AI’s Pervasive Influence in Real Estate: A Transformative Shift

In a revealing report by RISMedia, the 2025 Real Estate Leadership AI Survey conducted by Delta Media Group highlights the sweeping integration of artificial intelligence within the real estate sector. The survey indicates that nearly 90% of brokerage leaders now report their agents’ active use of AI tools, illustrating a 7% increase from the previous year.

Michael Minard, CEO and owner of Delta Media Group, underscores the transformative nature of AI, stating, “AI is no longer a new shiny object; it’s fast become an irreplaceable tool for brokerages and agents alike.” This shift is evident as AI’s role expands beyond marketing and content creation to encompass customer support and administrative automation.

The survey, which gathered insights from over 100 residential brokerage leaders responsible for more than half of all US real estate transactions, reveals a remarkable change in AI adoption and perception. Leaders rated AI’s current significance at 5.9 out of 10, up from 5.0 in 2024, with future importance anticipated to rise to 7.2—a 22% increase.

Key Findings

  • Broader Demographic Adoption: Age-based disparities in AI usage have vanished, and gender gaps have narrowed, with both male and female leaders reporting high AI engagement.
  • Top AI Use Cases: While creating property descriptions remains the primary application, AI is increasingly used for digital marketing, client communications, data analysis, and administrative task automation.
  • Easing Risk Concerns: The percentage of leaders highly concerned about AI risks fell from 50.4% in 2024 to 42.2% in 2025.
  • Operational Shift: Brokerages are moving from marketing-focused AI applications to broader operational uses, reflecting a strategic shift toward holistic technology integration.

Medium to large brokerages, with their scale and resources, are leading AI adoption, while smaller brokerages face challenges that limit widespread implementation. As we look to the future, Delta anticipates 2025 as a pivotal year for AI in real estate, with expanded usage in automation and customer service poised to redefine operational efficiency.
