Episode 658: How I Built a 500K+ Real Estate Community
Over 500,000 real estate agents jumped into my Facebook group, Lab Coat Agents. That's half a million basically crowding into this big online clubhouse where we bicker over CRMs and share memes about those open house disasters. In this video, I'm gonna walk you through starting your own group or club or even a meetup, all without driving yourself nuts.
Here's the thing. You don't have to be some big famous person to pull it off. Really, all you need is that one topic you actually care about, plus a name that doesn't come off like some sketchy MLM scheme, and a simple plan you can hang onto for more than a couple weeks.
What I'm covering in here: the single subject you could ramble on about year-round and not get sick of it yourself. How to pick a name for your group so it doesn't scream cult vibes. Why having rules ends up saving the whole thing, yeah even that basic no spam one. And the easy setup kit for lazy types who want to launch everything in just one go.

Episode 654: 4 Real Estate Tools That Just Leveled Up
Some of those tools you use all the time. Yeah, they’ve been hitting the gym. Like, these four real estate ones just leveled up big time. If you are not keeping an eye on them, you are probably wasting money and hours you could save.
I go over PropStream, Showami, Agent Legend, and Claude in this one. What is new with each, which parts really deliver, and the spots where I was kind of surprised, you know. One even turned Excel into something useful again.
Here is the breakdown, no fancy jargon or anything:
PropStream turned into this all-in-one thing for agents now. It handles so much, like a tool that does everything you need without switching apps all day.
Showami works like Uber but for house showings. Less of that weird chit-chat too, which makes it smoother for everyone involved.
Agent Legend's AI helpers got a real makeover. Lily and Hazel, they are pretty intense these days, handling tasks you did not think they could.
Claude has this update where it builds a full presentation for you. Basically, you can chill or sleep, and it gets done.
