[T]echnology: Yes, Claude Again. This Time It’s Doing the Job.
Alright. Third week in a row talking about Claude.
That’s because this is the week it crossed a line. ❌
What people are calling Clawdbot is Claude running as an operator, not a chatbot. It doesn’t just tell you what’s happening. It takes that information and executes.
For agents, that changes everything.
Clawdbot can: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
• Monitor rates, housing news, and local market data, then write and send a client email without you touching it
• Take that same data and schedule 10 social posts across the week automatically
• Turn it into a blog post for your website or monthly newsletter
• Watch your market and decide when something is worth communicating versus when it’s noise
• Take listing notes and publish MLS remarks, social content, and follow up emails in one workflow
• Read inspection or showing feedback and send a clean client update on your behalf
• Keep running while you’re in appointments instead of waiting for instructions
• Build tools when something doesn’t exist instead of you duct taping software together
The key difference is this. ⬇️
You’re not asking it to help.
You’re letting it run the process.
Once it knows your market, your voice, and your preferences, it stops asking what to do next. It just does it.
That’s why people are losing their minds over this. 🤯
Not because it’s smarter.
Because it removes decisions.
Most agents won’t use this today. It’s early. It’s raw. It’s a little scary.
But this is the direction every CRM, MLS, and marketing platform is heading. AI that doesn’t wait. AI that executes.
So yes. Claude again.
Because this is the moment it stopped being a chatbot and started looking like leverage.
Now excuse me while I go install this on an old computer 🥴

[E]ducation: 2026 Predictions
Every year, we get a flood of predictions.
Most are noise. 🔈
A few quietly explain why your business feels harder than it used to.
Two themes stood out because they explain the why, not just the what.
The first is that execution is being automated, not assisted.
For years, technology helped agents prepare. It drafted emails.
Suggested posts. Flagged reminders. The agent still decided when to act and manually pushed everything forward.
That assumption is breaking. ⛓️💥
We’re now seeing AI systems that run persistently outside the chat box (see above), with access to tools, memory, and APIs, allowing them to monitor information and take action without waiting for prompts. Market and rate changes don’t just get summarized anymore. They turn into client emails, scheduled social posts, and published updates automatically, without an agent opening a document or deciding what to send.
This matters because the constraint in an agent’s business is shifting. It’s no longer an effort or even a time consuming process. It’s judgment. The agent who wins isn’t the one doing more work. It’s the one who sets the rules before the system starts running. 🏃♀️
The second theme is that the industry isn’t adding tools. It’s collapsing steps.
Search, financing, touring, offers, and closing used to be separate actions. Today, they’re being stitched together into single workflows designed to remove pauses and handoffs entirely.
Zillow isn’t positioning itself as a listing site anymore. It’s building toward an end-to-end consumer experience where discovery, touring, financing, and offers all live inside one system.
When steps collapse, systems that wait feel slow, even if they’re powerful. Systems that act feel effortless. Control shifts away from individual tasks and toward whoever owns the workflow end-to-end.
The takeaway is simple.
The future isn’t about knowing more tools. 🛠️
It’s about understanding who controls execution, who owns the workflow, and where your leverage actually lives.
Technology doesn’t change the rules overnight.
But it absolutely changes who wins when it does.
This is why systems matter more than apps.

[C]oaching: Healing and Reaching Out
No joke, I had surgery yesterday. 😢
Nothing crazy, routine hernia repair.
Am I sore today? Yes.
Do I want to talk on the phone? No. ❌
However, even last night I reached out to a few people I haven’t spoken with in quite some time. Just to check in.
I’m not selling them anything.
I’m literally just reaching out to reconnect.
This happened to me last week, when an old friend Dane Maxwell, founder of Paperless Pipeline reached out. He’s been an incredible resource over the years. He introduced me to Dan Corkill when Dan started Follow Up Boss and I became it’s first user.
I reached out to Dane a few months ago to ask some questions about my office AI Victoria. That simple conversation led me to burn Victoria to the ground and start over with toryOS.com (or Victoria 2.0).
He reached out to me to see how Victoria was going, unaware of his impact on my decision to start over. This led to a fantastic conversation on Saturday evening. 💬
Two people just talking. Is there potential to work together in the future? Sure, but that wasn’t the objective.
The objective was to connect. Dane prayed for me and my surgery. Yes, we talk occasionally, but we’ve never had that sort of relationship. You have no idea how much that meant to me, Dane.
Most agents think staying in touch means having something to say or sell.
It doesn’t. ❌
The strongest relationships in your business aren’t built when you need something. They’re built in the quiet moments when you don’t.
Text someone you haven’t talked to in a while.
Check in without an agenda.
Be a human first.
You have no idea which conversation will turn into encouragement, clarity, perspective, or an opportunity years down the road.
Not every connection leads to business.
But every business is built on connections. 🤝
And sometimes, the most meaningful ones show up exactly when you need them most.

[H]ow To: Navigate Crazy Headlines
We’ve seen a lot of real estate news making big headlines lately—the idea of a 50-year mortgage, action against institutional investors, and plenty of talk about interest rates. The first question people usually ask is, “How will this affect me?” 🤔
What often gets forgotten is that many of these ideas may not even happen and aren’t set in stone when they’re announced. That’s why it’s so important to get ahead of the headlines and the opinions surrounding them, and use your experience to help people understand what these headlines actually mean.
One of the most effective ways to do this is by breaking the information down in plain language. 🙊 Most headlines are written to grab attention, not to explain impact. When you take the time to translate what’s being said into real-life terms—like how it could affect monthly payments, buying power, or timing—it immediately makes the information more approachable and useful.
Providing context is just as important as explaining the headline itself. Many announcements are proposals, early discussions, or ideas being floated—not finalized decisions. ❌ Helping people understand where the information came from, who is involved, and whether anything has actually changed yet can prevent unnecessary fear or confusion.
Separating fact from speculation builds trust and positions you as a reliable source, not just another voice repeating the news.
It’s also critical to localize the conversation. National real estate news doesn’t always reflect what’s happening in a specific market. Sharing how—or if—these headlines apply locally gives people clarity and reassurance. Using real-life examples or client scenarios can further connect the dots, making abstract ideas feel tangible and relevant.
Finally, being transparent about what is still unknown goes a long way. 🤝
It’s okay to say something is developing while sharing what is known so far. When you invite questions and encourage conversation, you shift from simply reacting to headlines to guiding people through them—using your experience to help them understand what these stories actually mean for them.
