Since its release in November 2022 by OpenAI, ChatGPT has gained global attention for its efficient and accurate ability to write emails, essays, poetry, and even generate lines of code based on a prompt.

Controversy has surrounded its use and questions have been raised about whether or not to use the tool as cheating, with some schools banning the program altogether.
However, some professionals are thankful for the efficiency, with an increasing number of brokers bragging about how ChatGPT has made their lives easier, CNN reported.
“It saved me so much time,” JJ Johannes, an Iowa real estate agent, told the outlet. He noted that while he had to make a few edits before publishing a list created through ChatGPT, it was an overall game changer. “It’s not perfect, but it was a great starting point. My background is in technology and writing something eloquent takes time. This made it so much easier.”

Johannes is not the only one using the new tool at work. Several other real estate professionals told CNN that they use ChatGPT not only to write ads, but also to draft social media posts and legal documents.
“I’ve been using it for over a month and I can’t remember the last time something amazed me like this,” Andres Asion, a realtor with Miami Real Estate Group, told the outlet.
While ChatGPT is free for now, OpenAI is considering it a monthly fee of $42. However, the price won’t stop brokers like Asion, who say the program has made his job significantly easier.
“I would easily pay $100 or $200 a year for something like this,” he told CNN. “I’d be crazy if I didn’t.”
