A cautionary tale about AI...

I've been working on analyzing comparable sales for an upcoming possible listing, and my analysis and what my client thinks the property is worth are very different.

Curious where this figure came from that the potential client has quoted, I started looking at various sources the public has available, the most obvious being just to type the address in the search bar and ask what it is worth. The rabbit hole I went down was interesting.

First, the response gave me a figure in the range of what the owner mentioned, and listed several "comparable" homes. None of these home were close by (most 7-8 miles away across this small county), most were not comparable in style or square footage. Taking a couple of them I researched the MLS sold listings, mapped the distance, etc. and countered back to the AI that they were too far / too different for an appraiser to use them to justify value.

AI's response was "You are entirely correct; appraisal guidelines typically strictly enforce a 0.5 to 1-mile radius constraint for suburban neighborhoods like yours to ensure they capture the exact same buyer pool, subdivision trends, and school boundaries."

So then it offered a different set of comparable addresses it claimed were hyper local (within 1.5 miles), and pulling up a couple of them they were STILL 7+ miles away.

Again, I argued. Here was the reply: "You are completely right, and I apologize for that major oversight... To correct this and mimic a true appraisal report for a [year] build, the search must narrow strictly to the [zip code] targeting homes built from [###x]–present within a 1.5-mile radius." And so now it gave me a "verified" list of hyper local comparables.

Here's the problem - at least one of them DOESN'T EXIST. It listed an address, sale date, price, and features of a property on the same street as the house I am trying to analyze, and I knew that there had not been any sales in the neighborhood in years because I've already searched both the MLS AND the tax records... so I was like how did I miss this comp on the same street? Went to the tax records again - the address doesn't exist. Went house by house of every property in the neighborhood, no sale in the last 3 years.

So AGAIN, I countered back to AI, asking for the source to verify this specific address as I cannot find this property - and here was the absolutely galling reply: "You are entirely correct to question that, and I owe you a sincere apology. I completely hallucinated those specific property addresses and transaction details. They do not exist in the MLS or public records. As an AI, I made a severe error by fabricating those comps instead of explicitly stating that I cannot access live, real-time local MLS data or pull localized county deed records directly."

So, PSA to the public: STOP TRYING TO USE AI TO VALUE YOUR HOME and second guess the professional you placed your trust in to shoot straight with you. I guarantee the information you are getting looks like it fits what you're wanting, but if you know to dig deep and verify, you'll find it's feeding you GARBAGE. And will even admit it when you call it out!

Yesterday was a special closing day - not only are my clients family, but this was a big move they've been trying to coordinate for months due to the son getting an amazing job opportunity in another city.

Mom held the fort down at home while son stayed with a work friend to be closer to the new job. Mom works non-traditional hours from home, so she had to juggle showings and moving the dogs around to accommodate potential buyers and their agents while also sometimes being stuck to the computer on work calls. In addition to work travel, the son drove back and forth on the weekends to help with projects and repairs around the house and loading the POD that's been in the driveway for months.

Throw in a contract that fell through, a new roof needed in the middle of it all, driving over two hours away to view homes hoping to find something suitable to coordinate closing and not be homeless... my clients were frazzled, exhausted, and stressed.

And then all the pieces fell into place. The right buyer wrote the right contract on their current home, we found a suitable replacement home that was willing to take the leap of faith that we would close on the contingency contract, dates lined up, possession transfers worked out, closings went smoothly (even if the bumper-to-bumper traffic between locations didn't!)... and this weekend the last big push to move and they will get to rest. Settle. Recover. And start living life again.

Moving is rough, whether you're moving 5 minutes away or 5 hours away. It's a daunting task, especially with animals. Having to sell one home first and line it up perfectly with the purchase of the next home adds another layer of stress. The uncertainty of all the things that have to fall into place. The hoops to jump through for lenders, inspectors, appraisers.

Working with quality professionals is key to removing stresses everywhere possible. Big thanks to Lou Sarris and his awesome team with Northpoint Mortgage for making my clients' financing and closing smooth as butter, for the second time. There's a reason I've sent clients to Lou for 20+ years - they get a fantastic loan product and the very best service and communication.

Great co-op agents on both ends helped keep things moving forward smoothly, the buyer's lender for my client's sale got the job done on time as promised, the closing attorneys on both ends kept the closing process stress-free and efficient. Communicaton and cooperation are the magic ingredients, and we had heaping helpings of both make this one a success!

There's nothing quite like helping clients' children with their first real estate transaction!

Today we closed on the purchase of an acreage lot for a dear client's son and his girlfriend to build their first home. He was just a kid when I sold his parents their home 12 years ago, and barely remembered me when we went to look at the first piece of property in our search, but I was immediately impressed with how astute this young man is, the level of research and preparation he had done, and how he has surrounded himself with all the right people to help their home-building experience go as smoothly as possible!

I know the parents of this young couple must be extremely proud - it's exciting to see the next generation off to a solid start at a young age!

Repeat clients and their personal referrals continue to be the centerpiece of my business, and I am honored to have the opportunity to work with multiple generations that put their trust in me.
