If you’ve ever tried to start a real estate business before, you know how frustrating it can be:

• What kind of entity should I set up?
• What tools do I need to find leads?
• What marketing should I even run?
• And how in the world do I keep it all organized?

Most people hit overwhelm fast – jumping between YouTube videos and coaching programs. Even if you get something off the ground, it still feels like something’s missing.

It’s not just motivation – it’s a clear, complete system.

Real estate doesn’t have to be hard – it just needs the right foundation.

That’s why I’m inviting you to a full-day, in-person workshop that shows you how to structure and launch your business using cutting-edge AI tools that will blow your mind.

What Took Months (or Years) to Build… Now Takes Minutes

In the past 18 months, AI has changed the game. What once required:

• A full marketing team
• A paid CRM
• Endless hours of follow-up
• Costly freelancers or VAs

…can now be handled with tools like:

• ChatGPT – for high-converting content
• NotebookLM – to organize and recall info
• n8n – to automate workflows
• Publer, Zapier, Canva – to schedule, connect, and design

This isn’t just about tools – it’s about building a machine that runs your business.

What We’ll Cover – Step-by-Step

This event is for beginners and rebuilders alike. We’ll start with:

• Choosing the right business entity (LLC, corp, etc.)
• Structuring your business for simplicity and protection
• Naming, branding, and positioning to attract deals

Then we dive deep into AI and automation to help you:

• Create lead campaigns in minutes
• Set up automated follow-up systems
• Generate emails, texts, voicemails, and direct mail in one prompt
• Organize everything in one AI-powered workspace
• Automate your lead funnel from first contact to closed deal

By the end of the day, you’ll have a clear, repeatable, AI-supported system built to grow.

Who Should Attend?

• New investors ready to start fast
• Part-time investors with limited time
• Burned-out investors tired of doing everything manually
• Entrepreneurs who want to systematize and scale

Event Details

Date: Saturday, August 9, 2025
Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Location: Keller Williams, 1960 Satellite Blvd, Ste 1500, Duluth, GA
(park in back)
Cost: Register Here!
Hosted by: Atlanta REIA

Seats are limited – this will fill fast once word gets out.

Leave With a Real System – Not Just Notes

This isn’t fluff. This isn’t a teaser.

This is a roll-up-your-sleeves, get-it-done workshop where you walk away with:

• A structured, legally sound business
• A working AI-powered tech stack
• A lead generation engine ready to launch
• Tools you’ll actually use
• A plan for growth without burnout
