How We Built BKeeperAI: AI-Powered Expense Tracking for Real Estate Agents & Solopreneurs

Most startup conversations happen after the success. This one's different. I'm sitting down with my two BKeeperAI co-founders, Laura O'Connor and Eric Hunsberger, right in the middle of our launch. We get into where the idea actually came from (it starts with a box of receipts and a lot of dread), why we built an expense tool with no app to open — just text — and the one thing we decided we'd never compromise on, even though it costs more: real human support. We also talk about the decision we debated longer than anyone would guess, the difference between tension and conflict on a founding team, and what success actually looks like 12 months from now. If you've ever wanted to build something - or you just dread tax season - this take a listen.

SEO for Real Estate Agents: What Actually Works (and What Doesn't) in 2026

SEO might be the most misunderstood topic in real estate marketing, and honestly, a lot of what you've heard about it is either wrong or already outdated. In this episode, Christine sits down with Emily Gertenbach, a content writer and SEO expert who has a lot to say about what's actually working in search right now and a lot to say about AI. They break down what SEO really is in easy-to-understand terms, why your blog is more critical than ever, and what Google just said that essentially debunked the entire concept of "GEO" as a separate strategy. Emily also explains why AI-generated content is likely hurting your search performance rather than helping it, and what to do instead.

Why Successful Real Estate Agents Master Both Online and Offline Marketing

Real estate success isn't about choosing between old-school and new-school; it's about blending both. In this episode, Christine sits down with Angie Javier, national speaker and content creator at realtor.com, to talk about what separates thriving agents from struggling ones in today's market.

Her answer to what agents most commonly get wrong? They're either fully offline or fully online, and that split is costing them business. In this conversation, you'll hear how to build a marketing plan that actually motivates you, why your bio needs to be optimized not just for clients but for AI, the difference between GEO and AEO (and why every agent needs to know it), and why the most successful agents never let technology replace the human touch.
