Why AI in real estate
Real estate is one of the sectors most profoundly transformed by generative AI.
The property market is undergoing a deep structural shift: pressure on margins and commissions, fully digital buying journeys, competition from platforms and low-fee models, and growing demands from both vendors and buyers. In this context, estate agencies, developers and networks are looking for tangible levers to improve efficiency without losing the human relationship that defines their value. Artificial intelligence is one such lever — provided you understand precisely where it creates value and where it is merely a passing trend.
That is exactly what this AI keynote for real estate addresses. Romain Rissoan shows, with real examples, how property professionals are already using artificial intelligence in their day-to-day work: AI-assisted valuations cross-referencing market data, optimised listings generated in seconds, automatic qualification of vendor leads, co-pilots to prepare viewings and mandates, and conversational assistants for client relations. Every use case is grounded in the reality of an agency, a network or a new-build programme, with its measurable gains and its limitations.
The tone is deliberately practical and jargon-free, calibrated for both network directors and branch managers as well as frontline negotiators. The goal is not to impress with technology, but to give everyone a clear picture of what they can implement from the very next day — and to address legitimate concerns about the role of the human touch in a profession built on trust and advice.
