For real estate, don't expect automation change anything for the next couple of decades. Yes, all the goodies like online forms, video tours, etc. are already there and RE agents are using them all the time. But it's not the bulk of the work, it's helping people to find what they need at the price they need, and that's much harder to automate. There's a lot of local and domain specific knowledge there that is very hard to capture. As for manual trades like electrical or plumbing - there's nothing even close to "technological disruption" happening there, in fact, if anything, it's going backwards - with time, the gadgets we have become more complex, the regulations pile on, the infrastructure ages, and it becomes harder and harder to do those jobs. And there's absolutely no signs any automation is even on the horizon there.
