Will AI Replace Real Estate Agents?

A Florida homeowner used ChatGPT to sell his house for $100,000 more than expected—but what does that really mean for real estate agents, financial advisors, and other professionals?

In this segment on Fox 5 New York, tech expert Shelly Palmer breaks down what’s actually happening with AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude—and why the real story isn’t about job loss, but productivity and competitive advantage.

Shelly explains:

  • How AI helped a homeowner rethink pricing, marketing, and renovations
  • Why AI won’t replace professionals—but professionals using AI will
  • The biggest mistake people make when using ChatGPT
  • Why prompting isn’t the secret—your knowledge is
  • A powerful trick: how to make AI “ask you questions” to get better results

If you work in real estate, finance, law, or any knowledge-based profession, this is a must-watch conversation about how AI is transforming your industry right now.
