Ryan Ozonian, Senior Director of Innovation and AI at MyHome, a Williston Financial Group company, recently shared his perspective in a HousingWire contributor article exploring one of today’s biggest barriers to AI adoption: not the technology itself, but knowing where to begin.
In “AI Paralysis Is Real. Here’s How to Move Past It,” Ryan encourages real estate, mortgage, and title professionals to stop viewing AI as a massive transformation project and instead begin by solving one frustrating, everyday problem. He explains that meaningful adoption starts with practical use cases that reduce friction, save time, and create momentum.
Among the key takeaways:
- Start with one workflow that slows you down.
- Use AI to solve real business problems, not theoretical ones.
- Focus on reducing repetitive work and creating capacity for higher-value activities.
- View AI as a practical tool that strengthens people, processes, and customer experience.
- Build confidence through small wins that compound over time.
As organizations continue evaluating how AI fits into their operations, Ryan’s message is straightforward: you don’t have to master AI overnight. You simply have to start.
