This podcast presents a conference presentation by Dean Jones, focusing on how Jamaican real estate agents can succeed in the digital era. The material outlines a vision for the future of real estate in Jamaica, projecting growth and key trends like diaspora investment, infrastructure development, and a shift toward smart, sustainable, and affordable housing by 2035. A major theme is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, and smart contracts into real estate transactions, with the core message being that agents must evolve or risk being made irrelevant by tech-savvy competitors. Jones encourages agents to adopt a tech-savvy mindset, offering practical steps and tools for leveraging platforms like ChatGPT for tasks such as writing listings and creating digital marketing content. The presentation concludes by stressing that AI will not replace agents, but rather, agents using AI will replace those who do not.
