Will AI Replace Real Estate Agents? | With Natalka Falcomer
Everyone’s talking about AI changing real estate. But what will it actually change, and who stands to benefit?
Natalka Falcomer returns to LEVerage for a candid conversation with Rachel about artificial intelligence, the future of real estate brokerages, and why human judgment still matters when you’re buying or selling a home.
We discuss where automation could make the biggest difference, why having technology doesn’t mean agents are using it, and whether AI could give large brokerages an even bigger advantage over smaller independents.
Plus, we share our predictions for the Canadian real estate industry: fewer agents, leaner brokerages, potential changes to who controls listing data, and why finding the bottom of the housing market doesn’t necessarily mean a rebound is coming.
An honest conversation about what’s useful, what’s overhyped, and what buyers, sellers, and agents should be thinking about next.

Toronto Real Estate Is in Uncharted Territory | With Joel Kadish
YouTube - https://youtu.be/zndUlT4XnZI (https://youtu.be/zndUlT4XnZI)
Toronto real estate is no longer following its old rules.
In this episode of LEVerage, Rachel sits down with returning guest and real estate lawyer Joel Kadish for a candid look at a GTA market that has become increasingly difficult to predict.
From disappearing seasonality and inconsistent sales activity to rising transaction complexity, Rachel and Joel share what they are seeing on the ground—and why experience matters more than ever in today’s market.
They discuss:
• Why traditional market cycles have become unreliable
• How banks and mortgage brokers are adapting
• Why experienced agents are surviving while others leave the industry
• What is happening in Toronto’s condo and luxury markets
• The effects of interest rates, foreign-buyer restrictions, land-transfer taxes, and development charges
• Why government intervention can create unintended consequences
• The growing affordability divide between generations
• How rising rents are affecting families who need larger homes
• Why first-time buyers increasingly depend on family support
• The return of complicated conditions and longer agreements
• What buyers and sellers should expect through 2027 and beyond
The market may be slower, but that does not mean nothing is happening. Deals are still closing, opportunities still exist, and buyers are finding new ways into the market, but the process requires more patience, preparation, and professional guidance than it once did.
If you are buying, selling, renting, investing, or working in Toronto real estate, this conversation offers an honest look at where the market stands and what may come next.
