Embrace AI or get left behind — AI is inevitable; the mindset shift is asking "what does AI allow me to do better?" rather than fearing it. Focus on what you can control — Amid industry-wide disruption and geopolitical noise, Sean's strategy is to tune out distractions and optimize for delivering his best to each client. Sell wants, not needs — Second-home buyers don't need another propert…
