Great convo starter ​@Peter Osmanski! AI and regulation are shaking things up fast. Is tech helping you win more? And how are you staying ahead of the legal curve?
Curious where everyone sees this headed! 

Let’s get some voices in here. ​@Dispomoneymike, ​@Zoerene, ​@MichelleMcCormickHomes,​@Cory Boatright, ​@Wigens Gedeon, @Goldendeals777, ​@Patrick yancy, ​@Tom_Williford, ​@Jason Withmore.
This is exactly the kind of forward-looking convo that helps us all level up. 💬 Drop your thoughts, insights, or even gut feelings - your perspective matters. Let’s make this thread count.

I feel like AI helps… sort of.  

However, at the end of the day, I feel that 90% of my business still depends on my network of people that know me, trust me, that I’ve done wholesale deals with before and that know that working with me will be a seamless escrow.  I have a great reputation in my wholesale community, which is in San Diego, so I’m proud of that because I’m not in a small market!

I’ve been in the real estate industry since 2001.  Nothing will ever compare to just building your reputation, having actual real life experience and a strong network of people that answer their phone when they see you calling.  AI and tech will never replace that, no matter if you’re in traditional, wholesaling, flipping, development etc.

It’s real estate 101 and face to face personal connections when you’re dealing with most people’s biggest asset want a real person to talk to…..

​@MichelleMcCormickHomes  - Phil Green in your market is a friend. They do over #100m a yr and definitely lean HEAVY on existing relationships and creating new ones. 

Will small investors thrive or get squeezed out?

A: Investors big and small will continue to innovate and thrive if they are open to change. If they are stuck relying on old business practices to get through the next wave of business challenges they will suffer a lot.

Does tech make us smarter or more vulnerable?

A: A little of both.

What risks (and opportunities) are we missing?

A: More opportunities to use AI for research. Utilizing marketing trends and using those to make better decisions in our business. Risks are can becoming a “VHS business” when “streaming” is available but ignoring it. Netflx vs Blockbuster in terms of innovation outlook. AI is going to trump many other innovations combined. We are definitely not ready to embrace what it can do.

Love the insights here! 👏 ​@MichelleMcCormickHomes brings up a powerful reminder - in this industry, relationships and reputation are everything. And ​@Cory Boatright, you nailed it with the innovation lens. It’s clear both personal connection and tech adaptation are playing bigger roles in our success stories.

​@Peter Osmanski - would love to hear your own take on where you see this heading!

Also, ​@Patrick yancy curious to hear your perspective too. Do you lean more toward the relationship-first mindset or are you testing new tech strategies?
