From Chef to Top Realtor: What Actually Works in Real Estate

Is AI actually coming for real estate… or is that just hype? In this NEW episode of the Get Real Estate podcast, Latane Meade sits down with Conor Sullivan of Sullivan Brownell Partners to break down what’s really changing in today’s market, and what isn’t. From AI tools to Zillow predictions, there’s a lot of noise about the future of real estate. Conor shares why this industry is still built on relationships, trust, and real expertise—and why technology isn’t replacing top agents anytime soon. After nearly two decades in the business (and starting during the 2008 crash), he brings a perspective most agents simply don’t have. The conversation dives into what actually drives success: negotiation strategy, market knowledge, and understanding people. Conor explains why going “cheap” on commission can cost sellers more in the long run, and how experienced agents consistently outperform DIY approaches. Plus, a wild real-life story that proves why title insurance matters: a home was torn down… only to discover the seller didn’t fully own it. Without proper coverage, that situation could have been financially devastating.
