Most real estate agents are using AI the same way — writing listing descriptions and searching for answers. That's barely scratching the surface.

In this episode I sit down with Scott Tolar — active agent, former broker owner, Glover U coach, and one of the most committed AI advocates in the real estate space. Scott has logged over 7,000 one-on-one coaching conversations with agents and has been leading the AI conversation at conferences long before it became the main points from stage.

We get into the real actionable tactics in this episode. How to use AI to actually run your business, buy back your time, and deliver a better client experience. Scott shares the exact tools and workflows he's using right now — including how he analyzed 17 offers in 3 minutes using Gemini.

What we cover:

• The 4 main AI platforms and how to use each one differently
• How Otter AI in every appointment makes you a better agent overnight
• Building AI agents that work for you 24/7 in the background
• How to get better outputs — stop prompting AI like a search engine
• Scott's live case study: 17 offers analyzed, ranked, and spreadsheet-ready in 3 minutes

If you're still on the fence about AI or using it but not getting real value out of it, this one is worth your full attention.

The Collapse of Vancouver’s Pre-Construction Market

Vancouver’s once-booming pre-construction market is now in crisis. Pre-sales have dropped by more than 50%, developers are cancelling or converting projects, and billions in provincial revenue are at risk.

In this episode of Manning Up On Real Estate, Cameron breaks down:

• Why presales have collapsed across Metro Vancouver

• The ripple effects on jobs, GDP, and government revenue

• How stalled projects today could cause a severe housing shortage by 2027

• Why developers are pushing back against government policies

• What this means for agents, buyers, and investors right now

This isn’t just about real estate — it’s about affordability, stability, and the long-term future of housing in BC.
