    I doubt machine learning has been very accessible to most home buyers, especially a few years ago. Plus real estate business makes it sound like they do all that kind of work for you, and realistically that should be part of their job. I should be able to ask a realtor for a full site assessment including any environmental sampling that had been done and maps like flood maps.

      Yeah, it’s something I’m very capable of, but 99% of people wouldn’t be able to do.

      Between the bank issuing mortgages, the insurance companies covering the asset and assessing risk, the municipality setting my property tax rates, and the realty brokerages managing the buyers, somebody should be modelling and providing detailed pricing analysis.

      This feels like an upsell to use their services, and yet…
