Comment on OPINION: AI agents will change real estate—here’s how by Andrew Richards

I find this utterly ridiculous how Bokers and Realtors are rushing over the cliff like lemings to their own demise..
“When AI handles mundane tasks like scheduling, document collection and initial property matching, agents can focus on what truly matters: building relationships and providing strategic advice”..
Right- strategic advice about properties you have no idea about, building a relationship based on Zero contact to start, this all makes perfect sense.
I am confident in my skills to handle all of this, this is my job, when it becomes too much, then I will hire another qualified human to help out.
Change my mind?

This sounds exciting and real. We are on the precipice of changes that will fundamentally change how we interact in society. As you pointed out, this is not just real estate. It will be interesting to see how the general public accepts this technology. Will it be easy to incorporate, or will there be that hated learning curve?

So, which AI agent do you use?

In reply to Jeff Miller. I make it a priority to provide market data and offer personal viewings of competitive listings to buyers approaching my listings directly. That is actual representation. What you are describing is customer service (in the old days). I also require my sellers to be above board with disclosures. If everyone tells it straight up, no one gets upset.

Perhaps consider from BPO perspective – business process analysis. Hard to get away from conflict of interest. The listing agent knows the seller, has the home truths on property and market. So immediate issues of inequality. In “dual agency” with one agent as passive information provider, both buyer and seller are deprived of negotiation representation and left to their own devices…and leading to possible conflict. In the industry, buyer agent commissions can be seen as the compensation for working with a buyer and ultimately transacting a deal. The “dual agent” double-end “jackpot” commission arguably should be less as the listing agent had not been working with buyer did not negotiate and “simply” administered a deal However other factors such as communication, inspection, mortgage, lawyers, brokerage etc. need to be recognized “Risk” can be handled by industry insurance or not do dual agent

I am a commercial,industrial sales and leasing Agent. Most of my transactions I represent 2 or more parties. It’s important that parties understand what I must disclose and what must be kept confidential unless otherwise directed by a Principal. Price is left between the two parties and they understand and appreciate that. I am there to make sure information is exchanged accurately and fully. My Clients love it. So much easier to make a transaction work when you have a middleman to smooth out the lumps, make sure each party has their due diligence and document everything in writing. Honestly, commission rarely comes up. I don’t sell houses and I don’t understand what ought to be a relatively simple transaction has so much drama. IDK.
