AI is one of the most used terms in any industry this year. It’s developing fast. If you’re a real estate agent you’re going to fall into one of two buckets - those that are going to be much more efficient or those that are going to be left behind. At the FUBCON conference, I spoke with Barry Jenkins and Howard Tager. Barry runs a top-producing team in Virginia Beach. He’s written an Amazon best-selling book about real estate and he’s the resident realtor expert at Ylopo. Howard is the founder and CEO of Ylopo. He started Tiger Leads, which was the first all-in-one tech platform for real estate, and was sold to realtor dot com.
