AI in the Real Estate Sphere, Part 2
In part 1 of this series, I shared a few AI tools to assist real estate and title agents. In this follow-up piece, we’ll take a closer look at some of the human connections with AI assistance possibilities.
Real Estate Agents
Real estate agents are involved in buying, selling, and renting properties. You can divide the work of real estate agents into tasks that AI can assist with, and those it can’t:
| Duty | Human Connection | AI Assistance |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing properties to potential buyers and conducting open houses. | Real estate agents can personalize interactions and adapt strategies based on client reactions and feedback during open houses. | AI can enhance marketing through targeted online ads and virtual open houses, reaching a broader audience more efficiently. |
| Performing comparative market analysis to estimate property values. | Agents provide context and explain market dynamics to clients, helping them understand valuation reports. | AI can quickly process large datasets to provide more accurate and timely property valuations. |
| Negotiating deals between buyers and sellers. | Agents build relationships and use their negotiation skills to advocate for their clients' best interests. | AI can analyze past transaction data to suggest optimal negotiation strategies and predict outcomes. |
| Managing paperwork such as contracts, leases, and closing statements. | Agents ensure all documents reflect the agreed terms and that clients understand the details. | AI can automate document handling, reduce errors, and speed up the processing of paperwork. |
| Guiding clients through the buying or selling process, including arranging property viewings and advising on market conditions. | Agents provide personalized advice and reassurance, helping clients navigate complex decisions. | AI can schedule viewings, provide real-time market data, and generate reports to inform clients. |
| Coordinating with other professionals like home inspectors, appraisers, and mortgage lenders. | Agents facilitate communication and ensure all parties are aligned throughout the transaction process. | AI can streamline coordination through automated scheduling and updates, improving communication efficiency. |
Parting Thoughts
Real estate agents are able to leverage their interpersonal skills to do quite a bit in the real estate sphere. The appropriate use of AI can complement this work and make it easier.
