You know that moment when you show up for a property tour… and there’s a lockbox, a random agent, and a feeling that nobody really knows who’s supposed to be there? Yeah — that’s the part of real estate no one ever fixed. Until now. In Episode #29 of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, I sat down with Al Romero, founder of InstaShow+, who’s reinventing how showings actually work. He’s built a system where smart cameras and instant verification connect agents directly to buyers in real time, securely, and without losing control of their data. Because here’s the thing: for years, big showing platforms have made agents feel like guests in their own business. Now, with tools like InstaShow+, they’re finally getting control back - over access, over information, and over trust. This short clip gives you a glimpse of how that shift looks in action. Full episode’s in the comments, worth every minute if you’ve ever been part of a showing (or even just walked through one). #TheBluPrintSeries #PropTech #InstaShowPlus #RealEstateTech #Innovation #SaaSFounders #RealEstate

Zoning delays. Compliance red tape. Endless PDF reviews. That’s what most real estate projects still rely on. So I sat down with Khalil Shanti, founder of Atria, who’s quietly building one of the most impactful tools in the industry: an AI-powered platform automating code and zoning checks for developers, architects, and city planners. 🧠 What stood out most? Khalil’s mindset on trust. Instead of trying to “disrupt” from the outside, Atria is winning by embedding within the system, building trust one review cycle at a time - a model more SaaS founders should follow. 🎧 Episode 28 of #TheBluPrintSeries now live. 🎥 Clip below.

In Episode #27 of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, we sat down with Brittany White, founder of Aqyr, Inc., a modern real estate brokerage built on people, tech, and purpose. One of my favorite parts? Hearing how she’s using AI assistants to run leaner and smarter, taking on the work of 10+ people without compromising on client experience. → Real-time transaction coordination → Content planning + editing → Listing automation → Follow-ups → Internal team ops …all handled with systems that let her 𝘥𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. We talked about what it means to actually support agents, how she thinks about 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝘀. 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, and why 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 & 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 matter more than commission splits. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲.

Everyone says real estate agents need more leads. Leo Jorge says the real problem is 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀. That’s what struck me most in my conversation with Leo Jorge, founder of Conrad Instead of building “yet another tool,” Leo and his team are building the infrastructure layer for the industry — where referrals, workflows, and relationships don’t get lost between platforms. 👉 In this clip, Leo breaks down why fragmentation is killing efficiency for agents and what Conrad is doing differently. This is just a small part of our chat, but it stuck with me because it reflects a bigger truth: the future of real estate SaaS isn’t about features, it’s about ecosystems. 🎙️ Episode 26 of The BluPrint Series is now live.

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁. That was one of my biggest takeaways from episode #25 of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 with Michelle Meehan, CMA, PMP founder of MM Consulting Solutions, LLC. Michelle has decades of experience helping real estate firms find that "flick of a switch" inside systems like Yardi. We dug into some hard truths: • Too many companies run manual processes because they don’t realize Yardi already has the solution buried inside. • Robotic process automation (RPA) can take the busywork out of bank recs and fee calculations, but only if you know how to teach the system the logic. • AI is creeping in, but adoption in the back office still lags, mostly due to trust and security concerns. What I loved most is Michelle’s mindset: every problem is solvable if you bridge the gap between 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. 👉 At BluPrint Growth, we solve the same gap on the revenue side. We build AI-assisted outbound your CRM can trust, focusing on the last mile: clean CRM, fast follow-ups, and discipline that turns replies into booked meetings. Our clients see 𝟮–𝟯× 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 on the same spend once follow-ups are fixed and aligned to our proven system.

