Lisa B and Matt Manser share practical AI uses for real estate admin, from email and follow-ups to listing workflows, while keeping you in control of your business.
Using AI for real estate admin has opened up a whole lot of possibilities for me. In this episode of Let’s Talk About Real Estate, Matt Manser and I talk about what we’ve been trying, what’s been useful and what we’re still learning.
Having AI attend to my emails
I was unsure about having AI attend to my emails at first. Once I started, I moved more than 57,000 unwanted emails to Trash and started finding other ways to use the help. Follow-up reminders have been a big one. For an ongoing project, I can be reminded to contact my clients or real estate agents and get help putting together what to say.
We talk about setting clear parameters and approval checks, so I know what is being prepared and what needs my approval.
Business planning and events
I’ve used AI for a real estate business plan, modelling income, expenses and profit in a spreadsheet. I’ve also been getting help with events, including the graphics, websites and emails. The more I use it, the more I notice the repetitive jobs I could get help with.
Matt’s real estate workflows
Matt explains his pod factory: his approach to building a hosted system for each client, with AI agents assigned to different jobs. He also shares an example from a listing appointment, including preparing agency paperwork, client follow-up and arranging photography.
Keeping track of the work
I share a technical problem I ran into, too. The cause was still being investigated when we recorded. It reminded me to stay involved rather than assuming everything was finished or working as expected.
One habit I’ve found useful is asking at the end of the day what I requested, what is still unfinished and what needs my sign-off. When I have lots of ideas on the go, that helps me see what still needs doing.
More to explore
We finish with AI voiceovers and audiobooks. Next week, we’ll talk about setting up automated social media and how it’s working.
