AI Features & Best Practices with Tyler Scott & Don Carlson

Date: (28 Apr, 2026)

Yesterday’s REsimpli Mastermind covered the new AI features, setup walkthroughs, sales workflows, and best practices for using AI (voice + text) to scale lead follow-up and appointments. Tyler and Don demoed the AI Marketplace, voice follow-up specialist, SMS Assist, offer generation, eSign workflows, and answered user questions. Below is a recap of the major topics discussed.

REsimpli Mastermind Recap, REsimpli

Topic: Enabling AI Agents in REsimpli (AI Marketplace & Setup)

Challenge: Many users haven’t turned on or fully configured the AI features yet.

Advice: 

Go to AI > AI Marketplace and click the Activate/Turn On buttons (voice needs a bit more configuration). Create managed agents (you can have multiple), name them, set company name (test spelling/formatting so the voice says it correctly), and choose voice. Test the greeting lines (address merge is supported) and tune them to your workflow.

Key Insight: 

Turning AI on is the hardest step — most features are one-click after configuration. Test and iterate.

Topic: Voice Selection & Performance

Challenge: Voices vary in perceived realism; sellers sometimes flag obvious-sounding voices.

Advice: 

Monitor which voice generates fewer “is this a bot?” flags. Right now Emma is performing better than Jessica for Tyler’s data. New, higher-quality voices are coming soon — re-test periodically.

Key Insight: 

Voice choice materially affects pickup/flag rates. Start with the best-performing voice and update as voices improve.

Topic: Voice Follow-Up Specialist (Outbound + Inbound)

Challenge: Teams need consistent follow-up without hiring more human reps.

Advice: 

Use the Voice Follow-Up Specialist for inbound answering and as part of drip campaigns. Keep AI calls short (3–4 min) if it’s teeing up an acquisition manager; let human reps dig deeper. Use role-based booking to route phone or in-person appointments to your acquisition manager and sync Google Calendars so appointments appear directly on team calendars.

Key Insight: 

Treat voice AI like a lead manager that triages, books appointments, and moves leads into the right buckets.

Topic: Dynamic Offer Generation & Pricing Logic

Challenge: Sellers frequently ask for offers; teams want a safe, automated way to provide ballparks without overcommitting.

Advice: 

Enable dynamic offer generation to present a ballpark when a seller insists. Configure:

  • Use MAO (Wholesale Max Allowable Offer) at ~80–90% of MAO if MAO exists
  • Use 40–50% of ARV if using ARV
  • If neither exists, AI will use REsimpli’s estimated value (recommend 40–50%)
  • Tyler’s experience: average closed offer ~50% of ARV (market dependent)

AI offers are ranges, rounded to the nearest thousand, and only shown when sellers push for an offer.

Key Insight: 

Automated offers should be ballpark ranges, not final numbers — good for filtering “just give me an offer” sellers.

Topic: Smart Questioning Engine, Cadence & Data Refresh

Challenge: Re-asking unchanged info wastes time and annoys sellers.

Advice: 

The AI auto-skips questions if that data was captured recently. Pricing is refreshed every 30 days; other fields refresh on a 60–90 day cadence (default). Land support and land-specific question sets are coming soon (buildable, road access, motivation).

Key Insight: 

Smart questioning prevents redundant data collection and keeps conversations efficient.

Topic: Drip Campaigns, SMS Assist & Conversational AI

Challenge: Texting regulations (A2P/10DLC) and carrier filtering complicate automated SMS.

Advice:

  • Use Drip Campaigns with SMS Assist turned on to generate context-aware initial texts and follow-ups.
  • Include a compliant first message in your drip (DBA/company name) to satisfy 10DLC before letting AI conversational responses continue.
  • Conversational AI picks up inbound replies and aims to set appointments; it uses full lead context so replies feel human.
  • Avoid links in SMS drips (carriers flag links); use company name and suggest “Google me” if you want a discovery path.

Key Insight: 

SMS Assist + conversational AI is a huge time-saver and raises connection rates but requires a compliant first message strategy.

Topic: Inbound vs Outbound Call Flow & Call Routing

Challenge: Different lead channels need different routing (inbound sales coordinator for direct mail; voice AI for inbound).

Advice:

  • Turn Inbound Sales Coordinator on for direct mail leads (answer immediately).
  • Use call flow settings (Enterprise) to route calls by property status (e.g., under contract -> route to owner or in-app answering).
  • Beware of legacy forwarding set on leads — they can override new call flow rules.

Key Insight: 

Proper call routing guarantees timely answers for high-value incoming leads.

Topic: Using AI Fields & Lead Scoring to Prioritize Work

Challenge: Lead volume makes it hard to focus on the best opportunities.

Advice: 

Use AI Summary and AI Fields to filter by motivation, lead temperature, etc. Bulk selection and bulk AI dialing (select a list and start AI calls) are coming soon — until then, tag and filter leads you want to test on and apply drips manually.

