AI has dramatically enhanced operational efficiency by automating routine tasks that once consumed significant amount of time and resources. Property managers now leverage AI to streamline rent collection, automate maintenance scheduling, and manage leases with unprecedented accuracy and speed. Advanced algorithms analyze patterns in maintenance requests, occupancy rates, and rental market trends, providing actionable insights for strategic decision-making. Please join James Scott, Director of Industry and Research Scientist at the MIT Center for Real Estate, for an in-depth webinar exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing numerous tasks in property management.
Learning Objectives:
- Discover how AI automates core property management tasks-such as rent collection, maintenance scheduling, and lease management.
- Learn how advanced AI analytics can uncover trends in maintenance, occupancy, and market dynamics, empowering smarter, data-driven decisions.
- Understand the impact of AI integration, including real-world examples resulting in operational efficiency.
James Scott, who is working with IREM as Technology Innovator-in-Residence, is Lead Researcher for the MIT Real Estate Innovation Lab (REIL). REIL merges MIT’s school of real estate with its technological capabilities to create an innovative real estate tech research platform. Among other projects at REIL, Scott has been responsible for creating a global database of all real estate-oriented technology companies, and has identified over 1,800, with that number continuing to rise. His experience with this project further validates the impact of technology on the world of real estate. As Innovator-in-Residence at IREM, Scott’s goal is to identify innovations that can help IREM members operate their buildings more efficiently, improve their properties’ competitive positioning, and better serve tenants and clients.
