The hype around AI is everywhere, and understandably so. It’s powerful, innovative, and promises to reshape entire industries, including real estate. Yet it’s essential to get clear on one thing: AI itself isn’t a business strategy—it’s a tool, a powerful advantage that can elevate your existing strategy.
For real estate brokers, the stakes of embracing AI effectively might be the highest in the industry. Compared to agents, teams, franchises, Realtor Associations, MLS providers, and technology vendors, brokers operate on notoriously thin margins. AI presents brokers with an unprecedented opportunity to reclaim control, reducing their reliance on rented systems and third-party solutions.
By investing in robust data infrastructure, brokers position themselves to harness AI as a genuine force multiplier. Imagine AI operators as invaluable members of your staff—critical cogs that make your brokerage run smoother, faster, and smarter.
Just a month ago, we wrote about the Three Pillars of AI. At the basic level, a premium subscription to services like ChatGPT offered impressive capabilities—researching the internet and providing insightful responses. Yet it remained limited in one crucial way: it couldn’t take action.
Today, that’s changed dramatically.
Recent advancements showcased by OpenAI demonstrate just how actionable AI has become. In one compelling example, AI handled everything related to attending a friend’s wedding: reviewing the event details, shopping for clothes, buying gifts, and booking travel. The leap from “informational” to “operational” AI is transformative.
In a recent WAV Group webinar, we explored how one brokerage successfully deployed AI to onboard 25 agents monthly, enhance their recruitment efforts, and streamline agent support. While these capabilities are exciting, the true strategic advantage lies at the MCP (Model Context Protocol) level. Here, AI operates seamlessly within a brokerage’s data infrastructure, connecting applications securely and ensuring compliance.
The fundamentals of brokerage strategy haven’t changed, but AI now equips brokers with superpowers—dramatically enhancing efficiency and empowering agents to excel. A key area of opportunity for real estate is collaboration between the MLS and the Brokerage on MCP servers. We wrote a nice piece on MLS MCP servers that is worth reading, and we have an upcoming webinar on the topic that MLSs and brokerages should attend.
