Ai Meets Real Estate

​Toronto Tech Week is a citywide celebration of the people building what’s next. From May 25–29, 2026, founders, investors, and builders come together for hundreds of community-led events across Toronto, connecting tens of thousands of people around Canadian tech. Torontotechweek.com.

​Toronto’s housing market is a massive part of Canada’s economy, yet most of it still runs on PDFs, text messages, and outdated CRMs.

At Toronto Tech Week, Daniel Foch, co-host of The Canadian Real Estate Investor Podcast and Chief Real Estate Officer at Valery.ca, will share how he is building what may be Canada’s first AI-powered real estate brokerage.

This is not a generic AI talk. It is a real case study from inside the industry.

Daniel will walk through how he is using AI agents to automate prospecting, follow-up, deal analysis, content creation, CRM management, and admin work that used to require full-time staff. He will break down the stack behind Realist.ca, Valery.ca, and Homie, and how media, community, and software are being combined into a vertical real estate operating system.

We will also zoom out to the bigger picture. Toronto’s condo market is slowing. Construction is collapsing. Regulation is tightening. Margins are shrinking. In moments like this, industries either modernize or fall behind.

If you are a founder, operator, investor, or real estate professional who wants to understand how AI is actually being deployed in a traditional, regulated industry, this session will give you a practical and honest look at what works, what breaks, and what comes next.

Expect tactical insights, live workflow examples, and a candid discussion about what the future of the realtor looks like in an AI-driven world.
