Junior assistant roles like data entry and market analysis are highly automated; entry barriers will rise, requiring new hires to have data analysis and AI tool skills; pure 'errand-running' positions decrease.
Over the next five years, property valuers should shift from 'manual analysts' to 'AI-empowered valuation experts': leveraging automation for 80% of data work, focusing on 'high-difficulty properties', 'disputed cases', and 'strategic consulting'. It is recommended to specialize early in commercial, industrial, or special-purpose real estate, combined with big data analysis to provide market insights, gradually progressing towards asset appraisal, investment advisory, or arbitration expertise.
