Technology has been a wonderful addition to the Real Estate industry but the role of an Agent will never be replaced and here’s why. Every Real Estate transaction is unique and can be unpredictable. And when things become a bit crazy like they are now, the human factor becomes even more important.
Since buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial transactions most of us will make, it can also be an emotional process and that’s something Technology can never address on its own.
And while Technology is important because it can quickly gather data, the information isn’t always accurate which means you need a good Agent to quickly interpret and explain the material!
Agents are also essential because they look after their Clients’ interests. Especially now, legal issues are more complex and disclosures, negotiations, inspections, and appraisals are all there to protect the Client and none of these can be addressed by algorithms.
So to protect yourself and to get the best deal possible, you need excellent Technology and an exceptional Agent because every transaction comes down to trust and relationships!
