WASHINGTON—Agents who are Realtors are leaning into artificial intelligence while continuing to rely on digital tools such as eSignature, social media, and drone photography to serve their clients, according to the National Association of Realtors’ 2025 Technology Survey released today. The report surveyed NAR members to better understand how technology is shaping real estate and how agents view its role in their businesses.
"These results show a profession that is adapting quickly to technological change while prioritizing client satisfaction," said NAR Deputy Chief Economist Jessica Lautz. "Technology continues to be a powerful force in real estate, driving efficiency and marketing innovation. But at the heart of it all remains the trusted relationship between the agent and client."
eSignature (79%) remains the most widely used technology by agents who are Realtors, followed closely by social media at 75%.
Drone photography and video are used by 52% of agents, while 46% report using AI-generated content (e.g., for listing descriptions).
How often agents use AI tools: 20% use them daily, 22% weekly, 27% a few times a month, and 32% have not yet used AI in their business.
Impact of AI on business: 17% reported a significantly positive impact, 33% saw a moderately positive impact, and 46% said AI had no noticeable impact.
Top AI tools used: ChatGPT by OpenAI (58%), Gemini by Google (20%), and Copilot by Microsoft (15%).
82% said their clients responded very positively or positively to the integration of technology in the buying and selling process.
Two out of three agents either agree (38%) or strongly agree (29%) that their brokerage provides all the tech tools they need.
