What Bruce, Bill, and the EPM community share in this  coaching call will save you hours of trial and error. If you’re a probate real estate specialist, watch these AI tips and hacks to working smarter, staying organized, and using AI the right way.

As much as we’d all love to say hard work wins the game, the truth is this: AI is one of those rare tools that gives you tons of hours back. Think of AI as the puppet and you’re the puppeteer. The real magic happens when you guide it with your expertise and creativity. Leveraging AI won’t replace you, but it will help you move forward faster, free up your time, and build the assets your probate business needs to grow.
Here’s what you’ll learn from this coaching call  (timestamps included):

0:13 – The hidden pros and cons of letting Gemini access your emails, and why individuality still wins in probate real estate.

4:29 – How Bruce uses ChatGPT to turn cold mail into warm conversations and build vendor lists in record time.

9:34 – $7/hr Pipeline Hack: Testing callers and VAs to add 2–3 new probate prospects to your list every day.

13:57 – Should heirs use escrow for repairs before selling? The math most specialists ignore.

25:00 – Why over-improving probate homes can destroy your sale price (and what experienced investors do instead).

44:28 –  What you’re really buying from All The Leads and Foreclosure Daily.

56:37 –A smarter approach to working pre-probate data before wasting time or money.

If you’re a probate real estate specialist, these strategies will help you  save hours of manual work, and stay ahead of the competition using AI and smart systems.

You're doing your best to build your probate real estate business, but deep down, something still feels off.

You've done the research. You’ve skimmed some of these coaching calls. You know more than enough to get started.

But when it’s time to actually *put it all together…*make the calls, say the right words, stay consistent…it feels like you’re stuck in the noise.

It’s not a lack of information.

It’s the list of to-dos piling up.

The distractions.

The pressure of doing this part-time while juggling everything else.

And suddenly, even with everything in front of you… It still feels hard to move.

Not because you're not capable, but because you need a structure you can return to.

In this behind-the-scenes Q&A-style podcast, Bruce Hil, together with industry experts in the EPM community, such as Bill Gross and Matthew, walks through how real estate agents and investors can stop overthinking and start executing. This is practical, unfiltered advice from people who’ve built probate businesses from the ground up.
