AI applied to the Real Estate sector

In recent weeks, major AI models have been launched again. GPT-4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7 and several open-source alternatives promise faster, more powerful and more efficient performance. They can remember longer contexts, process complex documents and are better at reasoning.
But what does this really mean for the real estate sector? Will valuations and due diligence processes suddenly be automated effortlessly? Or is it mainly a matter of smart application?
I follow these developments closely and translate them to the real estate sector. Because impressive technology is only valuable if you know how to use it to save time and money.

Many real estate companies still work with inefficient, manual processes. AI can make an immediate difference here:
- Automated Contract Analysis – AI reads rental agreements and service charge statements, detects anomalies and flags risks in seconds.
- Smarter real estate data building – AI can fill in missing property features and structure real estate data, making analytics more reliable.
- More efficient investment analysis – AI can extract relevant information from information memoranda (IMs) and convert it directly into a clear report.
But the real revolution goes beyond these applications. The most important development at the moment? AI agents.

Manus has been the talk of the town in the AI world in recent days. This model is presented as the next step in AI: an agent that not only gives advice, but also carries out tasks independently and makes proactive decisions.
What does this mean for the user?
- They take work completely out of your hands. No more asking individual questions, but an AI that automatically enriches real estate data and signals trends.
- They work in the background. No chat interface where you have to constantly give input, but an AI that optimizes processes independently.
- They combine different tasks. From contract analysis to data enrichment and report generation—AI agents can manage complete workflows.
And what about your Agent-era?
The technology is here. But the question is: how do you use these new AI capabilities in real estate? In the coming years, AI will not only support, but actually take over work.
In my next post I will delve deeper into how AI is changing the role of the appraiser. Which models and techniques are most suitable? And what does this mean in concrete terms for valuation processes?
