I love the idea of synchronicity. A former student of mine sent me this podcast because he knows how much I love philosophy and metaphysics. Today I happened to listen to this particular podcast, and there it was, synchronicity. What initially piqued my interest, was the idea of a school asking if parents wanted AI counselors for their children, as they would be unbiased, have no prejudice, etc. At what future cost? And then I thought…the same holds true for most professions.

In connection with buying or selling a property, it isn’t just a transaction unless you’re an investor; it can be a deeply personal and emotional journey. While AI excels at analyzing data trends and market dynamics, it falls short when it comes to understanding the unique aspirations, preferences, and emotions of individual clients. Realtors bring empathy, intuition, and human connection to the table, guiding clients through the intricate process with care and understanding. In many cases, we take on the role of therapists. We have the capacity as humans to adjust to nuances of human behavior and needs. A skilled professional listens attentively to their clients’ needs, offering tailored recommendations and solutions that go beyond mere numbers. Whether it’s finding the perfect family home, navigating a complex negotiation, or providing emotional support, we serve as trusted advisors who prioritize our clients’ best interests above all else.
Real estate transactions entail a myriad of legal, financial, and logistical complexities that demand human guidance. While AI can provide data-driven insights, they cannot replace the expertise and acumen necessary to ensure smooth and successful transactions. We serve as liaisons between buyers and sellers, facilitating communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution. Our ability to bridge gaps and forge mutually beneficial agreements is invaluable. We make sure our clients meet important contingencies. We research, calculate, compare, and verify. We do not just show up at a home to open the door. That is just one step of many from reviewing the property disclosure, writing the offer, negotiating inspections, dealing with appraisals, legal issues, the loan, insurance, the title company, final walkthrough, etc. What happens when you need representation? By leveraging our extensive networks and industry connections, we empower our clients to make informed decisions and achieve their real estate goals with confidence. We make the process easy on our clients so all they need to concentrate on is moving. Deep understanding cannot be achieved with AI.
Despite the advancements in AI, human relationships remain irreplaceable. Let’s not forget that humans invented AI. AI would not exist without us. We need to learn how to ethically live together, not step aside now that it exists. From empathetic listening to shared laughter, the intricacies of human interaction cannot be replicated by AI. Human agency is essential for fostering genuine connections, building trust, and nurturing empathy.
And after all is said and done, who are you going to call or text who will share in your excitement when those flowers bloom in the back yard, or when you paint a room, or remodel a kitchen? AI will not hug you and cheer for you when you achieve a real estate goal, but I will.
