In this episode, my guest is Nick Aufenkamp of The Real Brokerage about using AI as a second brain for business decisions, negotiations, and client service. Nick shares how tools like ChatGPT and Claude help him stress test new business ideas, role play buyer consultations, and analyze complex documents such as HOA reports and inspections. The conversation explores how agents can sharpen their thinking by debating ideas with AI instead of simply asking it for answers. Nick also explains the vision behind his DIY Homebuyer Academy and why the most valuable role for agents in the future will be judgment, negotiation strategy, and emotional guidance rather than basic information access.
