The Future of Real Estate Marketing: Using AI to Stop the Scroll & Win More Listings

Are your listings sitting on the MLS with zero traction? In today’s episode, we are pulling back the curtain on the evolution of real estate and mortgage marketing. We’re moving beyond traditional virtual tours and diving into the high-sophistication strategies that top producers are using to survive and thrive during the recent market lull. My guest, Nancy Miller, and I break down how the game has changed. We discuss why you can’t just "let it fly" on the MLS anymore, and how we are using AI-driven cinematic video, custom property landing pages, and B-roll automation to grab attention in a crowded digital landscape. In this episode, we cover: * The AI Revolution in Real Estate: How we’re using AI to replace traditional B-roll and maintain character consistency to make property videos more enticing. * Breaking the Market Lull: Why listings are the secret key to moving out of a slow market and how we’ve helped generate over 30,000 views on a single luxury property. * The "Scroll-Stop" Strategy: Why your potential buyers are "self-discovering" properties instead of clicking links, and how to optimize your branding to capture that traffic. * Marketing Synergies: The power of collaboration between mortgage professionals and real estate agents to build momentum when the industry feels "daunting." * Building a Modern Blueprint: How to tailor landing pages to specific buyer avatars to increase show rates and conversion. If you are a Realtor or Loan Officer looking for actionable ways to integrate modern technology without feeling overwhelmed, this episode is your blueprint. We don’t just talk theory; we talk about the workflows that are actually getting offers in 2026.

ChatGPT Ads Just Opened: The Early-Mover Advantage Realtors Rarely Get Twice

Every time a new ad channel shows up, the same story plays out. A small group jumps in early. Everyone else hangs back. Two years later, the people who waited are the ones saying, "It's too expensive, it's too competitive, it doesn't work anymore." We've watched that happen with Google PPC. We've watched it happen with Meta. We've watched it happen with Zillow Premier Agent and Google Local Service Ads. We're back at that point again. This time, the platform is ChatGPT, and the self-serve Ads Manager is already live in the U.S. In this episode, Keith Goeringer breaks down exactly how realtors, lenders, and local service pros should approach ChatGPT ads while the "cheap attention" window is still open. You'll learn: •        Why ChatGPT is fundamentally different from Google, Meta, and Zillow, and why that matters for real estate decisions •        The three buyer stages (Awareness, Consideration, Decision) and the right offer to put in front of each •        How to set up your Ads Manager account at ads.openai.com without accidentally flagging yourself as an agency •        What "Context Hints" are, why they replace keywords, and how to write one that sounds like a real buyer/seller conversation •        The full path from ad to landing page to calendar to text to CRM to human follow-up to retargeting •        Three campaign examples you can plug in today: sellers, move-up buyers, and relocation buyers •        The single mistake that kills most new-platform campaigns (and how to avoid it) This isn't a hype episode. ChatGPT ads aren't a magic button. Bad ads will still flop, weak offers will still fail, and slow follow-up will still kill deals. But where you show up matters, and right now, you can show up inside the conversation a buyer or seller is having before they ever call an agent. If you're early, organized, and clear, you win. If you wait, you'll be the one paying full price two years from now

The Free Tool That Drops Your Buyer's First-Year Payment a Full Point

The ones who are, are closing more deals. What you'll learn: • Why waiting for rates to drop is costing your buyers money right now • What every major forecaster (Fannie Mae, MBA, NAR, Zillow) actually expects in 2026 • How to explain the 1-0 buydown to a buyer in under 60 seconds • Two negotiation moves that work in today's market • The free lender-paid window through June 30 and how to use it • How to handle the inevitable "what if rates don't drop" objection • The pre-approval Zoom that's helping Keith's agents win more deals Honest data.
