Tech-Forward Real Estate: What to Automate (and What Not To) with Alex Rivlin Ep 302

In this episode of the Lab Coat Agents podcast, Tristan Ahumada and Nick Baldwin interview Alex Rivlin, a real estate pro with a strong background in tech and entrepreneurship, on what today’s market signals are really telling agents—and how to use AI without losing the human edge. The conversation opens with recent trends, including a surge in Google searches from homeowners who feel “stuck” and the way rising mortgage rates are influencing inventory and seller behavior. Alex shares how he’s using AI to build smarter SEO strategies, create personalized coaching tools for his team, and develop automated listing engines designed to drive consistent inbound opportunities. Throughout the episode, Rivlin makes the case that technology should enhance productivity and client engagement—but it can’t replace the fundamentals. The agents who win long-term still prioritize relationships, follow-up, and consistent communication, using AI as leverage rather than a substitute. The result is a practical roadmap for blending modern tech with timeless business discipline in a shifting real estate landscape.
