What if you could have a transaction coordinator working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, who never missed a deadline, never forgot an earnest money deposit, and proactively drafted your emails before you even thought to ask?

That is not a fantasy. That is Subi.

In this episode of AI Agent Advantage, JMan sits down with Michelle Schubert, founder and CEO of Subi, to break down one of the most impressive AI tools in the real estate space right now. Michelle is not your typical tech founder. She is a Division I athlete, a global missions worker, an international economic development consultant, and yes, a Survivor and American Ninja Warrior competitor. She built Subi because she saw what was happening to agents in the field and knew there was a better way.

Here is what you will learn in this episode:

1: What Subi actually does and why real estate agents are signing up at a 100% conversion rate when it is demonstrated live
2: The difference between a proactive AI and a reactive tool, and why that difference changes everything about how you manage transactions
3: How Subi uses natural language interface so that if you know how to talk, you can use the platform
4: The upcoming universal document processor and universal integration that will connect Subi to any tool in your existing tech stack
5: Why the Wise Agent and Subi integration coming in the next quarter is a game-changer for agents already using a CRM
6: Michelle's single best tip for anyone just getting started with AI

This is not a future-state conversation. Subi is live. Agents are using it today. And by the end of this episode, you will know exactly how to get started.

If you've invested in a CRM and wonder whether it's actually moving the needle on your business, this episode is for you.

JMan sits down with Brandon Wise, co-founder and CEO of Wise Agent, one of the most trusted real estate CRMs in the country, to talk about what a CRM actually is, what it should be doing for your business, and how the AI tools built inside it are changing the way top agents convert leads and stay top of mind.

Brandon shares the story behind Wise Agent, which started as a napkin idea born out of real-estate overwhelm, and has outlasted almost every competitor by focusing on one thing the industry keeps forgetting: human relationships backed by smart systems.

In this episode you'll learn:
1: How Wise Agent's AI writing assistant lets you build hyper-specific drip campaigns for every buyer and seller profile in minutes
2: How the AI lead follow-up bot contacts new leads by text, listens to their responses, and keeps nurturing them for up to a full year, then hands them off to you when they're ready
3: Why 100-year-old leads in your database might be worth more than you think
4: How to categorize contacts by interests, hobbies, and life events to build relationships that feel personal at scale
5: The one thing the most successful CRM users do every single morning
6: Why your database might be your most valuable retirement asset

If you're tired of technology that makes you look busy without actually building your business, this conversation will change how you think about your CRM.

Guest Bio

Brandon Wise is the co-founder and CEO of Wise Agent CRM, a real estate contact relationship management platform he built after working as an agent in Scottsdale, Arizona. Overwhelmed by the complexity of the business and worried about staying organized enough to avoid legal liability, Brandon sketched the idea for Wise Agent on a napkin alongside his future CTO. More than 20 years later, Wise Agent has outlasted dozens of competitors by focusing on customer relationships over feature bloat, and by being, as Brandon puts it, the only technology company in real estate that actually answers its phone. Brandon is a frequent speaker and advocate for using AI to create more human time in the business, not less.

Your database isn't empty — it's full of listings going to other agents.

A case study of 500,000 contacts in aged real estate databases revealed a brutal truth: agents were closing only 7% of transactions from within their own database. That means 93% of the people you already know, have already worked with, or have in your CRM — listed with someone else.

In this episode of AI Agent Advantage, JMan sits down with Chris Drayer, co-founder of Revaluate, the AI-powered predictive analytics platform that helps real estate agents identify exactly who in their existing database is most likely to move — and when.

Chris has spent 20 years in the data and rating industry, has lived in eight states, and built Revaluate around one powerful idea: you don't need more leads. You need better data.

What You'll Learn
Why deleting "messy" contacts from your database is costing you transactions
The 4-field contact record that makes predictive analytics actually work
How Revaluate's life-event signals (the 'D's) predict who will move in the next 6–24 months
The one conversation script that uncovers a contact's hidden motivation to move
How to use Revaluate scores inside tools like Wise Agent to trigger automated nurture campaigns
Why AI isn't coming for your job — but it is coming for your commission
