EP 126: How Agents Use AI as a Business Operating System

Welcome to Real Estate AI Flash, the podcast that helps agents, teams, and leaders understand how artificial intelligence is changing real estate and the strategies you can use to win. I'm your host, Rajiv Sajja. In today's episode, we explore how agents can move beyond using AI as a simple tool and start using it as a true business operating system. I'm joined by Felix Brauer, Managing Director of International Expansion at eXp Realty, who shares how he uses AI to scale communication, automate decision making, and build custom tools without a tech background. We discuss everything from creating a digital version of yourself and building AI-powered personal assistants to developing custom applications that solve real business problems and create a competitive advantage with the clients. If you've been using AI primarily for writing content or answering questions, this conversation will challenge you to think bigger about what's possible and how AI can help you scale your business without scaling complexity. Let's dig in with Felix. Welcome to episode 126. I can't believe it. We're already in the early June when you air this episode. Obviously, we're recording it a few weeks before. But today's guest comes to us from eXp International. He's the managing director of eXp International, Felix Bravo. He's also a real estate agent. So I love the perspective that he's going to have where he's Practicing as an agent, but also teaching agents how to become more efficient and the topic of AI. So Felix, welcome to the podcast.

Thank you, sir. So excited to be here. It's 126. That's quite the achievement.

Well, hey, look, there's so much we can share. And I'm glad, you know, I'm in many ways, I'm blessed to be at the corner of interviewing smart people like you and learning myself and sharing that wisdom with people, our listeners and listeners. email readers, etc. So if you're watching us on YouTube, Felix is sporting a hat, which is the new ticker symbol for eXp. And I got wind of that when, you know, Next Home and eXp came together and our acquisition. And I heard Leo on the podcast of doing so. But so if you're watching us on YouTube, you can see the hat

anyway. So Felix, we're starting to sell the hat for anyone. I love it, not just because, you know, I actually am a firm believer in what we're doing. And AG&T, I think, stands for something great. You know, we're building the agent platform, but I'm an AI nerd. And like when I wear this hat, I feel like a lot of my my AI friends are like, oh, is that like AI agent? That's what the hat stands for. Yeah, exactly. I got a little dual purpose out of it.

there it is yeah depending on who you talk to it'll resonate with both so um so felix before we begin i'd love for you to walk us through how you got into real estate and bring us to today
