Closing Arguments: Who's Who at the Closing Table

Georgia is one of only about 11 states where an attorney's office -- not a title company -- runs the closing and controls the money. That makes the closing attorney's office a mystery to plenty of clients, and more than a few agents. This week Cheryl and Maura go back to basics -- who's who from the pre-closer to the closer, and who the closing attorney actually represents.&nbsp;<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Working Smarter: A Tool, Not a Replacement - AI in Your Real Estate Business

Everyone's asking about AI -- but do agents actually know what they're asking for? In this episode, Maura and Cheryl get real about what AI tools can and can't do for your real estate business. From practical use cases (hello, 75-page HOA documents) to the compliance landmines you need to avoid -- including a big one specific to Georgia -- this conversation covers how to use AI as a first draft, not a final answer. Plus, why prompting matters more than most agents realize, and why the skills that make you great at this job are still the ones no AI can replace.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Working Smarter: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Real estate teams come in all shapes and sizes -- and the model that works for one agent might be the wrong fit for another. In this episode, Maura and Cheryl walk through the different ways teams are structured today, what agents should consider before joining one, and what it really takes to build and lead a team of your own. Whether you're flying solo and wondering if it's time to grow, or you've been approached about joining a team, this episode will help you ask the right questions before you make the leap.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
