Everywhere you turn, everyone is talking about AI. It’s rapidly changing how we live and work. That’s true for the real estate industry, too. Although it can seem daunting, if you are an agent who cares about sustaining a relational — not transactional — business — there is a lot to be excited about when it comes to AI’s possibilities.
Introducing Buffini AI Bootcamp with Michael Thorne!
For over 30 years, Buffini & Company has been at the forefront of innovative real estate training programs. Now, they are meeting agents’ needs with a new live, 12-month AI bootcamp with content geared especially for real estate professionals.
Each month, Michael Thorne, a marketing visionary and leading AI expert, will delve into a specific topic that will help you become knowledgeable and comfortable with AI’s capabilities. Each virtual session will be approximately 45 minutes long followed by a 15-minute interactive Q&A. (All sessions will also be available 24/7 on demand access.) The bootcamp officially started June 11, but you can sign up and join at any time.
“Adapting to AI keeps you in the game; Adopting AI makes you the MVP!” — Michael Thorne
How Buffini Bootcamp is Different from Other Programs
Most AI programs are led by engineers and developers — people who understand the technology but may not understand the real-world challenges faced by real estate professionals.
During each session, Michael will share practical, real estate-specific strategies designed to enhance productivity and deepen client relationships. You’ll learn how to strategically implement AI in ways that drive results in a way that still retains what makes you uniquely you.
For Every Agent, at Every Stage
From AI skeptics to early adopters — this bootcamp is for agents of all skill levels.
The sessions are structured to be clear, approachable, and practical — regardless of experience level. Complex AI concepts are broken down into simple, actionable steps that can be easily integrated into any business. Participants will have unlimited access to past sessions, allowing them to rewatch, pause, and learn at their own pace.