Key Insight: 

AI-generated fields transform your database into filterable, actionable lists — use those to prioritize outreach.

Topic: Calendar Sync, Appointments & Pipeline Automation

Challenge: Mapping AI outcomes to pipeline buckets and ensuring appointments show up correctly.

Advice:

  • Sync Google Calendar for automatic appointment visibility.
  • Currently AI auto-moves leads based on outcomes (offers made, warm, dead). The upcoming autonomous release will let you map 20+ common scenarios to any pipeline stage you want (appointments set, manual review, etc.).

Key Insight: 

Autonomous mapping will provide full control over lead flows and reduce manual post-call work.

Topic: eSign, Contracts & Working with Agents/Vendors

Challenge: Users want to send contracts to agents/vendors and sign as buyer/buyer’s agent from REsimpli.

Advice:

  • Configure eSign templates with multiple parties/recipients and ordering (Party 1 = seller; Party 2 = buyer). Use “Fill My Info” to populate buyer fields from your REsimpli profile or use dispo buyer to populate a buyer attached to the lead.
  • If an agent wants to present via their DocuSign, send your contract to the agent (as vendor) and they can process it on their platform; you may need to upload signed copies back into REsimpli.
  • Use the Move to Vendor/Move to Buyer buttons when buyer/vendor calls come in to keep records tidy. Use vendor-specific numbers to avoid creating new leads from vendor callbacks.

Key Insight:

REsimpli eSign supports multi-party workflows, but agent-side eSign platforms will usually be handled outside and re-uploaded.

Topic: Notifications & Monitoring AI Conversations

Challenge: Getting notified for every AI message can overwhelm users.

Advice: 

Adjust notification settings (top-right > Notifications) to reduce noise (e.g., disable conversational AI message alerts if you don’t want every send/receive). For users new to AI, monitor a small sample to build confidence (turn notifications on temporarily), then scale back once comfortable.

Key Insight: 

Start monitoring to learn how AI behaves, then tune notifications and automation to your team’s needs.

Topic: Billing, Credits & Free Trial

Challenge: How are AI texts/calls billed?

Advice:

  • SMS uses your existing SMS balance — no special AI SMS credits.
  • AI calling minutes have specific minute credits. During the trial, AI is free until May 31st and accounts received an initial 60 minutes of AI call credit. Post-trial pricing will include monthly Copilot/lead manager charges plus minute credits (founder pricing and promos available).

Key Insight: 

Use the free trial window to test voice + SMS workflows before credits/billing begin.

Topic: Best Practices for Testing & Rollout

Challenge: Fear of losing deals or breaking compliance prevents adoption.

Advice:

  • Test on a small tagged group of leads first: create a dedicated drip, tag 10–20 leads, and let the voice + SMS agents run.
  • Keep AI calls short if they’re teeing up humans; let acquisition managers handle deeper discovery.
  • Use return-to-sender handling for direct mail and integrate driving-for-dollars (no manual import/export needed).
  • Keep long-term drips for “not selling now” leads (Tyler uses 2-year drips with AI sprinkled throughout).

Key Insight: 

Start small, monitor, iterate, and expand. The tech is improving daily — today is the baseline and will only get better.

Tools & Tactics Mentioned

  • AI Marketplace / Managed Agents (voice follow-up specialist, inbound coordinator)
  • Voice selection monitoring (Emma recommended currently)
  • Smart Questioning Engine (skip if data captured within 60–90 days; price every 30 days)
  • Dynamic Offer Generation (ARV/MAO-based ranges)
  • Drip Campaigns with SMS Assist + Conversational AI
  • AI Summary & AI Fields for filtering by lead temperature/motivation
  • Make Call Using AI (manual now; bulk AI dial coming soon)
  • Calendar sync (Google Calendar) for appointment visibility
  • Driving-for-Dollars integration (no export/import)
  • Return-to-sender handling and using OCR/AI (Claude) to build lists
  • eSign templates with multiple parties / Fill My Info / dispo buyer
  • Move to Vendor / Move to Buyer buttons
  • Autonomous mapping (upcoming) to control pipeline routing
  • Notifications settings to control alert volume

Best Advice from the Session

  • Turn the AI on and test it while the trial is active — use a small sample and monitor.
  • Treat the AI like a lead manager: keep initial calls short, let humans handle deep discovery.
  • Use SMS Assist + conversational AI to warm leads before human outreach.
  • Keep first SMS compliant for 10DLC (DBA/company name) — then let AI handle replies.
  • Use ARV/MAO settings in your calculator to tune automated offer ranges.
  • Clean and prioritize your pipeline using AI Fields — moving leads out of stale buckets is as valuable as adding new leads.
  • Start with outbound + drip strategies, then layer inbound once conversion fundamentals are proven.