💰 $20 trillion is still moved by... WhatsApp? That's right. In global commodities, billion-dollar deals are still driven by gut feel and "do you know this guy?" phone calls. In Episode #24 of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, I sat down with Nadia Shalaby 🚀 Shalaby, CEO of Pakira, Inc., who's not just witnessing this, s͟h͟e͟'͟s͟ ͟f͟i͟x͟i͟n͟g͟ ͟i͟t͟. She's building the digital backbone for an industry that's long resisted structure, data, and transparency. No more scattered PDFs. No more trust fall trades. This one is for the builders who see chaos and choose to organize it. The founders modernizing broken B2B workflows. And anyone betting on AI + marketplaces in legacy industries. 🎧 Full episode live — link in first comment. #TheBluPrintSeries #B2BMarketplaces #PropTech #LogisticsTech #Pakira #NadiaShalaby

𝗜 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. Follow-ups were my biggest leak. Unread emails. Missed replies. Leads slipping through the cracks. So I hacked together a scrappy version of an agent, Just to solve my own pain. Here’s what it does today: • Reads every inbound lead. • Qualifies it as hot, warm, or cold. • Pushes it straight into my CRM. • Sends me a Slack ping so I know what’s waiting. Result? 6–7 hours of manual work gone every week. And zero leads left behind. The funny thing is I became my own best testimonial. Not because it was polished. But because it worked. Sometimes the best thing you can build isn’t for a client, an investor, or the market. It’s for yourself, because you’ll be the harshest user and the loudest proof. If you had to build an AI agent just for you, what would you make it do first? #AIagents #AIAutomation #SalesAutomation #LeadGeneration #SpeedToLead

Some platforms are built 𝘧𝘰𝘳 real estate agents. But the best ones? They’re built 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. In Episode #23 of The BluPrint Series, I sat down with Michael Lam, founder of Kaydoh - a platform that's quietly growing through agent referrals and personal invites, not flashy ads. What stuck with me was simple: 👉 “𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.” He’s not building “just another CRM.” He’s building a seamless, support-first experience for agents who want to impress clients and save time. Because agents today don’t want more software. They want speed. They want trust. And they want tech that makes them look professional, without needing to be tech experts. We got into: • How Kaydoh is changing the way agents handle property inquiries • What role AI should play behind the scenes (not front and center) • And why they’re staying laser-focused on agents who share the same mindset 🎙 Episode link in the comments. If you’re building for agents, selling into real estate, or just curious about how to design 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵-𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦, this one’s worth the listen. #TheBluPrintSeries #RealEstateTech #Founders #Kaydoh #AI #CustomerSupport #PropTech #RealEstateSoftware

$15K ad spend. $12K wasted. Why? Silence. Leads don’t die because marketing failed. They die because no one replies. Here’s what leakage really looks like: 1. Calls ring out, unanswered. 2. Inbox piles up with unread leads. 3. Agents chase, instead of converting. 4. Buyers move to whoever picks up first. Result: $15K drops into $3K of pipeline. And it compounds. Month after month. The fix isn’t “more leads.” It’s response discipline: Fast. Consistent. Tracked. Speed will beat spend. Always. Comment below: where’s your team leaking most? Leads, replies, or meetings? #PropTech #RealEstateSales #SalesOps #RevOps #LeadManagement #OutboundSales

In episode #22 of The BluPrint Series, we had an amazing conversation with Alok Gupta, co-founder of AutoReel, who’s building one of the most practical and timely tools I’ve seen for the real estate industry. If you're in real estate, you already know the problem: 📱 You 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be turning every listing into video. ⏱️ But you don't have time. 🎬 Editors are expensive. 📉 And most agents just give up after 1 or 2 reels. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁. It uses AI to generate scroll-stopping short-form videos 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 — using just a listing URL and your brand style. But what really stuck with me from our chat was 𝘩𝘰𝘸 they’re building. “Before we started, I cold-called 12 realtors. I got 12 yeses. That told me all I needed to know.” That’s been their compass from Day 1 : real feedback, shipped fast. If you’re building something right now, irrespective of the industry, that lesson alone is worth listening for. 🎧 Episode is live now on 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 #SaaSFounders #RealEstateMarketing #ShortFormVideo #RealEstateContent #StartupLessons #FounderWisdom
