You don’t need to be a tech expert to use AI, you just need to start.

On this episode you’ll hear about:

• The real-world ways AI helps agents close more deals
• How to use AI to train, communicate, and compete at a higher level
• Building confidence with tech that supports your business, not replaces it

SEO can feel intimidating, but Eric Engelbert makes it simple. In this episode of /RealEstate, we explore how Eric uses small, repeatable steps to win in a competitive market.

You’ll hear how Eric:

• Creates neighborhood-specific content that ranks above generic pages
• Uses schema and breadcrumbs to help Google trust his site
• Keeps site speed fast to avoid losing leads
• Relies on AI to draft market reports and update site code

What stands out is Eric’s focus on consistency. Instead of spreading himself thin with every marketing trend, he doubled down on writing his weekly housing report. Combined with smart use of AI, that one habit has positioned him as a trusted authority for Orange County real estate.

You’ll learn:

Most real estate agents think the best way to grow is to say “yes” to every opportunity. Condos, luxury homes, commercial, rentals—you name it. But the truth? That approach keeps you stuck, forgettable, and constantly chasing business.

• Learn why referrals come faster when you’re the go-to expert.

• Hear real examples of agents who grew by focusing.

• Discover how to audit your brand so clients instantly know what you stand for.

If you’re ready to stop blending in and start standing out, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
