Thom Tillier was born in Florida, built a life in Michigan, earned his eXp ICON status twice, then started over on purpose. Moved back to Florida, knew nobody, and rebuilt from zero. Now he has earned his eXp ICON status twice, he started over on purpose. What he discovered is something he wishes he had done every day he was in Michigan.

He calls it Start Over on Purpose. The hunger we bring to a new market -- meeting builders, shaking hands with city officials, exploring neighborhoods like a tourist -- is the same energy we should bring to the market we already live in. Complacency is the enemy. Curiosity is the weapon.

We get into:
 🚀 What it means to start over on purpose
 🏡 How Thom rebuilt his Tampa Bay business from zero
 💡 The habits agents lose when they get comfortable in their market
 🤝 Why digging in like a newcomer changes everything
 🏆 Two time eXp ICON -- what it takes and what it means

This one will make you want to leave the house and go shake some hands.

AI isn’t coming to real estate. It’s already here.

The question is no longer whether real estate professionals should use AI. The question is whether we’re actually using it to build a better business—or just playing with new technology.

On this episode of The Elite Real Estate Podcast, Jimmy Nelson breaks down one of the biggest conversations happening in the industry right now: Artificial Intelligence and the future of the real estate professional.

Using recent research and conversations coming from the National Association of REALTORS®, we’re digging into 5 things every real estate professional needs to understand about AI right now:

1. The AI Results Gap — Why are agents using AI but many still aren't seeing measurable business results? 
2. Agentic AI — What happens when AI goes beyond answering questions and starts completing actual workflows? 
3. AI vs. the REALTOR® — Is AI going to replace agents, or make great agents even more valuable? 
4. The AI Danger Zone — Fair Housing, privacy, hallucinations, fraud, compliance and the risks agents can't ignore. 
5. The AI-Powered Consumer — What happens when buyers and sellers have access to the same powerful AI tools we do? 

The future isn't Human vs. AI.

It's Human + AI.

Technology can make us faster. It can make us more efficient. It can analyze information, automate tasks and eliminate hours of busywork.

But relationships. Judgment. Negotiation. Advocacy. Emotional intelligence. Trust.

That's still human.

And the real estate professionals who learn how to combine the two may have an enormous advantage in the next era of this business.
