#110 AI in Multifamily: Practical Applications, Potential Pitfalls, and Job Security
Welcome to Marketing Home, Marketing You. This episode with guest, John Gonzalez of the ITEX Group, is all about AI. That's right, artificial intelligence and how it's influencing Multifamily Housing. At all the conferences I've been to this year, that's what everyone is talking about. But how do we make AI practical? How does it affect leasing? How will it affect management, maintenance, even our marketing teams, and beyond?
This episode is going to answer three main points:
What are the practical applications for AI in terms of Multifamily?
What are the potential landmines that we need to be aware of?
Is AI taking my job?
Tune into my conversation with John Gonzalez to find out!

“AI is for everyone. Every single business owner who’s looking to reduce burden on site staff. In the theme of centralization, you’re going to hear AI a lot more often, but think of it in the context of taking some work away from the repetitive tasks to now focus more on the customer experience, the customer journey, or better branding.
There are some things that AI can’t do, or can’t fix, or enhance. But I think everybody is going to have some form of proficiency with AI on their resume.”
