Editor's Note
As much as AI is helping me automate and scale, I’m still human, and last week there was no Real Estate AI FEED drop, and I missed my Wednesday drop this week.
I was teaching last week and had some fires to put out, but I'm back at it again. Maybe next week, I will drop two feeds; let’s see ...
In this issue, I’ll cover the most recent AI Real Estate news, and then next week, we'll return to our regularly scheduled program.
In other exciting news, VIVO Labs is currently developing our Repair Analyzer Pro SaaS tool, as well as other innovative AI Real Estate tools.
We are also launching (officially) our Beta Convert 360Pro platform, curated for REALTORS® with AI Agents.
