The tools he relies on most act as \u201cintelligent glue,\u201d connecting his 18 years of market instinct directly to data. He warns against the industry\u2019s pursuit of a \u201ccentaur\u201d \u2014 a digital assistant meant to do the work for you. He views AI instead as a \u201ccyborg extension\u201d\u2014 a multiplier of effort. \u201cIf you input laziness, it will just multiply your mediocrity,\u201d Pekarsky said. His biggest wasted<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">investment? Anything marketed as an \u201ceasy button\u201d that promised t<span class=\"s3\">o replace grit rather than empower it. For new agents, Pekarsky recommends skipping lead purchases and investing in a top-tier LLM like ChatGPT or Gemini, and then spending time teaching it your voice, fears and market logic so it becomes a mirror, not a shortcut. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">As a broker and owner of the Sarah Leonard Team at Legacy Properties, Sarah Leonard relies on technology to keep her team efficient and connected. With over 600 deals annually, she swears by her CRM. \u201cEveryone has labels, and all our information is stored in one place. Our past clients are our No. 1 income source, so we would be lost without it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s3\">Leonard found that investing in heavily produced live video content didn\u2019t suit her team\u2019s style, as it was time-consuming and difficult to keep up while actively selling. For new agents, Leonard recommends a twofold approach: First, invest in a database to build your sphere of influence, and second, use ChatGPT as a free, always-available assistant to help generate ideas and support tasks that don\u2019t come naturally. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Focusing on day-to-day efficiency, the Jane Lee Team with RE\/MAX, relies on a small set of trusted platforms&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chicagoagentmagazine.com\/2026\/02\/02\/best-real-estate-tech-2\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best real estate tech tools for 2026 https:\/\/chicagoagentmagazine.com\/2026\/02\/02\/best-real-estate-tech-2\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-02 06:05:00 Source Domain: chicagoagentmagazine.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":209062,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s29980.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sidebar-Real-Estate-Tech-Issues-Feb2026.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-209061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209061"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209061"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209061\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":209063,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209061\/revisions\/209063"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
