    AI Agents for Real Estate: Beyond Writing Emails

    You’re using ChatGPT to write emails. But what about the marketing, lead follow-up, and daily tasks that still need your attention? On Real Estate Riches, Kathy Byrnes welcomes AI coach Carrie Soave to discuss building AI systems around your real estate business. Carrie shares how her content workflow researches posts, tracks trends, and prepares ideas for her approval. She also recounts a newer agent’s experience with 24 deals under contract and operations that couldn’t keep up. They explore what Carrie calls “intent engineering,” why she stores her “AI brain” outside individual models, and where human review still belongs. ⏱️ 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: (00:00) - Intro (00:14) - Meet Carrie Soave (02:41) - AI for Marketing and Operations (04:17) - AI Adoption and Business Returns (05:00) - Moving Beyond Writing Emails (07:41) - From Prompts to Intent (09:56) - Keeping Your AI Brain Outside the Model (13:03) - Coaching, Support and Pricing (17:11) - Workshops and Different AI Platforms (19:24) - 24 Deals and an Operations Bottleneck (21:43) - Inside Carrie’s Content Workflow (24:53) - Project 42: Event Details 🎙️ 𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬: Kathy Byrnes | Real Estate Riches 👤 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧: Carrie Soave 🔗 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗘 𝗦𝗢𝗔𝗩𝗘:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carriesoaveai/• Website: https://carriesoave.ca/ 🔗 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗞𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗬 𝗕𝗬𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗦: • Website: https://www.thereispowerinproximity.com • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathy_byrnes_lkn/ #RealEstateRichesPodcast #KathyByrnes #CarrieSoave #RealEstateAI Follow and rate Real Estate Riches on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! 🎬 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆: https://iconsofrealestate.com/

    Own Your Leads With a $300 AI System | Lindsey Sandoval

    A $300 AI lead system can help real estate agents run their own Meta campaigns while keeping control of the leads they generate. Kathy Byrnes talks with Lindsey Sandoval about Funnel Pilot, coaching, campaign monitoring, and the human follow-up that still turns a lead system into a working business process. Lindsey explains how she has used customizable campaigns for a Lincolnton listing, cash offers, and new construction in the Catawba Valley. She also shares how an out-of-state seller lead became a referral opportunity through eXp's network. Her central point is that AI should support an agent's existing work, protect time, and keep the process moving, not replace consistent calls and follow-up. _____________ 🎧 HOSTED BY: Kathy Byrnes | Real Estate Riches Podcast 👤 GUEST: Lindsey Sandoval | Realtor, eXp Realty and Loan Officer, Top Flite Home Loans 👉🏻 CONNECT WITH LINDSEY SANDOVAL: • Website: https://lindseysandoval.com/ • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsey-sandoval-20922b79/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/want_to_invest_in_real_estate/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580981193272 👉🏻 FOLLOW KATHY BYRNES: • Website: https://www.thereispowerinproximity.com/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KathyByrnesGlobal • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathy_byrnes_lkn/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LKNRealEstateTeam/ • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lakenormanliving #RealEstateRichesPodcast #KathyByrnes #LindseySandoval #RealEstateLeads #RealEstateAI Follow and rate the podcast on Spotify to stay updated on new episodes! 💎 Produced by Icons of Real Estate

