He Used AI to Land Million-Dollar Island Deals

“That Damn AI Thing Got Me a Couple of Islands Last Year”

Tony Gilchrist has built a real estate career that spans nearly five decades, 48 years of guiding clients, leading teams, and mentoring agents.

He’s worked with top-tier brands like Royal LePage and Engel & Völkers, and now runs a growing real estate group at eXp that stretches across four Canadian provinces and even into South America and Europe.

He doesn’t do it alone. His wife and business partner, Linda Gilchrist, has been right there with him focused, committed, and fully invested in their next chapter.

“That damn AI thing got me a couple of islands last year. I just got off the phone with a guy whose island I sold, now he wants to sell his house”
"On top of that, he spoke to his brother, who now wants to sell their island, this one’s 10 acres, much bigger than the others. It'll definitely be well into the million and change range."

And that’s just one chapter of the story.

Blending Experience with Innovation

Tony and his wife Linda have always held high standards. They’ve coached other agents, built teams, and worked with elite clients.

But last year, they brought something new into the mix: artificial intelligence.

“I still have a lot of work to do, but I also had a very successful year. I stuck with Canfield and sold three properties, the first ones in 40 years.”

Tony didn’t just dabble in AI. He went all in.

He became one of the first 50 agents in the world to earn the AI Certified Agent™ title and the results came fast.

“These questions here, in the form you put them, really came out great. They’ve resulted in good business plans. This is impressive. I can’t express how much I appreciate tripping over you guys a year and a half ago.”

Tony’s clear: AI isn’t here to replace the human side of real estate. It’s here to supercharge it.

“When I first saw these guys, I thought: they’re either that dirt crazy or they’re brilliant. Truth is, they’re both. Which makes the course entertaining.”

Big Wins. Bigger Vision.

Tony shows up at the workshops, sales meetings, and planning calls. Not just to learn, but to contribute.

“We’ve got great meetings at our company, but I try to make sure I’m there for these too. I can’t even describe how much this has helped.”

He’s now using AI to sharpen his business model, deliver better service, and start smarter conversations with clients.

“I’ve done lots of coaching and mentoring, but for some reason, this group of people, the ones that come through here, they’re special. They’ve got a special place in our lives right now.”

Now, Tony and Linda have a clear plan. They're stepping into the next season with confidence and the tools to win.

“Next year, we’re gonna turn. And it’s all thanks to AI.”
