   How Agents can Leverage AI Tools with Jeff Lobb

   This month’s episode of Decoding Real Estate is centered on a hot topic: Generative AI for real estate. Reggie and Genie from RPR® (Realtors Property Resource®) welcome special guest Jeff Lobb, founder and CEO of SparkTank media and Coach 52. Jeff brings over twenty-six years of real estate experience to the table, where he specializes in mobile tech branding, social media, video content creation and digital marketing. And for this conversation, he brings deep insight as a specialist who is experienced at marrying technology with real estate. Jeff and the DRE crew discuss generative AI ChatGPT tools and the impact they’re having on agents as individuals and the industry as a whole. Jeff explains that many of the tools being introduced, especially the Market Trends ScriptWriter from RPR, are so easy to use and have so many benefits, that not using them is a real missed opportunity. On the flip side, the group also talks about the concerns of relying on too much AI and how to avoid these pitfalls.

   Managing Climate Risk in Real Estate w/ Cal Inman

   RPR (Realtors Property Resource) recently introduced a new data set called ClimateCheck®. This integration allows REALTORS® to access and share a personalized climate risk rating and assessment for any property. Cal Inman, the founder and CEO of ClimateCheck, chats with Decoding Real Estate to give his insight and advice on how this valuable information can be used by home buyers and sellers, investors, brokers and commercial specialists. He stresses that ClimateCheck’s main goal is to arm agents with this data so they can help their clients understand the risks, protect themselves, and make more informed decisions. Cal also explains that as Millennials and more Gen Zs make up the bulk of the market, the more questions they’ll have about how climate affects housing. Mitigating these risks with suggested home improvements and giving free access to this data is, as Cal puts it, “another arrow in your quiver.” Decoding Real Estate is hosted by Reggie Nicolay and Genie Willett.
