Realtor.com® Launches RealAssist™ AI: A Completely Reimagined Way to Find A Home

Built with Google's Gemini and grounded in 30 years of Realtor.com buyer intelligence, RealAssist™ AI guides home shoppers from their very first question to closing

AUSTIN, Texas, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Realtor.com^® today launched RealAssist™ AI, an AI-first home search experience built with Google's Gemini and Google Cloud that helps buyers find a home through natural conversation and AI smart prompts. From the very first question, through the complex early stages of pre-search and discovery, to connecting with an agent, all the way to closing, it understands consumers' home journey needs. RealAssist™ AI allows them to search the way they naturally talk, anticipating where their search is going before they get there.

Today, RealAssist™ AI is available to a select group of logged in users in beta across desktop, the Realtor.com^® app, and mobile web, with full availability rolling out shortly.

"Realtor.com^® is positioned to lead the AI era in real estate — and the data already points that way," said Damian Eales, CEO at Realtor.com^®. "We lead our competitors in AI brand favorability.¹ We are the most trusted brand among real estate professionals² and the No. 1 real estate news publisher in the country.³ Our collaboration with News Corp and deep industry roots give us an authority in this space that others simply cannot replicate. We are taking that foundation and building the best AI tools in the industry. That means more informed buyers and sellers, and agents who can have better conversations with every client. RealAssist™ AI is what that looks like today and there is much more to come."

"Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make, and most buyers start the process feeling overwhelmed and underprepared," said Mickey Neuberger, Chief Consumer and Marketing Officer at Realtor.com^®. "RealAssist™ AI removes the uncertainty and builds confidence at every step, from early research to connecting with a local agent, because the insight behind it is real. Every buyer deserves that."

RealAssist™ AI Sets a New Bar for Home Search

A traditional search gives buyers a box and a set of filters. RealAssist™ AI turns that into a two-way conversation. Tell it your commute, your must-haves, your budget, and it surfaces homes to fit your life, not just your criteria. The more you share, the smarter it gets.

More Than Search: From First Question to Closing

Most buyers spend weeks in pre-search weighing affordability, timing, and tradeoffs, before they ever browse a listing. And the hard decisions don't stop when they find a few homes they love. RealAssist™ AI is there for all of it, from early affordability questions to understanding a specific property, scheduling a tour, navigating an offer, and preparing for closing. And at every step, RealAssist™ AI makes it easy to connect with a local agent.

Map Technology That Helps Buyers Picture Their Future Life

Real estate is location, location, location, and RealAssist™ AI brings that to life in ways no other search experience has before. Built with Google's Gemini, RealAssist™ AI surfaces commute times and helps buyers explore neighborhoods by highlighting local parks and businesses. Buyers can map out a full daily routine from school drop-off to the office, for any neighborhood they're considering or any home they're already interested in. This helps them know whether a home could actually work for their life before they ever schedule a tour.

RealAssist™ AI offers unique visual technology. Consumers can see what a street looks like after dark or how a home changes with the seasons. They can even visualize what a home would look like with a new exterior finish.

Conversations That Pick Up Where They Left Off

RealAssist™ AI does not reset when a tab closes. It remembers a buyer's budget and priorities, across sessions and picks up mid-thought after a day or two so there's no starting over when priorities shift. The conversation simply moves forward when a user changes a budget or adds a must-have.

RealAssist™ AI Key Features

• Understand affordability in plain language. Get personalized breakdowns based on income and expenses.
• Compare homes or neighborhoods side by side. View lifestyle, location, and costs in one view.
• Search around what matters most. Use real commute times to find homes near workplaces, schools, or favorite parks.
• Visualize a home and its surroundings. See properties at night, in winter, or with a new exterior before ever scheduling a tour.
• Pick up exactly where the last session left off. Enjoy a seamless experience across any device.
• Connect directly with a local agent seamlessly. Schedule a tour without leaving the experience.

Built to Make Agents More Valuable

Real estate transactions are long, complex, and deeply personal and AI doesn't change the fact that buyers want a trusted expert in their corner when it matters most. According to a Realtor.com^® survey, Americans rely on real estate agents as the No. 1 most trusted and accurate source for information, and 82% are also using AI for real estate insights. These two things are not in conflict. RealAssist™ AI handles the early, time-consuming work of pre-search and discovery so buyers are informed and ready when they connect with an agent. It does not replace the agent, but raises the quality of every client conversation. RealAssist™ AI is built to make the human expertise at the heart of every transaction more valuable.
