5 ways AI can improve the real estate industry




AI is expected to have a significant impact on the real estate industry in the coming years. This is why we are investing in new technologies that will enable us to empower our clients with the latest in cutting-edge tools to make their daily operations run smoother. We will soon launch a ground-breaking AI-powered feature into one of our core products. 

Looking into the crystal ball, it is becoming more clear how AI could potentially impact the industry, including:

1. Improved property valuations: AI algorithms could be used to more accurately value properties using a combination of historical and current for sale and sold data, as well as advanced image analysis, potentially reducing the need for human appraisers

2. Enhanced property listings: AI-powered platforms could make it easier for real estate agents to list properties, including by automatically generating listing descriptions and adding supplemental data.

3. Predictive analytics: AI could be used to analyse data on past property sales and other relevant factors to make more accurate predictions about future property values and trends.

4. Improved customer service: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants could be used to improve the customer experience by providing quick and accurate answers to common questions. High-performing agents empowered by AI tools will become even more productive by handing repetitive tasks to their AI virtual assistants.

5. Streamlined transaction processes: AI could be used to automate various aspects of the real estate transaction process, including contract creation and negotiation, reducing the time and effort required to complete a sale or purchase.

Overall, the adoption of AI in the real estate industry is likely to lead to more efficient and effective processes, as well as a better experience for both real estate agents and their clients.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

What is the Base Zapier integration? The Entegral Base system was recently improved with a native Zapier app integration . This allows estate agents to exchange data and create automated workflows with over 2000+ popular apps, including all the leading CRM specific apps.  Why even link a CRM system? Although Base has contact management, contact categories, automatic lead import, and other great CRM features , users sometimes require very specific CRM functions that we don't (yet) cater to. With our Zapier integration , we allow agents to link any popular app with Base. Once linked with your app, you can for instance automatically synchronise your contacts from Base to the external app or vice versa.  The added benefit is that you can create automated workflows and link more apps (e.g. insert contact details into a Mailchimp drip email campaign  and ZOHO CRM at the same time). This makes the Zapier fee irreverent compared to the derived benefits.  Automated portal l...

Property24 acquires Private Property, what do estate agents think?

Image
Property24.com, South Africa’s largest property portal owned by Naspers, has bought rival Private Property . The deal is likely to come under the close scrutiny of competition authorities as it involves the two biggest property portals in the country. Due to the impact of such an acquisition on the industry, Entegral was interested to find out what the perceived advantages and disadvantages of such a deal would be, both through the eyes of the consumer and the estate agent.   Here are the results from around 250 responses received on a survey done over a 2 day period , mostly from agents and agency owners. While the survey presents a small portion of the market (a ccording to the EAAB's latest annual report there are 19,424 registered agents and agency owners, excluding intern estate agents, in South Africa) , f eedback has been received from well-respected agency owners and agents, and we believe this gives a good indication of the current view of agents. The fear from estate ...
