YouTube video (Scott Selleck) arguing that AI provides general estimates and scripts but cannot replace local market expertise. Emphasizes that agents provide micro-neighborhood and home-condition interpretation; buyers/sellers arrive with AI-generated expectations; local examples include differences between Tenafly Colonial homes in East Clinton vs. near Churchill Road and Leonia, and the influence of New York commuters on sales velocity.

The AI enabled agent advantage is very important to work. For example, AI is like the newest estimate. Clients show up with an AI generated checklist. AI gives like a basically a general advice, but I provide local interpretation. AI cannot evaluate like that micro neighborhood or home condition. That I can really explain in detail. Here's the truth. Your buyers and sellers are already being advised by AI. They're showing up with these AI generated expectations. AI scripts for negotiating according to experts. Often full page read. Why is this important? Because AI sees data. I see the market, the local market. You know, AI doesn't know basically that like a Tenafly colonial in East Clinton trades differently than one near Churchill Road and Leonia. Homes move faster because they attract New York commuters.
