What happens when brokerages don’t trust their numbers? In this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, Loft47’s Sasha Hryciuk and Tracy Simmons uncover a quiet but big problem with real estate. That is, most intermediaries do not have accurate and reliable financial information.
Here’s a statistic that makes every brokerage uncomfortable: Over 60% don’t trust their financial situation. Not only is it inaccurate, it’s not trusted.
From back-office system failures to duplicate data entry to unreliable reporting, we explain why this problem is more common than people think, and why it’s becoming more dangerous in an AI-driven world.
We also explore how AI is transforming operations, why accuracy is more important than speed, and what happens when automation meets compliance, audit, and financial responsibility.
