Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept in real estate tech—it’s quickly becoming a must-have. According to the newly released Tech 200 report by T3 Sixty, more than half of the top technology products used by real estate professionals now include some form of AI integration. From predictive analytics to automated property valuations, AI is reshaping how agents, brokers, and clients interact with the housing market.
What was once a novelty is now table stakes.
“AI is not a trend. It’s an expectation,” said Jack Miller, president and CEO of T3 Sixty. “Real estate professionals now rely on AI to stay competitive, streamline operations, and better serve clients.”
How AI Is Transforming Real Estate Tools
AI is showing up in nearly every part of the real estate process:
-
Lead Scoring & Follow-Up: Tools like kvCORE and Chime use AI to analyze customer behavior and determine which leads are most likely to convert, then automate personalized follow-up.
-
Valuation Models: Platforms such as HouseCanary and Clear Capital offer AI-driven home valuations, providing faster and more data-rich insights than traditional comps.
-
Market Forecasting: AI tools predict neighborhood trends, price fluctuations, and buyer behavior, giving agents a competitive edge.
-
Virtual Assistants: Chatbots and AI-powered schedulers now handle everything from answering client inquiries to booking home tours.
For real estate professionals, these tools aren’t just helpful—they’re becoming necessary to keep pace with a more digital-savvy clientele.
Why This Shift Matters
The real estate industry, historically slow to adopt tech, has accelerated its digital transformation since the pandemic. As more consumers search for homes online, expectations for faster responses and more detailed insights have grown. AI helps meet those expectations by handling tasks that would otherwise take hours of manual work.
At the same time, AI isn’t replacing real estate professionals—it’s enhancing them. Agents now have more time to build relationships and provide local expertise, while letting the tech handle data-heavy tasks behind the scenes.
“AI gives us superpowers,” said Lisa Tran, a broker based in Denver. “It lets us focus on the human side of the business, which is ultimately what builds trust.”
Looking Ahead
As AI becomes standard in more real estate platforms, tech literacy will become just as important as market knowledge for professionals. And as these tools improve, buyers and sellers can expect more personalized and efficient experiences—from smarter home recommendations to near-instant loan pre-approvals.
With more than 100 AI-integrated products now listed in the Tech 200, it’s clear that the future of real estate is being built on intelligent systems. Those who adapt early stand to benefit the most.
