$15 AI vs $75K TC: What Actually Automates Deals | Karan Khanna

🚀 Can a $15 AI assistant replace a costly transaction coordinator? In this episode of The Adventures of a Real Estate Broker, host Daniel Berger sits down with Karan Khanna, founder and product lead of Listed Kit AI, to unpack how AI is revolutionizing back-office work in real estate. Karan explains how Listed Kit assistant, Ava, automates contract reading, compliance deadline tracking, and e-signature prep for $15 or less per deal with no monthly subscription fees. Daniel counters with his own high-volume story: running a lean brokerage with zero back-office staff while closing 55 deals worth $40 million last year. Together, they break down when AI genuinely saves time versus when doing it yourself is faster, and why legal frameworks in attorney states like New York and Connecticut shift contract AI onto lawyers rather than agents. Karan also shares Listed Kit AI’s vision for predictive analytics to prevent deal drop-offs, while Daniel reveals how he uses conversational AI like ChatGPT to dominate local lead generation. It’s a grounded, numbers-first conversation that skips the tech hype for what actually drives results. 🎧 Hosted by: Daniel Berger👤 Guest:Karan Khanna is the founder and product lead of ListedKit, an AI software company built at Harmony Venture Labs.
