And I can show you the before and after. Now I can show you Apple. I can show you West Elm. I can show you whatever I want. I could take a Google Street View and do that.

A serious consideration when using an AI platform is its ability to keep confidential client information private and secure. Platforms such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Anthropic\u2019s Claude offer enterprise versions with special controls designed to safeguard sensitive data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom-up adoption of AI tools by individual brokers can prompt companies to set up organizational accounts that have better checks and balances to maintain privacy. \u201cI think it\u2019s really imperative that organizations are starting to define and understand how they want to roll out these strategies, because if they don\u2019t, then the individuals that work for various organizations are going to do it themselves,\u201d noted Hernandez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over-reliance on AI can also compromise the quality of a broker\u2019s output. For instance, lease abstraction software can swiftly scan a lease agreement, extract key information and generate an abstract that some brokers may send to the client without reviewing it. \u201cI would highly recommend against it because it\u2019s not always accurate and there will be mistakes,\u201d said Dale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And AI in its current form cannot match the level of understanding that an experienced broker can bring to the table. \u201cGoing out and researching comps and trying to understand trends and seeing the big-picture cycles are much more nuanced things that generative AI and large language models are going to be much more challenged with,\u201d said Franklin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, he added, \u201cthe models are getting smarter, the capabilities are getting stronger and the range of things that AI will be applicable to is getting much wider.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a0b3bc9f1ca8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"alignright size-large is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-attachment-id=\"1004759277\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/cre-brokers-lean-into-ai\/headshot_connordale\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Headshot_ConnorDale.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Headshot_ConnorDale\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Connor Dale&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Connor Dale&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Headshot_ConnorDale.jpg?w=800\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Headshot_ConnorDale.jpg?w=800\" alt=\"Connor Dale Headshot\" class=\"wp-image-1004759277\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Headshot_ConnorDale.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Headshot_ConnorDale.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Headshot_ConnorDale.jpg?resize=768,576 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Connor Dale<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d3e3fd\">Connor Dale, a senior associate broker at NAI Hiffman, leveraged AI platform Perplexity to help a health-care client identify a suitable location for its national expansion.<br>The platform, which fetches information from the web in real time while answering questions, generated demographic reports and competitor mapping that helped Dale\u2019s team create and narrow down a list of cities that seemed to offer the strongest opportunities for his client.<br>Homing in on the west Houston area, the team used Perplexity to pinpoint the company\u2019s rivals on a map and find gaps within the market.
