Lofty CEO Joe Chen on the Future of AI in Real Estate

In this episode of NOISE vs. SIGNAL by Inman, Tom Bohn sits down with Lofty CEO Joe Chen at Inman Connect San Diego to discuss how quickly AI is changing real estate and what the next stage of adoption could look like for the industry.

Chen explains why he sees AI token consumption as a measure of how deeply the technology is being used and predicts a major increase over the next year. They also discuss Ask Inman, the new AI-powered tool Inman is building with Lofty to give real estate professionals direct access to Inman’s decades of industry reporting and data.

Chen also shares why he believes experienced agents stand to gain considerably from AI as the technology becomes cheaper and more widely integrated into everyday real estate work.

The future of real estate runs on Agentic AI. Lofty helps agents, teams, and brokerages put their business growth on autopilot. Autonomous AI Agents work around the clock to uncover listing opportunities, engage every lead, schedule appointments, and handle the follow-up agents don’t have time for. The result? More conversations, more listings, more closings, and more time to focus on clients.
