REIT CEO Michelle Tynan said she was proud to partner with Elite Agent – AI Powered Agents to deliver high level training to her members.
“The REIT, along with REIV, REIACT and the REIQ, see enormous value for REI members to be able to access industry-leading education through the AI Powered Agents training offering.
“AI technology is quickly becoming an integral part of real estate businesses, and it is imperative that our members have access to the most updated training to ensure that their businesses are equipped to meet the continuing demand by consumers for immediate information.
“With so many AI tools coming to market, this course will allow our members to understand and make informed decisions for what are the best solutions for themselves and their clients.”
REIACT CEO, Maria Edwards, echoed those thoughts, referring to the AI Powered Agent course as a “game-changer”.
“Property listings are set to significantly increase in September, so standing out among all the other Spring listings and getting an edge is going to be important.
“The AI Powered Agents course is a game-changer.
“It’s not just about adopting new technology – it’s about using AI to build stronger relationships with clients and drive business growth.”
The REIQ CEO, Antonia Mercorella, highlighted the importance of staying ahead of the curve in a rapidly changing market.
“As the industry continues to evolve, it’s crucial that our members are equipped with the skills and knowledge to remain competitive.
“The AI Powered Agents course provides a unique opportunity for Queensland agents to future-proof their businesses and thrive in an AI-driven market.”
“As we stand at the threshold of an AI-powered real estate industry, one question remains: will you be leading the charge or playing catch-up?
“We want our members to lead the charge, shaping the future of real estate.”
REIV CEO Kelly Ryan said the partnering opportunity had come at the right time.
“By empowering agents with AI skills, we’re not only upskilling the industry but also elevating the customer experience.
“As AI adoption grows, it’s essential that real estate professionals understand how to harness its potential to deliver personalised services, streamline processes, and stay ahead of the competition.
“What sets this program apart is its focus on tangible results: an opportunity to learn proven, implementable strategies to leverage AI and drive real business growth, not just theoretical concepts.
“We’re excited to see our members leverage AI to create new opportunities and improve customer experiences.”
While generative AI presents new opportunities for efficiency and productivity, Ms McLean affirmed that the real estate industry has always been about relationships, and AI won’t change that.
“What AI will do is free up time for agents to focus on what truly matters – building connections and delivering exceptional service.
“As the real estate industry continues to evolve, one thing is clear: AI will play a critical role in shaping its future.
“With the AI Powered Agents course, we’re not just preparing agents for the changes ahead – we’re empowering them to lead the way.
“I’m excited to see the impact our graduates will have on the industry and the clients they serve.”
The AI Powered Agents course will begin rolling out across participating states and territories from August 29, 2024. For more information and to register, visit aiagentcourse.com.
