• Teams, Indie Brokerages Get Ahead with AI (bankerandtradesman.com) — Coldwell Banker's Wellesley office is leaning on new AI tools from its parent company to help agents write listings, visualize renovations, and streamline back-office work. Local MetroWest agents say these systems are speeding up marketing and uncovering new leads, while still relying on human judgment to capture each home's feel. The story also compares how independent brokerages across Greater Boston are adopting similar tools.
• Press Release Massachusetts Delivers Specialized Training to Prepare Firefighters for Building Collapses and Major Emergencies (mass.gov) — Wellesley firefighters just completed an intensive eight-day Structural Collapse Rescue Technician course run by the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy in Bridgewater, sharpening their skills for building collapses and other complex emergencies.
