  Chris Panteli on Hyperlocal Media Strategy for Real Estate Agents

  Sep 28, 202642 minS1

  Chris Panteli, from the SEO and authority building agency Linkifi, joins Eric Bramlett to talk about how earned media has replaced traditional link building as the foundation of online authority. Chris explains how Google's original PageRank algorithm rewarded links from trusted sites, why links that can be bought are losing value, and how that same principle now shapes how large language models like ChatGPT and Claude decide who to recommend. The conversation moves into practical strategy for real estate professionals: getting the basics of a consistent online presence right before pitching the media, using hyperlocal journalism as a starting point before chasing national coverage, and why AI generated pitches to reporters tend to fail. Chris and Eric also discuss editorial writing and thought leadership as a next step for building a reputation, and why authority building is a long term investment rather than a quick win. 00:00 Introduction and guest background 02:38 How Google's PageRank changed the value of earned links 07:55 How AI and large language models are reshaping search 09:46 Building a consistent personal brand and online presence 17:18 Getting started as a real estate agent through hyperlocal media 19:41 Why AI generated pitches to journalists do not work 21:47 Using journalist request platforms and dictation tools to pitch 28:36 Pitching editorials and building thought leadership 35:12 The long term mindset behind building lasting authority 38:36 Free cheat sheet and where to find Chris 39:56 Brand marketing vs. performance marketing and measuring ROI See where Linkifi has earned Eric and Bramlett Partners real authority in the press: Inman: https://www.inman.com/2026/02/09/stop-chasing-leads-how-boring-built-this-750m-brokerage/ https://x.com/Inman/status/2061855581028127213 https://www.inman.com/2026/05/22/zillow-redfin-antitrust-case-real-estate-rental-listings/ NAR: https://www.nar.realtor/news/broker-news/network/how-to-keep-agents-productive-when-a-deal-falls-apart Wall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.com/economy/housing/trumps-new-housing-strategy-is-all-about-boosting-buyers-now-f6a3f6a6 CNBC: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2026/04/07/iran-war-upends-spring-housing-market-hereas-what-real-estate-agents-are-seeing.html News Channel 6 (KAUZ-TV): https://www.newschannel6now.com/2026/03/25/texoma-housing-market-sees-widespread-price-decline/ HousingWire (Byline): https://www.housingwire.com/articles/housing-volume-first-time-buyers/ Resources: Linkifi - https://www.linkifi.io/ Linkifi cheat sheet - https://www.linkifi.io/cheat-sheet Aggregator Websites: HARO (Help a Reporter Out) - https://www.helpareporter.com SOS (Source of Sources) - https://www.sourceofsources.com PressPlugs - https://pressplugs.co.uk Qwoted - https://www.qwoted.com AI Dictation Tool: VoiceInk - https://tryvoiceink.com WisprFlow - https://wisprflow.ai/ Follow the podcast for more conversations with the people shaping Central Texas real estate.

  Serving the Industry from the Inside with John Crowe, 2026 ABoR President

  Jul 27, 202654 minS1

  This podcast features our guest John Crowe, 2026 Austin Board of REALTORS president and Bramlett Partners agent, whose approach to leadership traces back to a principle his father lived by: it is not fair to complain if you are not willing to help find a solution. His father was a pediatric surgeon who treated a significant share of his patients for free. That ethic runs through everything John does in real estate and at the association level. John began his career in marketing and communications at IBM, turned down three offers to relocate to New York, and left in 2005 to flip homes with his brother. He got his real estate license at the end of 2007 and started selling through the recession. His brokerage path has consistently leaned toward independents because he has always believed that fewer layers between an agent and a client produce better service. John joined the ABoR grievance committee in 2010, ran for the board in 2017 through a petition process, and has spent years doing work that most members will never see or credit. The conversation covers what the ABoR presidency actually involves, why so much of the board work is anonymous, and how he thinks about leadership as a service function rather than a title. The episode also addresses the operational differences between big box and independent brokerages, the role of technology in improving the client experience, and why John believes real estate is fundamentally relational. Tools and reach can be replicated. Service cannot. Whether you are a new agent deciding where to hang your license or a seasoned professional thinking about how to contribute to the industry, this is a conversation about what it means to show up for the work even when no one is watching.
