Summary

Real estate agents face moderate risk as AI automates property matching, market valuations, and contract generation. While algorithms handle administrative logistics and data analysis, human agents remain essential for high-stakes negotiations, physical property inspections, and managing the emotional complexities of a transaction. The role will shift from a data gatekeeper to a strategic consultant focused on relationship building and expert advocacy.
