Friday Flash: The coming Realtor boom
“Things I’ve heard a lot, then and now:
1999: “Technology won’t replace Realtors; Realtors using technology will replace Realtors.”
2025: “AI won’t replace Realtors; Realtors using AI will replace Realtors.”
The NAR had 761,000 members in 1999. Today that number is just under double that.
I still know agents who have AOL addresses and make their assistants print out disclosure packets.
Nothing replaced anybody.
The 2025 version of this take will be just as wrong. I think AI is going to create more real estate agents, not fewer, both directly and indirectly.”
I love, love, love this take. Great read.
