Rick Guerrero talks with AI strategist Carrie Soave, who shares a step-by-step social media plan that allows you to batch content and roll it out on your schedule.
For most real estate agents, social media feels like something they should be doing, but rarely something they enjoy doing consistently.
They know buyers and sellers are paying attention online. They know content matters. But between clients, family and running a business, creating posts every day quickly becomes overwhelming.
That’s why my conversation with AI strategist and real estate entrepreneur Carrie Soave stood out.
A step-by-step social media content calendar strategy
In this interview, Soave didn’t talk about AI in theory. She showed, step by step, how an agent can build a full 30-day social media content calendar in about an hour using custom-trained AI tools. Not just ideas, but real hooks, short-form video scripts and calls to action you can actually read from a teleprompter.
One of the biggest takeaways was why most agents struggle with AI in the first place. Tools like ChatGPT are powerful, but they are broad. Without clear direction, context and examples, the output often feels generic or unusable. Soave solves that by building custom GPTs that do one job extremely well, so agents don’t have to learn prompt engineering just to get results.
During the live demo, we built content around a very specific audience: VA first-time homebuyers in the Atlanta area. From that single input, the system created an ideal client profile, identified real buyer fears and questions, and then turned those into a full 30-day content plan designed for Instagram, TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts.
From there, it generated camera-ready scripts with strong hooks and simple calls to action — the kind of scripts you can load into a teleprompter, hit record and move on with your day.
We also talked about how content actually turns into business. Soave walked through how she uses tools like Captions for fast editing and ManyChat to automatically convert comments and DMs into real conversations and booked appointments. The goal is not just posting, but moving people off social media and into systems you own.
The biggest lesson from the conversation was simple. AI isn’t about doing more. It’s about removing friction from the things agents already know they should be doing.
When used the right way, AI becomes leverage. And leverage creates freedom.
If you’re an agent who wants to grow online without living on your phone, this conversation is worth your time.
