In an interview with Mix 106.3’s The Real Estate Show, REIACT CEO Maria Edwards talks about the use of AI in the real estate industry. Whilst Edwards acknowledges the efficiency it can bring to real estate agent’s day to day, she highlights the importance of transparency and fact-checking to maintain the community’s trust. Edwards also said that the industry remains a people-focused profession where relationships and empathy matter most.
