## Resource

Episode 15 - Intelligent Luxury - Generational Wealth Shifts in Real Estate & Philanthropy Featured guest: Kris Berger — a residential realtor based in Hinsdale, Illinois (Chicago's western suburbs), with 30+ years of real estate experience and a design/photography background. Episode summary: Hosts Asha Saxena and Julie Faupel introduce Intelligent Luxury, then Asha sits down with Kris to discuss how AI is transforming the luxury real estate market. They explore how technology has increased luxury searches by 4,700%, how AI helps handle time-consuming manual tasks (marketing materials, photo editing, listing cleanup), and why human relationships and lived experience remain irreplaceable in high-end real estate transactions. Key takeaways: Luxury searches on AI platforms have surged 4,700%, meaning clients now arrive far more informed — realtors must use AI themselves to stay ahead. AI can't replicate a realtor's firsthand knowledge of neighborhoods, builders, and property history, or judge "walkability" and lifestyle fit. AI hallucinates — clients still need a trusted human to validate information. AI excels at the "70%" of manual work (feature sheets, photo touch-ups, listing admin), freeing realtors to spend the remaining "30%" on relationship-building. Buying/selling isn't just a property transaction — it's selling a lifestyle, which requires understanding a client's family dynamics and priorities. Post-COVID and amid rising screen time, people are gravitating back toward in-person, human-to-human connection — a trend AI adoption is accelerating, not reversing. Time saved by AI is reframed as the ultimate luxury, reinvested into deeper client relationships and trust.
