Realtor.com launches RealAssist™ AI, an AI-first home search experience designed to help buyers find properties through natural conversation rather than using traditional search filters. The company says RealAssist™ AI is built with Google’s Gemini and is grounded in decades of Realtor.com buyer-intelligence data. In the described workflow, users start by asking questions about what they want in a home, then receive listings that reflect those preferences.
Realtor.com states that the assistant supports the process from a buyer’s first question through closing, including integration with housing data sources and affordability-related calculations. Other coverage describes the assistant as pulling from MLS data, performing affordability calculations, and connecting users with real estate agents, delivered via a conversational interface.
One source also notes that the rollout is staged, with a broader release following an earlier beta. Timing is portrayed as deliberate amid a complex and skeptical housing market environment, though specific performance or adoption metrics are not provided in the supplied materials.
