Leveraging AI in Real Estate

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming real estate investment: massive data analysis, market forecasts, virtual tours… These tools can completely change how we identify, evaluate, and select properties. Yet, far from replacing human skills, AI gains true power when combined with strong local and legal expertise. An interview with Gilles Tijtgat, real estate legal consultant at Engel & Völkers, highlights how this combination is key to navigating today’s rapidly changing market with confidence.

The IPI: more than a regulator
