Have you gone through the entire process and bought a house? It's complicated. There is a lot more to it than showing houses. If it were anything like as easy as you suggest, it would be done already - it's a giant market with money sloshing around.
I don't buy that doctors, lawyers, software engineers or real estate brokers will be automated away in 20 years. As a society there has been 15 solid years put into automating driving a car - a skill so simple we allow 16 year olds with no formal training and half of who have an iq less than 100 to do it. Doctors, lawyers, software engineers and real estate brokers have jobs which are very complex compared to driving a car.
- giantg2 5y agoMost real estate is not complicated. It looks complicated to people who haven't done it. In most states there's a standard form and the process is simple. If things get complicated, then you need a real estate attorney.
- danielmarkbruce 5y agoGenuine question - have you bought a house? I struggle to see how anyone who has gone through the process would think it's not complicated.
- giantg2 5y agoYep, and my wife is an agent.
- danielmarkbruce 5y agoFair enough, maybe that's why it seems simple? You do enough of them it starts seeming easy? To me it seemed like there was a lot of moving parts throughout the process.
