Quiz helps agents assess how ready they are for AI
Why this matters now
Estate agents face accelerating change as AI-powered search and digital marketing automation reshape how buyers and sellers find properties. A short online quiz published by Estate Agent Today aims to give agencies a quick diagnostic of how prepared their business is to adopt and benefit from these technologies — and, just as importantly, how vulnerable they may be to disruption.
What the quiz checks
The assessment focuses on practical, high-impact areas agents need to review now:
Data and systems
Do your listings, CRM and marketing systems contain clean, well-structured data that an AI can use? Poor data quality will limit automation benefits and can amplify errors when AI models surface search results or automate listings.
Skills and processes
Are staff trained to use AI tools and to oversee automated outputs? Agencies that pair human judgement with automation will see better outcomes than those that simply delegate tasks to tools without oversight.
Vendors and tools
Have you reviewed vendor claims and controls? Agents should verify data handling, model explainability, and support for compliance before integrating new AI services into marketing or workflows.
Legal and reputational risks
Automation can introduce regulatory and reputational exposures — for example, biased targeting in digital ads or incorrect property details. The quiz prompts firms to consider safeguards and escalation paths for automated errors.
Immediate actions recommended
Based on typical quiz outcomes, experts suggest a short action plan to reduce risk and capture opportunity:
- Run a data audit to identify gaps and clean structured fields for listings and contacts.
- Map where AI could automate repeat tasks and pilot in low-risk areas first (e.g., lead scoring, email automation).
- Provide focused training so staff can interpret AI outputs and override where necessary.
- Review vendor contracts for data use, security and auditability.
- Monitor performance and build a feedback loop to correct errors and improve models.
Take the quiz — and act
The diagnostic is intended as a practical first step, not a definitive audit. Agents who complete the quiz can identify weak points quickly and prioritise improvements. As AI adoption accelerates, agencies that assess readiness now and move on the highest-impact fixes will reduce risk and gain an edge in marketing efficiency and customer experience.
