7 July 2024 M T E C H the market, one that lets consumers have a conversation as though they're talking to a local real estate agent. A prospective buyer can use Flyhomes AI to go as deep in the shopping journey as they'd like, all on their own time and without any sales pressure." "There's a common misperception that AI is here to replace people and jobs. That's not how we see it at Flyhomes, and not how we see it playing out in real estate," said Abhijeet Dwivedi, Chief Growth Officer of Flyhomes. "Buyer's agents are still going to play an import- ant role in the transaction, but you can't ignore that the buyer-agent relationship is going to change after August 17. No one knows exactly how buyers and agents will work together in this new world, but we do know consumers will need access to information and that agents will be under pressure to demonstrate value like never before. That's why we designed Flyhomes AI for a dual application, serving the needs of consumers and also giving agents a powerful tool to unlock data and resources they can use to better serve their clients." With the new Flyhomes search and research portal, both consumers and agents will have access to dozens of unique datasets from sources like the US Census, FEMA, and the USGS, as well as records from states, counties, cities, and even local fire departments. Each data set has been carefully parsed, categorized, and layered over the data provided by the multiple listing services (MLS) to create a complete picture for buyers.
