How to Build a Retirement-Ready Real Estate Business with AI w/ Glennda Baker
Oct 21, 2025Most agents are a little freaked out by AI, but here’s the truth: it’s not here to replace the real estate professional. It’s here to replace inefficiency.
For years, real estate has rewarded the agents who grind harder, not smarter. The ones who show up earlier, stay up later, and never stop hustling. But the next wave of top producers will be the ones who out-automate everyone else.
When most agents hear “AI,” they think job loss. But what if it’s actually the key to something real estate’s never offered: predictable income and real financial freedom? What if it’s the missing link between chaos and consistency in your business?
How do we lean into AI and leverage it to run profitable businesses? I was featured on Atlanta real estate broker Glennda Baker’s show, Glennda’s Gurus.
We talked about how to build a retirement-ready business in a field that doesn’t even have pensions. We also discussed how to use AI to scale your brand and influence, and why fear is the biggest wealth killer in real estate right now.
We’ve been using AI for many years, but companies have been charging us for it. Now we have the choice to use these tools to increase our income, return on investment, and return on time for free. -Marki Lemons Ryhal
