He Picked Up a $730K Listing While Using AI

From Commercial Powerhouse to Residential Playmaker

Mike Atkins has spent years leading billion-dollar opportunities.

He’s been at the helm of commercial real estate ventures, tech investments, and federal contracts. Built companies. Sold them. Guided major transitions for Fortune 500s.

But now, he’s entering a new space: residential real estate.

Not to test the waters, he’s here to make an impact.

One Phone Call, One Listing, One Big Move

Mike didn’t wait for the perfect moment.

He didn’t write a 90-day launch plan.

He made one phone call.

“99% of my business is commercial. But I was on the line this morning, and I said, ‘Well, I'm gonna learn how to do this.’”

That same day, he spotted a for-sale sign in his neighborhood and picked up the phone.

“They said, ‘Are you selling real estate?’
I said, ‘Yeah.’
They said, ‘I thought you only did commercial.’
I said, ‘Well, my clients want residential too, so I’m taking over residential.’”

And just like that…

Mike landed a $730,000 listing.

Not because he was lucky.

Because he moved.

Using AI to Scale Fast

Mike didn’t leave his systems mindset at the office.

He brought the full force of his commercial know-how into residential supercharged with AI.

“Most of my business is commercial, and I had to modify a lot of things we’re doing for the commercial side. Not a day goes by that I don’t use AI.”

Proposals. Listing strategies. Marketing copy.

He’s not buried in busywork.

He’s using AI to work smarter and scale faster.

“I’m sitting here writing a proposal using AI as we speak.”

This isn’t theory. It’s Mike, in action, building a whole new vertical.

Adapting with Precision

AI didn’t just help Mike transition, it gave him leverage.

He’s bridging the gap between high-stakes commercial clients and everyday homebuyers with tools that keep his message sharp, his process smooth, and his brand consistent.

No fluff. No guessing.

Just focused execution.

Moving with Confidence

AI isn’t just helping Mike transition, it’s giving him an edge.

He’s marketing smarter, staying consistent across platforms, and adapting fast without sacrificing quality.

It’s how he’s bridging the gap between commercial leadership and residential momentum.
