We get it — there are many ways to approach AI in real estate. Here's an honest, side-by-side look at how USIG stacks up against doing it yourself or sticking with traditional methods.
Many agents and loan officers try to piece together their own AI stack using free tools, YouTube tutorials, and weekend projects. The hidden cost? Your time, your sanity, and the leads you lose while figuring it out.
A study by the National Association of Realtors found that 78% of buyers work with the first agent who responds. If your response time is measured in hours instead of seconds, you're leaving money on the table every single day.
