AI Is Helping CRE Brokers Give Better Holiday Gifts

Greetings,

We’re beginning to see the effects of the recent DOJ settlement with RealPage. The fines were small, but the message was clear: real estate software firms are now on the federal government’s radar. The FTC has since issued warning letters to 13 property-management software providers, signaling closer oversight of data use and consumer practices across PropTech. The move shows the agency is ready to enforce compliance and prevent technology, especially rent algorithms and data handling, from enabling unfair or deceptive behavior.

This week we’re looking at how smarter tools are reshaping CRE brokerage, giving teams clearer visibility into their deals and helping them avoid the small misses that turn into lost clients. AI is already changing day-to-day work — from tools that personalize holiday gifts for hundreds of contacts at once to custom models that catch the last 10 percent of detail in a complex lease that generic software often misses. Together, these upgrades are pushing brokerages toward more proactive client service, cleaner workflows, and a real competitive edge.

Let’s go!
