People-powered tech: Sharran Srivatsaa and Pritesh Damani on how AI is empowering agents and elevating the client experience

Elevate: The Official Podcast of Elite Agent Magazine

“When an agent joins a brokerage, the general question they ask is, “Hey Sharran”, can you give me a list of who to go to for what? ….The team built this little blue wavy bar that always hangs out on all the screens, and so you can either email support or just ask Leo the question because Leo can find an answer for you at 11:00 PM at night.” – Sharran Shrivatsaa

“You can ask a question like, how much money did I make last month? And that’s an example of data that we have that we’ve already crunched, [and] the AI can answer you in a meaningful way,” – Pritesh Damani

The integration of AI in real estate is not just a trend; it’s becoming a fundamental shift in the buying, selling and property marketing journey.

That’s the view of The Real Brokerage President Sharran Srivatsaa and CTO Pritesh Damani, who, in this episode of the Elevate Podcast, hosted by Samantha McLean, take a deep dive into the seismic shifts occurring in real estate, driven by innovative technology and strategic thinking.

The pair dissect Real’s groundbreaking ownership model, what attracted them to the brokerage and how they are reinventing connectivity and creativity in the real estate landscape.

They also reveal why agents need to harness the power of AI or risk getting left behind and reveal the three-pronged approach that will see them dominate not just the technology but a competitive market.

Sharran and Pritesh also share how Real created its internal AI assistant ‘Leo’, how it has revolutionised the way their agents work and the clever way the technology enticed a 100 per cent adoption rate with ultra-personalised interactions.

The pair also explore the possibility of a real estate super app, why AI has the power to dramatically change the way buyers validate their property search experience and the big question – Will AI replace agents?
