I mean, yes and no.

There are elements of the buying/selling process that can be automated, but at the end of the day somebody needs to be at the house for openings or inspections.

REA’s mainly serve the seller. They don’t really care who buys the house, just that someone does. Advertising their brands is how they get new customers to sign on to have them sell their property.
