal—a powerhouse in real estate, tech, and education—who shares how AI has completely transformed the way she works. From content creation to email marketing and even writing an entire book in a single flight, AI is a game-changer for efficiency and success.

But here’s the thing—AI isn’t here to replace us; it’s here to help us spend more time in our brilliance and less time on busywork. 💡

Tune in as we chat about:
✅ How AI is already embedded in your real estate tools (even if you don’t realize it)
✅ Why ignoring AI could slow you down in this fast-paced industry
✅ The #1 mistake agents make when using AI—and how to fix it
✅ How to protect yourself from the “dark side” of AI (scams, deepfakes & more)

🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you tune in!

Revolutionizing Real Estate: The Future of MLS with Dave Howe

Let’s be real—real estate isn’t what it used to be. Gone are the days of flipping through MLS books and faxing blurry contracts (remember when faxes would fade?!). Now, we’re talking AI-powered searches, voice-activated MLS tools, and game-changing technology that’s transforming the way we do business.

In this episode of Real Estate Real World, I sat down with Dave Howe, CEO of MetroList, to chat about:

✅ How MLS has evolved from books to AI-driven search
✅ Why artificial intelligence is the next big thing for real estate
✅ How agents can adapt, stay ahead, and thrive in today’s fast-changing market
✅ The real impact of lawsuits & industry shifts—and how to navigate them

We covered a LOT, including why embracing change is the secret to long-term success. If you’re still on the fence about AI or wondering where MLS technology is headed, this convo is a MUST-listen.

The Hustle Behind a 100K GCI Monthly Goal

From Corrections to Closings! 🎙️

What happens when life throws you a curveball so big it shakes your entire career? For Aaron Ralls, that moment came when he lost his job as a corrections officer, leaving him in financial crisis with a home in foreclosure, a family to support, and no clear path forward.

But instead of letting the setback define him, Aaron reinvented himself—first as a barbershop owner and then as a highly successful real estate agent, closing one deal per week and working toward a $100K monthly GCI goal! 💰🏡

In this episode, Aaron gets real and raw about his journey, from facing false accusations and losing everything to building a thriving real estate business with zero paid leads—all through relationship-building and sheer determination.
