AI Storytelling Workshop for Residential Real Estate
Beyond the MLS: Data Doesn't Win Listings; Stories Do
A hands-on workshop led by Shawn McGaff, Co-Founder and CPO of Home Stories
The MLS is where listings live. It's not where buyers fall in love with them.
Buyers today are finding homes on YouTube, asking ChatGPT to recommend neighborhoods, and doing research through Google AI overviews before they ever call an agent. The properties and agents showing up in those results have a significant advantage. Most agents have no presence there at all.
This hands-on workshop is a practical look at how generative AI has made it possible for any agent to market properties across these modern channels. From still photos, AI can now produce property content that looks like it came from a professional production house: cinematic video tours, voice-narrated neighborhood stories, social clips, and search-optimized article pages that put your listings in front of buyers beyond the MLS.
"When wielded correctly, AI allows us to produce marketing stories that look hand-crafted, not generated."
Shawn has been building AI systems for nearly 20 years and works directly with luxury brokerages and independent agents. This is a demo-heavy, hands-on session. You will see these tools work live.
A note on transparency: This session is presented by Shawn from Home Stories. Yes, Home Stories offers AI video solutions for real estate, but this session is about strategy, not a sales pitch. Shawn will cover the full landscape of available tools and help you think through what makes sense for your business.
