What this task is
Agents shuttle between buyer and seller to negotiate price and payment terms, and earn clients' trust during what is often the largest purchase of their lives, bringing the deal to a close.
How AI replaces it
Buying a home is a high-stakes choice where people rely on trust in a person, and negotiation needs reading emotions and judging on the spot. AI negotiation aids may grow from 2032, but replacement is unlikely before 2045.
What stays human
Agents' core value becomes earning trust and negotiating well, backing their advice with AI-provided sales data and valuations so clients feel confident in their decisions.
