The Beauty of Real Estate Agents', presented as part of Hunter College's lectures. Dan Hamermesh of UT Austin, together with Maggie Rong Hu, Yanting Wu and Tingyu Zhou, examines how real estate agents' facial attractiveness affects the selling prices of their clients' properties and their own earnings. Using AI-trained ratings of photographs of over 4,000 agents and sales of residences in Quebec, Canada, 2005-17, the study finds listings with attractive agents sell faster and command higher prices, while principals receive most of the gains. The results offer the first micro evidence on how a characteristic subject to discrimination affects both its seller and buyer.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/seminar-dan-hamermesh-ut-austin-53100/", "official_url": "https://www.hunter.cuny.edu/event/seminar-dan-hamermesh-ut-austin/", "image": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-10-30T13:30:00-04:00", "end": null, "place": "Hunter College", "address": "Park Avenue 695, 10065 New York", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "NYU Stern Real Estate Club: The Trophy Asset", "start": "2026-11-06T07:00:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "NYU Stern School of Business", "address": "West 4th Street 44", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "tickets_url": "", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["society/business"], "description": "A business conference titled 'SREC 2026 Fall Conference: The Trophy Asset' examining luxury real estate, from branded residences and five-star hotels to flagship stores, pop-ups and top offices.
