Partnerships — where this works.

Three real categories of partner. A short list of things we don't do. The principle — partnership only when it makes the working REALTOR better. Otherwise pass.

Skip to the inquiry form → or email ryan@aiacceleration.ai with subject "PARTNER / [your organization] / [type]".

Who we partner with

Three lanes. Each has a different inquiry path because the conversation is different.

REALTOR associations

Public-forum CE delivery is the cleanest partnership in the brand. The pattern: a REALTOR association hosts the AI workshop, the workshop is open to the association's members, and the workshop is CE-eligible because the venue is a public-forum association event — not a private brokerage gathering. TREC ties CE eligibility to the venue, not the content [TREC Education]. WCAR is the anchor association partnership and the model for how this runs [WCAR].

What an association partnership looks like:

A booking sheet with the workshop format (2.5-hour AI 101, optional 3-hour or 6-hour deep formats), CE-credit application, and the date.
Curriculum delivered free at the association layer — the brand doesn't charge the association for the workshop fee.
Promotional support — Ryan does the workshop, the association handles its member-comms, and we provide the registration page on aiacceleration.ai.
Post-workshop — attendees can opt into the newsletter and the public topic clusters. No high-pressure follow-up.

Association coordinators write the inquiry form below with category "association partnership." Tell us the association name, the target month, and the preferred format. Walking the rest of the workshop logistics through the /workshop page is the fastest way to scope it.

Brokerages

Brokerage partnerships run through Architect or Empire. The buyer is the broker — not the individual agent — and the deliverable is a trained team plus a documented stack the brokerage owns forever. The brokerage-as-buyer pattern matches what NAR's research shows about which adopt-vs-individual-experiment models work in practice [NAR 2025 Tech Survey] and matches the analyst view from independent industry research [Mike DelPrete].

What a brokerage partnership looks like:

Architect ($2,997, 3 hours, up to 5 attendees) — the foundation install. The leadership tier of the brokerage gets the framework, the prompt stack, and the deployment plan. Used most often by 5-to-25-agent independents and team leads inside larger brokerages. → /programs/architect
Empire ($4,997, 6 hours, full operator install) — the longer build. The whole leadership team plus the operations layer. Used most often by 25-to-100-agent brokerages running a real adoption rollout. → /programs/empire
Both programs include the trained team, the documented stack, and the right to teach the curriculum internally going forward. The brokerage owns it.

If you're a broker considering one of these, the /apply page is the inquiry path. Same inbox, 24-hour reply.

Vendors and tools — the limited list

Tool partnerships are a small list and they earn their slot. The brand's stack is intentionally tiny — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, a couple of capture tools, and the Listing Machine itself. We don't run a generic affiliate program because affiliate-blast networks distort recommendations. The principle: a tool gets named in the curriculum when it's been used on a real listing and earns its place by saving time or making money. Not because it pays an affiliate fee.

What a vendor partnership might look like:

Integration — your product hooks into a workflow we already teach (Context Cards, prompt stack, deal-sheet format). Write us with the actual product, not a pitch deck. Show us the integration on a real REALTOR's account.
Co-published case study — your product is in production at a brokerage we've trained, and we publish the operator-grade write-up with full numbers. We don't accept pay-for-coverage. We accept a real case study.
Curriculum mention — your product is the right answer for a section of curriculum and we name it because it's the right answer. No "thought-leader" sponsorship. No banner ads in the deck.

Vendors write the inquiry form below with category "vendor / tool." Honest, brief notes get reads. Generic outreach doesn't.

What we don't partner with

The negative space defines the brand more than the positive. Five categories we'll politely pass on.

1. Affiliate-blast networks. No "earn 30% commission promoting our course to your list" funnels. The brand's audience is small, real, and trusts what we recommend because we don't recommend much. An affiliate program would distort that. We don't run one and aren't going to.

2. Coach co-marketing. "Let's swap audiences" — no. The brand is built on operator credibility, not influencer-tier audience math. If you run a coaching program and want a credentialed referral path, that's different (write the form), but generic co-marketing isn't the brand.

3. Influencer audience swaps. "I'll have you on my podcast if you have me on yours" — that's not how booking works. We do podcasts on the merit of the audience and the angle. Same standard the other direction.

4. Pay-to-play certifications. No external "AI certification" stamps the brand pays to display. The credential we ship is the AI-Enhanced Realtor designation, scoped by what students actually deliver in a four-week build cohort. We don't add stamps for marketing.

5. Generic SaaS partnerships. "We have an AI feature that would be a great fit for your audience" — usually not. The stack is intentionally tiny. If your product earns its place on the merits, write the form with the actual product.

The principle

Partnerships only when it makes the working REALTOR better. Otherwise pass.

