The Current State of AI in Real Estate5:22 – 12:50

Mike HambrightHost

5:22

Yeah.

Mike HambrightHost

5:23

Yeah.

Mike HambrightHost

5:24

Awesome.

Mike HambrightHost

5:24

Well, let's let's talk about kind of AI.

Mike HambrightHost

5:27

What's going on? So maybe we could just talk at a high level of high level.

Mike HambrightHost

5:30

Like, what are you seeing right now? I want to dive into kind of marketing and we'll get into some specifics and even sales and like acquisitions.

Mike HambrightHost

5:37

But what are you seeing so far? Like where are we? What's the what is the state of the union right now on kind of state investors for marketing and sales, let's say?

Carlos ZamoraGuest

5:46

Yeah.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

5:46

And I love how you opened the interview, Mike.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

5:49

So I think right now at the end of the May, where we're at with AI is we've seen a lot of people the last couple months using OpenClaw and CloudCowork and people posting on Facebook saying like, hey, I built this, I built that.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:01

And Some people painted more of like a doomsday, like a Terminator type scenario of like, hey, AI is going to call all these jobs.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:09

There's going to be one to two person real estate companies where essentially you're going to be able to build out open call or AI agents essentially coming and doing that.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:16

That's been up until maybe the beginning of May.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:19

And it's been pretty cool having a lot of conversations with real estate investors.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:22

And Trevor predicted this a couple of months ago where we saw it's almost like a like a comeback really quick where, it's like all these people were super, super bullish on AI.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:32

And now even some people that are big on AI voice are coming back a little bit to reality and saying, hey, maybe this AI stuff isn't gonna take off just as much.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:40

We'll see if that keeps halting.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:41

But I think in general from a high level, and we can dive into like the marketing aspect and acquisition aspect for real estate.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:47

But I think that's where it's at right now where people are probably realizing like, hey, I can spend some time, I can spend my nights and weekends building a product or an agent that's 80 to 90% what I need.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

6:59

But I'm not going to get it across the finish line.

Carlos ZamoraGuest

7:01

And then at to what extent am I taking away my actual revenue generating activities or like what's making me money in the business to work on open claw or clawed co-work for hours at night? And am I taking time away from my family to do that? So it's like, is it the best use of your time? I think people are coming to that realization right now that it's not.

Mike HambrightHost

7:18

I think there's a couple things that I'm seeing.

Mike HambrightHost

7:20

One is, well, there's this, I guess, this hope out there for some people, and I don't have this, I don't share this, that I want to eliminate my whole team and just use AI, right? Like, I would say my team is triple at Investor Fuel.

Mike HambrightHost

7:33

I have a lot of different companies with Investor Fuel.

Mike HambrightHost

7:35

My team has gone from 12 to 40 in the past year and a half.
