After a packed travel schedule, the duo sits down to unpack everything they learned at recent industry events and how those experiences are shaping the future of their leadership and their business.
Fresh off their trip to Austin for the Keller Williams Top Producer Mastermind, Jess and Erin share powerful insights on how artificial intelligence is transforming the real estate industry, how top agents are using AI tools to scale smarter, and why staying ahead of technology matters for long-term success in Southwest Florida’s evolving market.
Erin talks about her experience progressing through the CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) coursework and how the education is elevating her commercial real estate expertise, deal analysis, and investment strategy. Jess breaks down the biggest takeaways from “The One Thing” Summit—especially the importance of focus, clarity, and building habits that protect your energy.