That's the whole rule. The test is: does this partnership produce a measurable improvement in what a working REALTOR can ship in their next listing appointment? If yes, the partnership is interesting. If the only improvement is in our audience math or yours, we're not the right fit.

The agent who runs the curriculum is the customer. Every partnership decision routes through whether the partnership makes that customer better.

Active partners

This list is what's currently active and disclosable. We'll update it as new partnerships ship.

WCAR — Williamson County Association of REALTORS. The anchor association partnership. CE-eligible workshops on a recurring calendar. → WCAR website
Compass offices in Tennessee. Brokerage-level training engagements for select offices in the Williamson County and Nashville-area Compass operations. The Compass-Parks merger in 2024 created the largest Tennessee brokerage by transaction count [Inman, 2024], and the partnership runs at the office level — not a corporate-Compass arrangement.
TREC — Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Ryan is a TREC-approved CE instructor. That's a regulatory accreditation, not a marketing partnership, but it's what makes the WCAR workshops CE-eligible.

If you've worked with us and don't see your organization listed, write us — some partnerships are private by request, and we keep them that way unless you tell us otherwise.

Inquire about a partnership

The inquiry form. About 90 seconds. Specific notes get specific replies.

What we'll ask:

Name (required)
Email (required)
Organization (required) — association, brokerage, vendor, or other
Category (required, select) — association partnership / brokerage program / vendor or tool / other
What are you trying to do? (required, open text) — two or three sentences. "We're a 600-member association in East Tennessee looking to add a CE-eligible AI workshop to our Q3 calendar" gets a sharper reply than "interested in partnering."
Submit

[Inquiry form mounts here — <InquiryForm /> from src/marketing/primitives/InquiryForm.tsx, configured with the partner-category select.]

Form trouble? ryan@aiacceleration.ai — same inbox.

What happens after you submit

Three steps. No surprises.

1. It lands in Ryan's inbox. No CRM auto-responder, no VA, no AI auto-reply. The same person who built the curriculum reads the question.

2. You get a real email back. Within 24 hours during business days, often within three. The reply tells you whether the partnership is a fit, what the next step is, and the relevant links. If the answer is no, the reply tells you that and tells you why.

3. If yes, we set up a 30-minute kickoff. Logistics only — start date, deliverables, the listings or the agents we're working with. By the time we're on a call, we've already agreed the partnership makes sense.

That's the whole funnel. No drip sequence. No three-touch follow-up cadence.

FAQ

Do you have an affiliate program?

No. The brand's audience is small and trusts what we recommend because we don't recommend much. An affiliate program would distort that — we'd start naming tools because they pay commissions, not because they earn the slot. We don't run one and aren't planning to. If your tool is materially good and you want it named in the curriculum, the path is to put it in front of a real REALTOR's listing and let the result earn the mention.

Will you co-host my webinar?

Depends on the audience and the angle. If your audience is working REALTORs, brokerage owners, or association coordinators and the angle is operator-grade AI for real estate, usually yes. If the angle is "AI is the future of real estate" or anything that needs the word transformative to land, no. Send the form with the topic, the audience size, and a couple of dates that work for you.

Can my brokerage white-label your curriculum?

That's the Empire program, mostly. → /programs/empire. Empire is a 6-hour install that includes the right to teach the curriculum internally going forward — the brokerage owns it. White-label past that point (taking the curriculum to your own clients outside the brokerage) is a different conversation. Write the form with the specifics.

We're a tool vendor — interested in integration. What's the path?

Email ryan@aiacceleration.ai or use the form with category "vendor / tool." The inbox is small enough that a clear pitch with the actual product (not a pitch deck) gets read. The product needs to either save time or make money for the working REALTOR — those are the only two filters. If the answer is yes, we'll usually ask for an account, a real test against a listing, and a follow-up. Generic outreach doesn't make it past the inbox.

Do you accept sponsorship?

Not for editorial coverage. Not for podcast appearances. Not for "featured partner" placements that imply curriculum endorsement. We do accept paid speaking at events when the event is the right audience and the engagement is honest about what we're being paid for. Write the form with the event details.

What if my organization is national, not Tennessee?

Most of the brand's home market is Tennessee, but the partnerships travel. Listing Machine students close in Ohio, Texas, the Carolinas, and beyond. National associations and multi-state brokerages get the same async-first treatment. The geography isn't a gate — it just changes the in-person workshop logistics.

/workshop — the public workshop format and the host-an-association process.
/programs/architect — the foundation brokerage program ($2,997, 3 hours).
/programs/empire — the full brokerage install ($4,997, 6 hours).
/about — the founder background and the operator credibility behind the partnerships.
/contact — for non-partnership inquiries.
/apply — the broader application/inquiry hub for brokerage and Listing Machine.
/real-estate-ce-credits-tennessee — the CE-rules pillar, useful for any association coordinator scoping a workshop.
