I am fired up! Big things are coming with BoldTrail + Buffini mode. If you couldn't join us live last week check out the recording of our webinar here: https://lnkd.in/g3xZFSmd Thanks for the great conversation Brian Buffini, Darin Dawson, Julia Laurin, Michael Park, Buffini & Company
Speed is the baseline in today's AI landscape. What actually sets a tech partner apart is what's underneath: years of real estate-specific data, compliance infrastructure, and production capability built to scale. That's what our Chief Product Officer Julia Laurin, and Chief Technology Officer, Nate Divine, are unpacking here... and why the question "can't someone just out-AI you?" has a more nuanced answer than it might seem. Worth a watch if you're thinking through what to look for in an AI partner right now.
Love this short piece by our CEO, Joe Skousen written for Real Estate News today. Hear his thoughts on what it really takes to build tools agents will actually use ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gUgBQkdq
⚡ This one has me fired up! Last week at Unite 2026, Brian Buffini joined me on stage to officially announce our partnership between Inside Real Estate and Buffini & Company — and the reaction from the room said everything. BoldTrail + Buffini Mode distills an agent's pipeline down to the highest-intent signals and tells them exactly what to do next — not a report to analyze, a cue to act. The results speak for themselves: 2.5x productivity gains and three times more conversations per lead. Pair that with thirty years of Buffini coaching, and you've addressed both sides of what drives growth: technology removes the friction, coaching builds the habit.

Streams was built with our clients, not just for them. A passionate team. Real conversations. And a genuine commitment to building something that actually fits an agent's life. This is what that process looked like behind the scenes. Have you downloaded Streams for BoldTrail yet?

Power Players, indeed. ⚡ Congratulations to our CEO, Joe Skousen, and Chief Strategy Officer, Grier Allen, on being named Inman Power Players for 2026. This year feels like a real inflection point for the industry. AI accelerating, pressure mounting, and expectations rising. With that comes more complexity, but also more opportunity to build what actually matters. We’re never been more energized by the challenges ahead and confident in the team, the vision, and the customers we’re building alongside. 🔥 2026 is shaping up to be a year of real momentum.
AI-powered home search is well on its way to becoming the new standard. And we're not surprised! (We've been building toward this since launching HomeSearch AI with BoldTrail last year.) But being early only matters if it's working. So we did what any outcomes-obsessed team would do: we looked at the data. 50,000 real home searches. Our own AI performance metrics. This report includes some of the key trends: where buyer search is heading, and how AI-powered search is actually moving the needle for agents. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eHEaZFFM And spoiler: we're just getting started. There's more in the pipeline, and as always, it'll be built around outcomes, not flash. Stay tuned.
🏔️ Last week we gathered in Salt Lake City for our annual strategic kickoff — and it was a reminder of what makes this team so special: people who bring big ideas, big energy, and a shared commitment to our clients. We’re excited for what’s ahead and ready to keep building tools and experiences that help real estate professionals thrive. Here’s to a year of momentum, teamwork, and next-level impact. 🔥 Let's do this!
