Thought Leaders – Real Estate Re-imagined (formerly The Elevate Podcast) Superpowers: Jeff Turner on how AI is changing businesses, how real estate will benefit and why ‘play’ is necessary in a fast-changing world
Entrepreneur and tech advisor Jeff Turner discusses how AI is going to shake up the world of real estate, the risks that come with it and what you can do so you’re not left behind.
The last time Jeff Turner felt this excited about a new piece of technology was when he first laid eyes on a Mac computer in 1984.
The entrepreneur and tech advisor says AI and tools such as ChatGPT will have an equally large effect on the world, and businesses that don’t use it will be left behind.
In this episode of the Elevate podcast with Elite Agent Managing Editor, Samantha McLean, Jeff discusses what real estate professionals need to do now to capitalise on this new generation of technology.
He talks about which, if any, segments of the real estate sector will be safe from AI, the impact on property listings and how writing them has already change, and how you can implement AI in your business.
Jeff also reveals why now more than ever agents need to be able to demonstrate, what their true value is and why nothing will ever change the need for human interaction.
“I think the agents who are creative in their understanding of how to utilise the technology are going to be given superpowers. They’re going to be more efficient, they’re going to get more done, and those who don’t embrace it will be beaten by those who do.” – Jeff Turner
