Real Estate Robots?
April 8th, 2008 . by Jon ModeneThe Drudge Report headline is that in Japan there will be millions of robots doing jobs that humans used to do.
Will that happen in Perrysburg? Can we replace people with robots?
I wonder.
If we can automate highly repetitive processes – then the answer is yes.
If you think that judgment and empathy and intuition and insight and the ability to predict complex human behavior can be undertaken by machines and programmed into “artificial intelligence” then I have my doubts.
In fact, the professional real estate agents job is pretty safe. I had to price a house in Perrysburg today. Judgment and empathy and intuition and even the ability to predict human behavior (“buyers seem to pay more for East streets over West streets . . .”).
The numbers can lie.
The statistics can be massaged.
But a trusted sales professional can use a huge human database to guide a client to the best decision.