    He Turned $300 Into 100 Leads: Jay Kinder's No-Cost Playbook

    Most agents hand a chunk of every commission to a stranger just to meet a buyer. Jay Kinder flips that math completely. Kathy's already living proof it works: she's using his lead program in her own business and says flat out, "people in my whole organization are loving it." Kathy Byrnes built Real Estate Riches Podcast around real estate agent mentorship, pairing her own path as a Certified Global Marketing Agent and eXp Realty mentor with conversations that push agents past guesswork. Jay Kinder fits that mold from the other direction: he ranked number two worldwide at Coldwell Banker, built a national coaching company with Michael Reese, and eventually built a lead program at eXp that charges agents nothing because he only gets paid through revenue share when they do. Hosted by: Kathy Byrnes Guest: Jay Kinder Jay Kinder started in real estate at 19 and became the number two agent worldwide for Coldwell Banker. He spent a decade climbing what he now calls the wrong ladder before deciding, in his own words, "there's gotta be a better way," and building exactly that at eXp Realty. What You'll LearnChapters Flipping the math on lead costs so a $300 spend produces roughly 100 leads Getting help with lead generation without paying anyone a dime upfront Escaping the wait-for-a-referral approach most agents never outgrow Building compounding income instead of chasing one deal at a time Coming back from a real financial setback with a completely different plan Learning what actually separates a coachable agent from a stuck one Extending real estate agent mentorship into new markets, even new countries Understanding why an agent-centric compensation model changes everything (00:00:00) - Intro (00:01:12) - Coldwell Banker to eXp (00:01:39) - The Real Cost of Buying Leads (00:03:35) - Why It's Free for Agents (00:04:33) - Co-Sponsorship, Simplified (00:07:29) - $300 In, 100 Leads Out (00:26:17) - Broke After '07-'08 (00:29:49) - Revenue Share vs. Investing (00:38:36) - Stolen First Deal (00:41:56) - Leaving a Comfortable Brokerage (00:51:18) - Agent-Centric by Design (00:53:39) - Assume You're Wrong (00:54:48) - Connect with Jay Connect with Jay Kinder Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaykinder82/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaykinder/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jaykinderteam/ Website: https://www.jaykinder.me Connect with Kathy Byrnes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LKNRealEstateTeam/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathy_byrnes_lkn/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lakenormanliving Website: https://www.thereispowerinproximity.com/ #RealEstateRichesPodcast #KathyByrnes #LakeNormanRealEstate #eXpRealty #LuxuryRealEstate #WaterfrontHomes #RealEstateMentor #NorthCarolinaRealEstate #RealEstatePodcast #TopRealtor

    Licensed in 2007, Straight Into the Crash | Jason Ostrowsky

    Jason Ostrowsky got his real estate license in 2007. The market fell apart the following year. He stayed in anyway, and twenty years later he is Team Leader of his own luxury team outside Philadelphia. What kept him alive early was an exclusive on a new construction project he sat three or four days a week, back when one in every four sales at his company was a short sale. What keeps him relevant now is different. He says the single thing agents should be working on is getting found in AI search, which means making every bio you own say the same thing and getting onto sites like HomeLight and FastExpert so there is something for AI to find. Real Estate Riches Podcast is a real estate coaching podcast for agents at every stage. Kathy Byrnes hosts it because the best success stories come from agents who keep learning after the market has already tried to run them off. An eXp Realty mentor and Certified Global Marketing Agent, she arrived in North Carolina from Michigan in 2005 dead broke, got licensed in 2006, and spent a stretch riding in her buyers' cars because she had no gas money for her own. She is 76. She was 56 when she started. Hosted by: Kathy Byrnes Guest: Jason Ostrowsky Jason Ostrowsky is a Montgomery County real estate advisor and Team Leader of The Jason Ostrowsky Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach. Host of the Everything Real Estate Podcast and founder of home monitoring service Far and Away, he specializes in luxury properties, golf course communities, and lifestyle-driven residential transactions across Blue Bell, Ambler, and the surrounding Philadelphia suburbs.  What You'll Learn: Writing one bio that matches everywhere so AI search has something consistent to pull Getting onto the profile sites that feed AI answers about agents in your market Using AI on luxury listing marketing without handing over the client relationship Pitching a podcast internally as training your team will actually sit through Getting on camera years before you are comfortable being on camera Naming the story you keep telling yourself and changing its tense Turning a slow market into the year you get educated instead of the year you leave Building agent-to-agent relationships that send referrals both directions for years Subscribe and share this one with your real estate friends.
