Real Estate Agents Want Better AI Tools — And Much Better Training
Artificial intelligence has officially moved into the daily workflow of real estate professionals — but confidence in the technology still lags behind usage. A new survey from Realtors Property Resource reveals that while agents are embracing AI at record levels, many remain unsure about trusting those tools with higher‑stakes responsibilities.
Key Takeaways
The vast majority of agents use AI for everyday tasks like crafting listing descriptions, emails and social media posts.
Two‑thirds report saving at least one hour weekly, and a third save four hours or more.
Concerns around accuracy, compliance and data interpretation remain major roadblocks.
Agents want improved tools — and much stronger training.
AI Brings Time Savings, Efficiency and Faster Communication
The survey found that 82% of agents actively use AI in their business, and 92% either use it or plan to. For many, AI has become a behind‑the‑scenes assistant that helps streamline communication, refine marketing, and simplify content creation.
Of those surveyed, 71% said AI saves them valuable time, while 63% reported improved communication with clients and prospects. When every second counts in real estate, these small boosts translate into faster response times, more consistent messaging and increased capacity to generate leads.
More than two‑thirds of agents reported saving at least one hour per week thanks to AI — and 34% said they save four or more.
As one respondent put it: “AI helps me get to the point.”
The Trust Factor: Agents Still Wary of High‑Stakes AI Tasks
Even with widespread use, many agents remain hesitant to fully trust AI‑generated content — especially when legal, financial or compliance risks are involved. According to the survey, 52% feel only somewhat confident or not confident at all when using AI for client‑facing materials or complex decision‑making.
The top concerns include:
Accuracy of outputs — 63%
Compliance and legal risks — 49%
Misinterpretation of market data — 47%
Fair housing risks — 28%
These concerns make sense. Pricing strategies, CMAs, contract‑advising and market interpretation carry enormous responsibility. Agents may trust AI with an Instagram post — but a high‑stakes client report? Not yet.
What Agents Want Next: Better Tools and Better Training
The survey highlights a major opportunity: the real estate industry is entering a new era of AI adoption — but the tools and training must catch up. Agents are asking for:
Cleaner, more accurate comparative market analyses
Better pricing explanations and narratives
Client‑ready reports with stronger market interpretation
Hyper‑local insights that truly reflect each community
Just as importantly, real estate professionals want hands‑on training. Video walkthroughs, real‑world case studies and clearer guidelines for responsible AI use all ranked high on their list of needs.
Brokerages that implement AI standards and structured training systems will likely enjoy stronger productivity, lower liability and higher retention.

Long Island’s commercial real estate market just smashed every previous record, hitting an unprecedented $4.1 billion in 2025 deal volume—up a massive 71.5 percent from the year before. A surge in specialty-use properties like assisted living centers and self-storage facilities fueled the boom, alongside hundreds of new transactions across Nassau and Suffolk counties. With investor confidence rebounding, interest rates easing, and new buyer profiles entering the scene, the region has become one of the hottest real estate markets to watch.
Federal cuts to housing oversight in 2026 are creating a nationwide regulatory scramble, with states—especially California—rapidly stepping in to fill the gap. As the CFPB reduces its enforcement role, lawmakers and agencies across the country are crafting their own rules on mortgage compliance, consumer protection, affordability, and even AI‑driven underwriting. For real estate, mortgage, and finance professionals, the message is clear: state regulations are becoming just as influential as federal policy, making ongoing education and compliance awareness more critical than ever.
The insurance industry poured an eye‑opening $172 million into federal lobbying in 2025, making it the fourth‑largest lobbying sector in the country. Medical insurers led the spending, but property and casualty giants weren’t far behind, with APCIA, Nationwide, Liberty Mutual, and Allstate all landing among the top contributors. And this is only federal spending—state‑level influence, where regulations are truly shaped, remains vastly underreported. For professionals in insurance, real estate, and finance, these lobbying efforts play a powerful role in shaping regulations, costs, and the competitive landscape.
Florida’s home insurance market saw a 3.35% non-renewal rate last year—a small percentage that translated into hundreds of thousands of homeowners suddenly losing coverage. Driven by repeated storm damage, soaring construction costs, heavy litigation, and insurers pulling back from high-risk areas, the state’s insurance landscape is rapidly shifting. Homeowners now face higher premiums, fewer options, and tougher underwriting, while professionals in real estate, mortgage, and insurance must stay informed to guide clients through a tightening market.
Florida’s recent tort reforms are doing far more than reshaping the state’s legal system—they’re driving down property and casualty insurance costs by an average of 14.5% and injecting over $4.2 billion into the state’s economy each year. With nearly 30,000 jobs supported and state and local governments seeing hundreds of millions in new tax revenue, the changes are already transforming Florida’s insurance market. Lawsuits have dropped, insurers are returning, and businesses and homeowners alike are reaping the benefits of a more balanced, competitive, and financially resilient environment.
Major commercial real estate firms are reporting strong revenue and renewed market activity, signaling a rebound in dealmaking and office demand. Yet even with record earnings, CEOs from CBRE, Colliers, and Marcus & Millichap spent much of their earnings calls addressing a growing concern: whether artificial intelligence could threaten traditional brokerage and valuation roles. While leaders insist that complex transactions still rely on human relationships and negotiation, AI‑related market jitters briefly pushed some CRE stocks down before they recovered.
