"A CMA is not brain surgery."
That's Brian on the latest episode of The Brian Icenhower Podcast, and he's talking to the agent who's still pulling their own comps at 10pm.
His argument is hard to dodge: somebody taught you to do it. So you can teach someone else. And the method is six reps.
You do it in front of them three times. They do it three times while you review and edit. Pretty soon there's nothing left to edit.
I do. We do. They do.
Think about your busy season — 40, 50, 60 listings landing at once. That's the time you're spending on work that could have been trained away in two weeks.
What's the one task you've never delegated because you assumed it couldn't be taught?

More than half of the agents, teams, and brokerages who sign with ICT right now say the same thing on the first call: they searched us on ChatGPT before they picked up the phone.
That is a real shift in how clients find people in this business, and most agents have not caught up to it.
AI tools do not pull from social feeds. They pull from indexed websites, Google reviews, and YouTube. Content that sits still and accumulates.
Brian put together a four-part audit that tells you in about twenty minutes whether AI can find you and what to fix first. Swipe through the checks, then run it this week.

An agent from another team in your office wants to join yours. What are you allowed to tell them?
Nothing. Not compensation, not lead volume, not "you'd be a great fit." Nothing — until they've told their current team leader they're looking, and you've picked up the phone and confirmed that conversation actually happened.
I know it feels like overkill. But the reason isn't the agent. It's the other team leader. If you can honestly say "I didn't say a word, I read the script," you never become the snake in that story. And that label is what breaks brokerages — not the transfer.

But every talented leader eventually hits something talent can't solve. A better competitor. A bad transaction. A tough economy. A year where nothing breaks their way.

That's when you see who has "The Dog."

Talent says: look what I can do. "The Dog" says: I'll do whatever it takes.
