    24: Collaboration vs Competition in Real Estate: Actionable Growth Tips

    Collaboration Over Competition: 5 Simple Ways Realtors Can Win Together   In this Agents Without Borders episode, Elizabeth and Desi discuss shifting from scarcity and competition to abundance through collaboration, sharing five practical ways realtors can work better together. They encourage sharing real lessons—not just wins—such as sending voice memos with scripts that worked or explaining how you solved a transaction problem so others can learn. They suggest “saving a seat” by repeatedly inviting other agents to masterminds, watch parties, and events to build relationships and uncover opportunities. They introduce “social opens,” where agents are invited to a new listing to create social content and even learn tools together, benefiting both agents and sellers. They emphasize being a resource by offering tips during transactions and learning both directions, and they close with the power of genuine compliments to warm conversations and create a positive ripple effect.

    23: Yamili Quezada on Jobi AI, Scaling Real Estate & Never Missing a Lead

    AI That Answers Your Calls: Denver Realtor Yamili Quezada on Jobi AI, Scaling Real Estate & Never Missing a Lead In this Agents Without Borders episode, Elizabeth and Desi interview Denver-based real estate agent and entrepreneur Yamili Quezada, who started in wholesaling and house flipping, ran a resurfacing company for eight years, and became licensed in 2021. Yamili shares why wearing multiple hats can limit growth and how that led her to launch Jobi AI—an AI phone assistant that answers calls, captures and tracks leads, asks scripted qualifying questions (buy/sell/invest/agent), books appointments directly onto an agent’s calendar, and sends confirmations, reminders, and Zoom links, with an option to transfer callers to a human. She explains that Jobi is customizable, can use different voices, is trained to be warm and transparent that it’s AI, and pushes call data and recordings into a CRM to review outcomes like hang-ups and bypass requests. The conversation highlights realtor takeaways: speed-to-lead matters because missed calls can mean missed deals; systems and delegation (including AI) help agents scale without the stress of hiring, training, and firing; focus time on highest-producing activities and client-facing service; and use AI to reduce routine tasks so agents can strengthen the personal connection. Yamili also shares her personal goal to raise one million dollars within two years to support causes she cares about, enabled by increased efficiency and service capacity.
