On June 2, 2026, Realtor.com officially launched RealAssist™ AI, an AI-powered homebuying search experience built with Google Gemini and Google Cloud technology. The tool is designed to guide buyers from their initial questions through the entire process—searching, communicating with agents, and closing the deal—using natural conversation and smart prompts. Realtor.com CEO Damian Eales stated: "Realtor.com leads the AI era in real estate—and the data proves it." The company reports a lead in AI brand favorability among competitors and is recognized as the most trusted brand among real estate professionals.
RealAssist AI integrates three decades of Realtor.com homebuyer data to understand the complex needs users have during their homebuying journey. For example, consumers can view a street at night or see how a home changes with the seasons, powered by AI analysis of vast property information. The launch comes as the U.S. housing market shows signs of adjustment, with many experts predicting an imminent or ongoing correction that could significantly impact buyers and sellers.
