AI Is Changing How Consumers Find Professionals
Last week, we participated in a UWM Realtor One-Day Training. One of the most interesting topics was a presentation by a successful Realtor about how she has built her online professional presence.
She shared that if you ask ChatGPT:
“Who is the top Realtor in this area?”
her name may appear in the results.
Of course, strong business performance, expertise, and client reviews remain the most important foundations of success. At the same time, as more people use ChatGPT and other AI tools to find Realtors, mortgage professionals, and other service providers, it is becoming increasingly important to establish a strong online presence and provide useful, credible information that helps AI understand your expertise, experience, and professional reputation.
This trend is not limited to Realtors. It can apply to professionals across many different industries.
In the future, the way consumers find professional service providers may continue to evolve—from traditional Google searches to ChatGPT and other AI-powered search tools.
2027 UWM Realtor Training
We are planning to organize another UWM One-Day Training in Q2 or Q3 of 2027.
If you are a Realtor and would be interested in joining our next training trip, please let us know in advance. We typically organize approximately two trips per year, with a maximum of three Realtors per trip.
We hope this weekly market update is helpful.
Whether you are considering purchasing your first home, buying an investment property, or refinancing your existing mortgage, we are always happy to help you explore the loan options that may best fit your situation.
Have a great week! π
