3 ways to use AI when buying a home

AI plays a part in our everyday lives, but how can it help us when searching for a new home? This article will reveal 3 ways AI helps our customers to find their dream home.

If it's been a while since you last moved house, you'll be amazed at how dramatically the landscape of property searches and technology has changed. Gone are the days when buyers had to individually register their interest with every agent on the high street, often requiring an in-person visit to the branch.

 

Emails of properties would come through as they were listed, but a common complaint was that many of these properties were simply not suitable. Whether the agent was registering your information onto their database with limited detail about what you're looking for or their filtering system was only selecting properties that were within a wide price bracket, you would soon find your inbox cluttered with properties you're just not interested in. If you're looking to move for the first time in decades, you might even remember physical brochures being sent to you through the post, leaving your recycling box filled with wasted paper.

 

Fast forward to the present day, and things couldn't be more different. Of course, many estate agents across the country still operate in an analogue fashion, with a list of applicants looking to buy and a manual process to alert them to new properties that come onto the market. But, when considering the busy pace within an estate agency office, there will be many properties and buyers that can slip through the cracks when relying on this process to find a new home.

 

An agent with their finger on the pulse should be utilising modern technology, innovation, and, in 2025, AI. Far more than doctoring an image to create something 'out of this world' or writing impersonal, immediate responses to emails, AI has become an integral part of the estate agency businesses that are dominating their local areas. It's not just a buzzword, but a tool that can significantly enhance your home buying journey.

 

So, how does this help you?

 

Utilising AI in an estate agency business comes down mainly to time. It is labour-intensive to make a phone call to every potential buyer for a new property and costly to post hard-copy brochures, particularly when limited information has been gathered about that buyer's search needs. If a new property comes onto the market that is perfect for you, and the agent has not yet managed to call you or send you emails or even mail about the property, it could be snapped up by a buyer who happened to get in touch with them at the right time, viewing and offering before you've even had a chance to look through the photographs.

 

How do we utilise AI in our agency?

 

  • You're in control - By registering your information with us, you're in control of the types of properties you're interested in. This goes beyond just a location and a price. You can specify in detail what you need from your next home, and our AI system will ensure that you're sent information about a property that matches your criteria as soon as it becomes available.

 

  • Don't miss out - With our systems, we can quickly identify properties that suit your requirements and instantly send them to you so you don't miss out.

 

  • Secret properties too - some sellers prefer not to publicly broadcast the fact that their home is for sale, choosing instead to market the property 'under the table'. Our buyers will still be notified if a property like this fits your criteria, even if it is not listed on our websites.

 

As a result of our integrated AI usage within our company and the innovative technology we harness, properties sell faster and for a higher price because we can pinpoint the perfect buyer for each property.
