In this brief interview, Hannah Hammond discusses how AI-powered tools are transforming real‑estate brokerage work. She describes a junior broker who used an AI system to instantly compile comprehensive property data—store locations, square footage, parcel size, and landlord contact details—tasks that previously required manual research late into the night. Hammond argues that such automation frees brokers from "order‑taker" duties, allowing them to concentrate on relationship building, communication, and negotiation. She also warns of rising fraud risks in a digitized market: fake buildings, fabricated personas, and the complexities of tokenizing real‑estate assets on online marketplaces. In this new environment, the broker’s fiduciary role becomes even more critical to vet trustworthy investments and protect clients from scams.

I don't know what this kid did, one of my junior brokers, but in 15 minutes I had every store, their square footage, the parcel size, the landlord's contact information and phone number. When I started, that's what I was doing. I was like staying up until midnight putting these damn lists together and looking at like whitepages.com for some guy's cell phone number.
AI and these tools will allow us to be even more important and better at what we do because all of our time is freed up from the order taker task, doing, you know, research, analytics, and we can spend more time on the actual relationship, the actual communication, the negotiation. In a world where there's so much fraud, it's going are fake. People could create fake buildings online, fake personas online, like fake everything. The brokerage position, that fiduciary, that intermediary, is going to become even more important because there's going to be so many opportunities. Like, right, you could tokenize real estate and put it on a marketplace, but how do you know which one you want to invest in? How do you know which jockey to bet on? How do you know who's trustworthy? How do you know who's not taking your money and they don't even actually own any real estate?
