    AI Is Changing How Buyers Find Homes—and Agents Need to Adapt
    Oct 2 2026
    Your next buyer may not start their home search on Zillow, Realtor.com, or Redfin. They may simply ask an AI assistant to find three homes, compare them, identify the best options, pull the listing agent’s information, and help schedule the showings. In this episode of PowerHouse Talk, Tim Harris, Julie Harris, Chris Heller, Dan Lesniak, and Tammy Irby break down what the rapid rise of AI means for real estate agents right now. They dig into Meta’s Muse, AI-powered home searches, pricing and CMAs, buyer inspection requests, virtual staging, Zillow lead costs, expired listings, and the growing number of tasks agents can hand off to AI. You’ll hear: • Why AI assistants could change the way consumers search for homes• What happens when buyers use AI during inspections and negotiations• Why sellers are already using AI to question pricing• The debate over AI staging—and where agents can cross the line• Why expensive portal leads may be losing their appeal• How AI can help agents analyze comps without replacing their judgment• What agents should do with the time AI gives back to them• Why traditional prospecting like direct mail, expireds, and follow-up still works AI isn’t just another piece of real estate software. It’s becoming part of the consumer’s decision-making process. The question is whether your business is ready for it.

  • AI Is Becoming Your Real Estate Team — Are Agents Ready?

    AI Is Becoming Your Real Estate Team — Are Agents Ready?
    Sep 18 2026
    What if you had 100 genius-level employees ready to work for your real estate business tomorrow? That’s the question driving this episode of PowerHouseTalk. The conversation goes far beyond using AI to write emails or social media posts. The team breaks down what happens when real estate agents begin treating AI like an actual workforce — handling client follow-up, market reports, transaction coordination, research, content creation, scheduling, and countless other tasks. Keri Shull shares how her AI assistant “Claire” has moved from handling business tasks into personal logistics, while the group discusses where they still believe humans remain essential — especially when empathy, emotional intelligence, creativity, and sensitive client conversations are involved. They also explore AI avatars for real estate content, the changing housing affordability conversation, technological abundance, and how rapidly advancing AI could reshape the way people think about work, money, aging, and their future. The biggest question isn’t whether AI is coming to real estate. It’s how much of your business you’re willing to let it run.

  • AI Is Reshaping Real Estate — And the Agents Who Adapt Have the Advantage

    AI Is Reshaping Real Estate — And the Agents Who Adapt Have the Advantage
    Sep 11 2026
    AI is moving from something agents experiment with to something that can directly impact listings, marketing, productivity, and client service. In this episode of PowerHouseTalk, Tim and Julie Harris, Keri Shull, Dan Lesniak, and Tammy Irby discuss how real estate professionals are using AI in practical ways inside their businesses—and why adapting now matters. The conversation covers a real-world example of AI helping build the strategy and communication that led to a difficult listing opportunity moving forward, along with ways agents can use AI for research, case studies, listing marketing, content creation, and client communication. They also dive into AI search and AEO, why agents need to think about how they appear when consumers ask AI for recommendations, and how searchable proof of experience may become increasingly important. The discussion then expands into the future of automation, including robo-taxis, AI-powered real estate teams, cinematic listing content, and what all of this could mean for the way agents spend their time. The biggest takeaway? As technology handles more repetitive work, communication, trust, negotiation, and relationships become even more valuable. AI may change how the work gets done. The agents who learn how to use it effectively can spend more time doing the parts of real estate that still require a human.

    AI Is About to Change Real Estate Forever — Are Agents Ready?
    Aug 28 2026
    AI just crossed a line from being a tool you use to something that can actually do the work for you. In this episode of PowerHouseTalk, Tim, Julie, Chris, and Dan break down what happens when AI can log into your systems, manage workflows, handle repetitive tasks, create marketing, work inside your CRM, and keep moving while you're offline.

The conversation also gets practical with real-world real estate strategies, including how one expired call can turn into millions in potential business, why open houses still work when you use all three opportunities surrounding them, how to rebuild production after leaving a team, and what to say when a stale listing clearly needs to be repositioned.

In this episode: • Why AI could dramatically change how real estate teams operate• How agents can use AI to eliminate non-revenue-producing work• Why agents who adopt technology may gain a massive productivity advantage• The fastest path to rebuilding your real estate production• The three opportunities inside every open house• How to talk to sellers about repositioning an overpriced listing• Why one expired listing call can create years of business• Costly real estate mistakes every agent can learn from Want more strategies, tools, and training for building a stronger real estate business?

  • AI Is Changing Real Estate Faster Than Most Agents Realize

    AI Is Changing Real Estate Faster Than Most Agents Realize
    Aug 21 2026
    AI isn’t just helping real estate agents write emails anymore. It’s starting to manage transactions, organize sales funnels, qualify leads, coordinate appointments, analyze businesses, assist with accountability, and take over work that once required multiple employees. In this PowerHouseTalk, Tim Harris, Julie Harris, Chris Heller, and Dan Lesniak break down how AI is already changing the way real estate agents and teams operate — and why the divide between agents who embrace AI and those who ignore it may get very big, very fast. The conversation goes beyond AI tools. They also tackle what agents should still be doing themselves, why human relationships may become even more valuable as technology improves, and why blindly delegating revenue-producing activities can hurt your business. Inside this conversation: How AI is already replacing operational real estate tasks Why every agent may eventually have a personal AI business manager How AI could assist during listing presentations and buyer consultations Why human connection becomes more important as AI improves Why prospecting should still come before branding Why expired listings are a major opportunity How successful agents can buy back their time The difference between delegation and abdication What agents should never completely outsource Why results and reputation matter more than looking successful online The future of real estate may be powered by AI. But the agents who win may still be the ones who know how to prospect, communicate, build relationships, and create real results. 📩 Get the PowerHouseTalk Newsletter Go deeper into the strategies, ideas, and conversations from the show.
