In this podcast, Jeff Proctor discusses the role of technology in the real estate field. While acknowledging the impressive intelligence of AI, Jeff emphasizes that there are certain things that technology cannot replace, such as human experience in evaluating properties. Jeff highlights the failure of the iBuying system, where major companies purchased properties sight unseen, resulting in significant losses. He stresses the importance of having a human consultant to provide insights into the quality of construction, location, and other critical factors that AI cannot evaluate. While the JProctor Group embraces technology and utilize it for marketing purposes, Jeff cautions that it is essential to do thorough research before investing in any technology to ensure that one is not paying for a "bad product." Jeff concludes that technology will continue to advance, and while it is necessary to utilize it, there are certain aspects of real estate that require human interaction and experience.

The JProctor Property Podcast discusses the trends and projections for the spring real estate market in 2023. In this episode, Jeff Proctor notes that better quality inventory sells better, and properties that haven't been updated from a maintenance, style, or designer perspective will need refreshing. The demand for turnkey properties is high, although buyers are a bit more cautious in making quick decisions due to factors such as interest rates, stock market fluctuations, and uncertainty in general.
Demand is expected to increase as there is still a low supply of inventory. Buyers and sellers can expect prices to remain stable due to the low supply and high demand. As the spring progresses, the demand for properties is not expected to decrease.
