echat's founder and CEO, Shayan Hamidi, believes AI is a perfect fit for real estate due to the numerous tasks agents must execute daily. However, he emphasizes that AI won't make the job easy; instead, it will require agents to work harder and commit to their profession long-term.

    Hamidi founded Rechat in 2015 as a "super app" for agents, which has evolved to incorporate AI at its forefront. The company's latest addition is Lucy, an AI assistant designed to help agents complete tasks more efficiently. Hamidi credits his background in computer science and math for his understanding of AI technology.

    Rechat aims to be the one-stop shop for real estate agents, offering marketing tools, a CRM, and transaction management center. Hamidi believes AI can bring down the learning curve for agents, making it easier for them to provide excellent client experiences. He emphasizes that AI-powered tools are not a replacement for human expertise but rather a means to augment their capabilities.

    In today's competitive market, Hamidi advises agents to be committed professionals who invest time and effort into their work. He warns against treating real estate as a part-time gig or expecting quick results; instead, it requires a long-term approach. With AI on the rise, Hamidi believes that everyone can have access to the tools they need to succeed in this competitive market.
