> As someone who is very interested in AI and taught myself how to code (I don’t know any other real estate people who know anything about code), I think it’s going to be incredible hard to uproot the brokerage industry.

Has learning to code generated any benefit to you? What areas do you think have space for code to help buyers?

I think there are many, and - 'AI' or not - a clever tool can generate real value for buyers. Things like mis-zoned units, unreported square footage, signs of buyer motivation, estimates of homeowner equity, etc. can be estimated by good buyers agents but could be made available to everyone for a small subscription.

There is 0.5 mb of data per home in the US. Too much for a person to sift through, typically. We use LLMs to break that down into actionables for families via text message. The goal is to keep things digestable. People can understand if their unit is mis-zoned if you use it in this simple phrasing, but not what a "RM-3 District" is (common type of zoning in SF). The LLM + search abilities can explain a lot - this is how most people learn things about real estate, this process of googling phrases they don't know
