Episode 242: Could AI Ever Replace Real Estate Agents? | Sean Scoffield, The Trusted Agent Podcast

What is a “trusted agent”? …And do they even exist in this age of readily accessible information? 

Sean Scoffield, the host of The Trusted Agent Podcast and the National Sales Manager of RESO – a digital real estate sales platform – joins us today to talk about the evolving role of real estate agents… Are they getting better or worse? 

We discuss the factors that make a real estate agent “trustworthy”, how AI does some things better than agents, buyers’ perceptions of agents, and whether or not agents are becoming obsolete.
