Recorded live at the 2026 Florida Realtors Convention & Expo
AI can save Realtors® time — but using it the wrong way can create serious risks for you and your clients. Kevin Hawkins of WAV Group joins Florida Realtors Live to break down some of the biggest AI mistakes real estate professionals are making and how to use these increasingly powerful tools more responsibly.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
➡️ Why the AI tool you choose matters when working with client information
➡️ The differences Hawkins sees between free, consumer and business-grade AI tools
➡️ Why you should never blindly trust the first answer AI gives you
➡️ How to keep a “human in the middle” when using AI
➡️ Ways to train AI to better understand your voice and brand
➡️ Why AI-generated work still needs to be reviewed and verified
➡️ How AI is creating new cybersecurity and fraud risks for real estate consumers
One of Hawkins’ biggest warnings: Don’t “cut, paste and pray.”
AI works best through iteration, correction and human oversight. No matter how capable the technology becomes, you’re still responsible for reviewing the work, protecting your clients and making sure the information you use is accurate.
And when a message involves money + urgency? Hawkins says stop and verify it using contact information you already know and trust.
Use AI to work smarter — but don’t outsource your judgment to it.
