How Emerging Technologies Are Revolutionizing Real Estate and Mortgages

 

The real estate and mortgage industries are entering a tech-driven era, with cutting-edge innovations like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and robotic process automation (RPA) reshaping the way we work. From simplifying workflows to strengthening client relationships, these advancements are poised to create exciting opportunities for agents, brokers, lenders, and homebuyers alike.

We spoke with leaders from top tech companies in real estate—past winners of the prestigious HousingWire Tech100 Award—to get their thoughts on how emerging technologies will impact the industry. Here’s what they had to say about the future of real estate tech.


AI: The Key to Stronger Agent-Client Relationships

Scott Martino, CEO of Endpoint, emphasizes that while AI has already improved efficiency through automated workflows and at-scale communication, its real potential lies in strengthening human connections.

“AI should make life simpler for agents and brokers, helping them build stronger relationships with clients without feeling overwhelmed by technology,” Martino explains. “The goal is to transform the industry while keeping the agent-client connection at the heart of every transaction.”


Efficiency Through Automation

Pat Theodora, CEO and Co-founder of DocMagic, highlights AI’s role in saving time and reducing friction in the mortgage process.

“Our AI-powered AutoPrep solution can e-enable documents in seconds, cutting down processing time for everyone involved in the eMortgage process,” Theodora says. “This is just the beginning of how AI can enhance efficiency in the industry.”


Personalized Service Through AI Insights

 

For Jimmy Kelly, CEO of Lone Wolf Technologies, AI and ML are valuable tools for enhancing—not replacing—the work of agents and brokers.

“AI-generated insights can power personalized marketing campaigns or automate administrative tasks, freeing agents to focus on building human connections,” Kelly notes. “But clean, well-organized data is essential—without it, even the smartest algorithms won’t deliver meaningful results.”


Strategic Decision-Making with Predictive Analytics

According to Trevor Gauthier, CEO of ACES, AI, ML, and RPA are already revolutionizing how mortgages are underwritten, streamlining repetitive tasks, and improving decision-making with predictive analytics.

“These technologies allow us to underwrite mortgages faster and more accurately, while administrators can focus on strategic work,” Gauthier explains. “The insights provided by AI empower us to make better decisions for our clients, setting a new standard for the industry.”


What This Means for You

Whether you’re a real estate agent looking to streamline your operations, a broker aiming to better serve clients, or a buyer eager for a smoother experience, these emerging technologies are making it all possible.

From personalized service to faster mortgage approvals, the future of real estate is bright—and tech is leading the way.
