How can AI help agents build stronger client relationships instead of simply automating tasks? That's the question at the heart of this conversation.

In this episode, I sit down with Luis Poggi, co-founder and CEO of HouseWhisper, to explore how AI-powered assistants are helping agents stay on top of follow-up, manage their CRM, and create more meaningful client interactions. Drawing on his experience leading product teams at Zillow, Luis shares why the biggest opportunity isn't replacing agents, but giving them the systems to consistently deliver a better client experience.

We also discuss what startup founders are learning as AI evolves at an incredible pace, why customer obsession should guide every product decision, and how the future belongs to companies that solve real problems instead of simply adding more technology.

If you're looking for practical insights into where AI-powered assistants are headed and what that means for the future of real estate, you'll enjoy this conversation.

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Saxon with Nest Realty in Charlottesville, Virginia, to discuss what it truly means to be an AI-forward real estate professional. Chris shares how a single listing presentation sparked his AI journey and how he's transformed that curiosity into practical workflows that help him better serve buyers and sellers.

We explore how he's using AI to create hyper-local market reports, analyze MLS data, summarize complex documents, prepare for important client conversations, and automate meeting notes. Rather than using AI to replace the human side of real estate, Chris explains how it allows him to spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time building trust, providing guidance, and strengthening client relationships.

We also discuss why every agent should have a clear philosophy for using AI with clients, how to communicate that approach during buyer and seller consultations, and why responsible AI adoption can become a competitive advantage. Chris wraps up the conversation by sharing the books that have shaped both his business and personal life, along with advice for agents on creating continuous feedback loops that drive long-term growth.

Whether you're just beginning your AI journey or looking to build more advanced workflows, this episode offers practical ideas you can put to work immediately.

In this episode, Matthew Walker from Homes.com joins me to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the way consumers search for homes and how agents can benefit from this new generation of AI-powered search experiences. Drawing on nearly a decade of helping real estate professionals grow their business, Matthew shares how AI is making home search more natural, conversational, and personalized.

The conversation dives into the development of Homes AI and how it allows buyers to search using everyday language instead of traditional filters. Whether it's finding a home near a favorite destination, a shorter commute, great schools, or specific neighborhood amenities, Matthew explains how AI can better understand the context behind a buyer's lifestyle and surface more relevant results. He also discusses how Homes AI combines conversational search with Homes.com's extensive property and neighborhood data to create a richer search experience.

In this episode, Rajeev Sajja sits down with Matthew Rathbun, Executive Vice President of Coldwell Banker Elite, to discuss how agents can move beyond experimenting with AI and begin integrating it into every part of their business. As both a producing agent and brokerage leader, Matthew shares practical strategies for using AI to improve productivity, strengthen decision-making, and create better client experiences.

Matthew explains how he relies on AI in three distinct roles: as a thought partner to challenge ideas, an augmenter to improve the quality of his work, and a coach to help prioritize tasks, manage information, and stay focused throughout the day. He also shares how voice conversations with AI have become his primary way of working, making AI a natural extension of his daily workflow rather than just another software tool.

The conversation explores practical AI workflows for creating listing marketing, producing video content, developing educational materials, writing company policies, and generating hyperlocal content that builds trust with consumers. Matthew also shares several of his favorite AI tools and explains why building repeatable workflows is far more valuable than chasing the latest AI app.

Rajeev and Matthew also discuss the importance of curiosity, continuous learning, and looking beyond the real estate industry for ideas that can be adapted to create a competitive advantage. Their message is clear: AI doesn't replace expertise, it amplifies it for professionals who are willing to learn and experiment.
