Episode 199 - Smart Agents Will Start Doing These 3 things in 2026

Smart agents in 2026 will do three things differently: show up in AI search, move with real-time facts, and act fast.

Buyers and sellers aren’t just Googling anymore. They’re asking AI who the best agent is and when to make a move. If you’re not visible there, you’re already behind.

In this episode of Cut to the Chase, we break down how AI is already driving appraisals, why digital profiles matter more than signboards, and how speed and systems now decide who wins negotiations.

No jargon. No fluff. Just real talk on how smart agents stay ahead and how sellers protect their price.
