Key Takeaways
- Most real estate agents, even top producers, don’t understand what title insurance does or why liens and judgments must be cleared before closing.
- Set up scheduled AI tasks in ChatGPT or Claude to email you daily content drafts for LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook that you can edit and post in minutes.
- Stop chasing viral posts and focus on the 2,000 hyper-local followers you already have—they’re your actual referral sources.
- Seller impersonation fraud is rising in Chicago; red flags include sellers who won’t appear on Zoom, vacant properties, and deals that move unusually fast.
- The most engaging title content features micro-influencers from your team on video showing personality, not just automated posts.
- Chicago’s attorney-directed closing process is unique—attorneys, not realtors, typically direct title orders, except in affiliated brokerage relationships.
- Co-ops differ from condos because you own shares in a corporation, not a percentage of the building, and HOA fees include property taxes without a separate tax pin.
