In this episode of AJ Unfiltered, the brothers break down:
• The real story behind starting a brokerage mid-crash
• How they discovered the Super-Team model (before it was cool)
• The systems, ISAs, and culture that tripled their agent productivity
• Why “team over ego” is the future of real estate

This time, I sat down with Rob Raybould — one of the sharpest minds in AI and real estate. We dug into the big question on every agent’s mind: will AI replace realtors, or will it make the best ones unstoppable?

We went deep on:

• How AI is reshaping lead gen, follow-up, pricing, and contracts
• Why 80% of realtors could be gone in the next decade
• What the “super agent” of the future looks like
• Privacy, deepfakes, and the dark side of AI in real estate
• How to protect your career by building an AI moat now

This isn’t AI hype. It’s a no-BS look at the future of our industry — and the exact plays you can run today to stay ahead.

Most realtors already have a goldmine sitting right under their nose: their own database.

In Episode #2 of AJ Unfiltered, AJ Hazzi sits down with Frank Klesitz (CEO of Vyral Marketing) to break down the exact 0-Cost Marketing Machine any realtor can use to generate listings today.

Frank has helped thousands of agents build businesses by mining their databases, sending the right content, and making the right calls. In this episode, you’ll learn how to pull together every contact you’ve ever made, reconnect authentically, and turn those relationships into warm listing appointments — without spending a dime on ads.

🔑 What You’ll Learn

• How to export, clean, and reconnect with your full contact list
• The “permission-pass” email that gets replies (and avoids spam)
• Why 2 short educational videos a month can change your business
• The two-text survey that sparks listing conversations
• Why unsubscribes are good (and how to protect your sender reputation)
• The CTA that still works: “What’s your home worth?”
• How webinars and YouTube build authority while filling your pipeline

This is the no-BS operator’s playbook for free lead generation.

Terry Paranych is a real estate legend. Over three decades in the business, he’s sold more than 12,000 homes, earned over $50 million, and became the #1 RE/MAX agent in the world. Beyond sales, he built a real estate empire by applying old-school fundamentals and modern marketing — and by following the one rule most agents ignore: become your own best client.

In this first episode of AJ Unfiltered, AJ Hazzi sits down with Terry to unpack the playbook behind his $50M empire and his lessons for today’s realtors. This is raw, unfiltered wisdom — from branding and lead generation to wealth building and mindset.
