Keyglee comes to mind, Jameel Damji is involved with that one.


 I actually haven't heard of Keyglee until now, I'll check it out

Quote from @Tom Gimer:

For the right investor this can make sense. You can piggyback off national advertising (think We Buy Ugly Houses), have an instant network of support, and don't need to learn the hard way that your contracts are full of holes. I just reviewed a New Western contract that clearly had been prepared by solid attorneys.

Most of the franchises have a broker associated with them.


 So it takes most of the guesswork out of things essentially & helps you skip over most of the mistakes novices make

While doing some M&A business scouting, I came across someone looking to sell their Wholesale Real Estate franchise which I didn't know was an actual thing as far as franchising goes. I'm not looking to purchase but I'm curious on what the general consensus is around this model? 

 How can one have a wholesale franchise? I guess a room full of cold callers. HMM I wonder if you would have to get licensed for this, ? I can get as many deals as I want in my market without having to pay for a franchise. Just network, deals are everywhere ,


 This was the thought process I had in mind as well, I think the core benefits were the "developed for you" system that was laid out along with consistent inbound leads, a pre-setup CRM & the Franchise name. Maybe its better for people who are fresh in the space & want a "business in a box" essentially

Unpopular opinion here, but I am not bullish on the use cases of AI in the real estate world. The exception will be wholesalers and aggressive off-market deal finding professionals who may use it to automate a tremendous amount of marketing. 

To that end, it may be slightly more efficient at getting a first contact rate than other tools, as folks may be temporarily lulled into thinking they are being contacted by a human. 

That off-marketing deal finding stuff is not my cup of tea, personally. 

In all of the major relationships I have with contractors, tenants, property managers, etc. AI is likely to have essentially no impact, or no impact beyond the general administrative support that we will all see improvements in around scheduling, autocompletion on texts and emails, etc. 


It probably is best for off market inquiries & of course as agents look for ways to simplify their processes, AI tools will become available to do so. The AI I'm referencing is great for locking in calls to book appointments with a closer or following up with leads. Takes a lot of emotion out of the ordeal as well & can veer off script then come back to it in order to sound like a real person. Its useful for inbound calls, being able to handle customer inquiries  24/7. Some people just want their questions answered & since what we leverage is built on any knowledge base we feed it, as well as every inbound conversation, its adaptive, besides it already sounding like a human rather than a robo-dialer. I think the version of AI you're thinking of is bound by those limitations but it isn't the case across the spectrum.

Vontarius, what tech is that?


Conversational AI, we're a partner agency that sells it. Cool to see that you're from Birmingham, I'm originally from Chilton County!

Use Poe.com, it gives you access to like 7 different AIs. ChatGPT, Claude, LLaMa, Sage, Dragonfly, etc. 

Our tech actually makes calls to contacts, follows a script & prompts action, books calls etc. It can also handle inbound customer service calls & converses like a person rather than a robot. It records those calls & leverages machine learning to improve the way it conversates as well.

Hey Everyone!

I’m a student at USC studying real estate, and a lot of talk on campus is about how to use AI tools like ChatGPT in the real estate industry.

My questions are for those who have heard about the technology, are open to using it to streamline their workflow, but aren’t sure how it works or how to incorporate it into their work:

  • 1. What kind of daily tasks would you most like to automate?
  • 2. If shown how the platform works and how to best use it, would this make you more inclined to use ChatGPT for work?
  • 3. Would a ChatGPT how-to resource tailored for the real estate industry be of value to some?

Thank you very much for your feedback!


 I recommend watching some youtube videos on it and taking an intro course on how it works. Reality is today its not very helpful for me as a real estate investor. It helps me write and clarify things but its not going to double my business, its great for some of the minor tasks today. It continues to improve and will improve. 


 Chat is great for the basics but you really don't start seeing the potential for real business enhancement until you dive into leveraging actionable AIs

I think its useful for outbound calls & inbound customer inquiries, its really dependent on the tech. Our tech actually makes the calls & books the appointments for our clients, sounds like a human too. Its kind of wild tbh
