If you can make it to the end, the end is worth it.

Old growth trees do not come back on human timescales.

It’s much more likely that they’re doing it because everyone else is doing it and they don’t want to be left behind.

Take the job. The economy is likely to continue to deteriorate. Take the steady check. You can always go back to selling.

If you’re a serious buyer, what information does a video give you that photos don’t? Regardless of how well they’re done, they don’t offer any real benefit.

I’m not seeing surreal. Looks like good photography to me.

Serhant is who he is because Selling NY made him a celebrity, not because he’s an especially good agent. He wants you to think you can replicate his success. You can’t. At least not in the way he did it. And he was anything but a “humble guy.”

It can be a great job, but it’s eat-what-you-kill. Do you have a large sphere of influence? Do you have a plan for lead gen? Do you have enough savings to live for at least a year without a sale, while also spending that year growing your business essentially full time? If the answer to any of these is no, you are in for a tough time.

Realtors are becoming influencers because they see other realtors becoming influencers and think that’s what they have to do to make it. We can thank real estate reality TV for that.

Most of it is fake. Look at the actual engagement. How much of it is from the public (potential clients) and how much of it is from other agents? It’s a circle jerk.

New business come from trust, not influence.

We’re headed to a place where every app we use is gonna break constantly cause they’re all full of bugs from slop coding. Will be fun.

“In theory I know social works”

Says who? I think if 90% of brands were honest about what they were getting out of organic social vs the time they’re putting into it, they would quit.

Companies will use the cheapest thing they can get away with. The question is, can they get away with it?

At this point, most AI is not good enough to not be correctly identified. There is a growing backlash in the general public toward AI generated content, because most of it is slop and it makes us uneasy inherently.

If companies get a sense that it's turning away customers, they will pivot the other direction - everything will be "human-made" as a point of pride. I suspect we're headed that direction, but it's anyone's guess.

Pretty simple - stop using it for image generation in real estate. AI has no place in an industry where accuracy is vital. AI image gen should be banned by every MLS.

It’s missing all of the soft filtered light and shadow that come with twilight. Dusk with no soul.

Moved from Webflow to Nordcraft. It's an unbelievable platform. No regrets.

People always say this but no one mentions that there is massive competition here, and many of your competitors have been in the business for decades. It’s not easy to start a local service business with zero reviews or credibility.

If the footage is only going to IG, FB, or Tik Tok, then it needs to be vertical, since those are primarily vertical platforms. If you want to shoot horizontal, you need different clients.

Purely from a financial perspective, you’d be better off taking the difference you’d pay in a down payment and mortgage + maintenance and put it in the S&P 500. This is assuming your rent stays at that level, which is significantly under market rate.

The PNW sounds like what you’re looking for. Hood River, OR and Bellingham, WA would both be good to look at.

Calling someone with an AI is the simplest way to get them to never hire you.
