Hello SW Region Leaders and Associates,

When’s the last time you Googled yourself? 
Or asked ChatGPT to tell you what it knows about you? (Careful… it might spill the tea! )

Here’s the deal: your online presence is working for you 24/7 — but only if it’s accurate and up to date. We’ve found that many agents have outdated info floating around, and some even have profiles sending clients to generic links that lead to… nowhere.

That means missed calls. Missed leads. Missed closings. 

 Your mission: Audit your online presence this week!

Here’s your checklist to keep clients finding YOU — not someone else:

• Phone number (still yours, right?)
• Email address
• Primary website
• Social media links

Places to check (and double-check):

• Your KW Marketing Profile (foundation for Command & your KW site)
• KW website
• Facebook + Facebook Business Page
• LinkedIn
• Instagram
• X (formerly Twitter)
• Homes.com
• Zillow
• Realtor.com
• Google Business Page

 Pro Tip: Even if you think you don’t have a profile somewhere — search your name + “real estate” in Google. You may find pages you didn’t know existed.

The longer you wait to clean up and update your info, the more future business you could be losing.

So grab your coffee , block 30 minutes , and make sure your clients can find you — fast.

 Your future closings will thank you. 

Hello SW Region Leaders and Associates,
The right tax strategy is a business growth strategy. You’ve worked hard to build a thriving real estate business—don’t leave money on the table come tax season.

Many agents miss out on legitimate deductions simply because no one ever gave them a clear, real-estate-specific list of what can be written off. That ends today.

We’ve created a downloadable Write-Off Checklist for Real Estate Agents, inspired by Alchemy of Money, so you can easily track expenses and save more of what you earn.

 Bonus: Smart Year-End Moves to Cut Your 2025 Tax Bill 

(These aren’t write-offs—they’re power moves!)

 Prepay Expenses – Pay for software, rent, or coaching before Dec 31 to lock in deductions now.

 Review Your Mileage Log – Make sure every showing, closing, and inspection is tracked (apps like MileIQ help!).

 Upgrade Your Tech Stack – A new phone, laptop, or camera = business tools that also reduce your tax bill.

 Invest in Professional Services – Strengthen your bookkeeping or get tax strategy support before year-end.

Hello SW Region Leaders and Associates,

One small shift in the way you speak about a home can completely change how your clients connect with it.

$500K agents sell the house.
$2M agents sell the outcome. 

Your language matters. The way you describe a home creates an emotional connection — and that’s what truly moves clients.

See the examples in the graphics below.

Takeaway:
Clients aren’t just buying square footage — they’re buying a life.

 Try practicing this shift in your next client conversation and notice the difference it makes.

How to Be the Only Realtor AI Recommends
(Before Your Competition Figures It Out)

Hello SW Region Leaders & Associates,
If you think you’re still marketing to humans first, you’re already two steps behind.

 AI search engines are running the show: ChatGPT, Perplexity, and now even Google’s AI results.

They’re deciding who shows up, who gets recommended, and who gets forgotten.

 If you’re not popping up when your future client types “best Realtor near me,” then someone else is.
 And they’re getting your listings.

Let’s make sure that never happens again.

 What Is AI Search?

It’s not Google 2.0. It’s a whole new way people are finding info (and that includes real estate agents).

AI search doesn’t give you a list of links anymore. It gives full-blown answers, recommends businesses, and suggests agents based on what it knows about them.

 If AI doesn’t know you, it’s recommending someone else.

 This isn’t coming soon. It’s happening NOW.

 Realtors Who Ignore AI Search Engines Are In For A Rude Awakening!

If you want:
 More listings
 More inbound calls
 More “I found you online” leads
 Less cold-calling and begging for business

…you have no choice. You must show up in AI searches.

It’s not about being “good enough.”
It’s about being the only name AI knows to recommend.

 5 Steps to Get on AI’s Radar

 Daily Content = Daily Clients in the AI Era

The agents winning in the AI era post like real people, not robots. Daily content can include:

• Local market updates
• Quick tips for buyers and sellers
• Short how-to posts

 Pro Tip: Every time a client asks you a question this week, turn it into a blog post. AI will index it, summarize it, and start treating you like the expert you are.

 Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Ranked

Video isn’t optional anymore. It’s mandatory, across ALL platforms!

AI reads your captions, listens to your words, and ranks you higher if you’re consistent.

 Pro Tip: Use an AI-powered video editor like the Captions App so your videos are fully readable. Silent videos = invisible to AI.

 Traditional SEO is Dead

Keyword stuffing is dead. AI is smarter than that.

 What works now:

• Long-tail & local keywords that sound real (“first-time buyer in Orlando”)
• Linking to legit sources (gov’t stats, trusted sites)
• Speaking with confidence like the authority you are

 Pro Tip: Rewrite your bio like you’re answering:
“Why should AI bet on YOU instead of anyone else?”

 Feed AI Your Story

If AI doesn’t have clear, credible data about you, then it’s skipping right past you.

Here’s how to fix that:

• Upload blogs and bios to sites that train AI (Bing directly impacts ChatGPT Search)
• Set up automations to push your newest listings + reviews to AI platforms
• Create your own branded AI chatbot (yes—you can literally have a bot selling you 24/7)

AI Trusts What People Trust

Credibility is everything now. AI boosts names it sees quoted, shared, and cited.

 Ways to build trust:

• Get quoted in the local news
• Be a guest on podcasts
• Swap backlinks with trusted local businesses (photographers, lenders, stagers)

 Pro Tip: Even 3–5 solid citations can rocket you up in AI’s “trusted recommendations.”

The Bottom Line: You’re Either Discoverable or Disposable

In 2025, being invisible to AI = being invisible to clients.

 The choice is simple: Be discoverable or be disposable.

 Accelerate Your Growth: Interview a Millionaire

Hello SW Region Leaders and Associates,

Are you interested in accelerating your growth to reach your goals faster?
Excellent! We’re now going to discuss a way to do just that and to get you even more inspired.

A proven way to expand your mind, and to think bigger, is to talk to and be around more people who have achieved a level of success that you admire and may inspire you—people that you view as more successful in business than you, such as a millionaire (or even a billionaire if you really want to be bold!).

The great news is they can be in any business or industry, and what is amazing is how much you can learn from them, and how willing they are to share their secrets with you when you are willing to just ask.

 Here’s the process to get started:

 1. Call the successful person you would like to talk with and ask them if you could schedule a time to meet to ask them some questions about how they became so successful. You could mention that you admire what they’ve done and you feel that what you would learn from them would help you to grow personally and professionally in your business.

 2. Be prepared with your questions when you call to schedule a time to speak with them, because it’s possible that since you actually reached them, they may have 20–30 minutes to speak with you right then and might offer that option. As you already know, successful people often like to get things done, rather than put them off, which provides you with that possibility. Be prepared!

 3.  If you have difficulty identifying a successful person to speak with, ask your Team Leader, Operating Partner, Regional Director, a fellow associate, or anyone else you know who they know that’s successful that you can contact to speak with. Get their permission when they give you their contact information to be able to mention that they referred them to you.

 Here is a list of suggested questions to ask:

 What do you do for a living? How did you get started in this business?
 What have been your biggest challenges getting to where you are today?
 What process did you use to overcome your challenges along the way to create your success?
 What one word would you use to describe yourself that you believe has contributed the most to your success? What makes you say that?
 What is the most important thing in your life? What’s important about that? When did you first realize this? How has this influenced your life decisions?
 What would you say is your greatest fear? What do you think makes it that way?
 What has been your greatest accomplishment thus far in life? What makes it significant to you? What did you do? How did that make you feel?
 What advice would you give to someone like me if your intention is to help them be more successful in their business and in their life?
 If there was something you feel you would have done differently in your business or life, what would that be? What makes you feel that way?
 What gives you the most satisfaction in life? What makes it so satisfying?
 Who are the 3 people in your life who have had the most impact on who you are today? What is it about them that causes you to feel that way? How have they influenced who you are and what you have done in your life?
 What is the name of the best book you’ve ever read? What makes it the best book? What way did it influence your life?
 Do you have any last thoughts you would like to share with me that we haven’t discussed?

Thank you for being so generous with your time today. I really appreciate your time and want you to know this has been extremely insightful. I promise I will pay it forward when someone asks me for my input and assistance in the future.
