042: How AI Is Transforming Property Management with Kandise Varvil
From The Stacey Salyer Show: Buying & Selling Property Management Companies · 48:12
Show by Stacey Salyer
In this episode, I'm joined by Kandise Varvil, co-founder of Pathbuilders (formerly PM Pathbuilders), for a conversation about AI, business growth, and why sometimes the smartest thing you can do as a business owner is completely rethink how you're operating. We talk about what it took to narrow their focus, embrace new technology, and build a business around the work they actually love doing. Kandise breaks down the different levels of AI adoption, explains what vibe coding actually is, and shares real examples of how property management companies can use AI to create custom tools, improve workflows, and eliminate repetitive tasks. And because neither of us can resist a good conversation about growth, we get into why property management owners need to think beyond perfecting their operations and start building businesses that are positioned to grow. Whether you're exploring AI for the first time, preparing to acquire another company, or looking for ways to make your business more efficient, this episode is packed with ideas you can start thinking about today.
