reAlpha Tech Corp. (Nasdaq: AIRE) (“reAlpha”), a real estate
technology company developing and commercializing artificial
intelligence (“AI”) technologies, announces today the launch of
reAlpha (previously, “Claire”) (the “Super App”) for mobile
devices. The Super App brings an end-to-end, commission-free, real
estate experience to users’ mobile devices in addition to its
online version, combining Claire, reAlpha’s generative-AI buyer’s
agent, licensed human agent support and a suite of homebuying
tools, which currently includes title and escrow agent services.
In connection with the launch of the Super App
for mobile devices, reAlpha changed the name of the Super App from
“Claire”, to “reAlpha”. Claire will remain as the generative-AI
buyer’s agent that will be integrated within the Super App, while
providing the same services it did for users utilizing the platform
under its previous name. The Super App will continue to be
available online in addition to its mobile app version.
This launch is timed to coincide with the real
estate industry's shift in light of the National Association of
Realtors’ (“NAR”) recent settlement to eliminate the standard six
percent sales commission when purchasing a home. These rule changes
went into effect August 17, and reAlpha believes such changes make
its commission-free offering to be even more compelling for
property buyers.
AI-Driven Homebuying
Experience
The Super App brings reAlpha’s AI-powered
capabilities to homebuyers, allowing users to search for and
purchase homes through their mobile phone. Key features
include:
-
Commission-free Homebuying: The Super App does not
charge buyer’s commission fees, making home ownership more
affordable and transparent.
- Claire, the AI Real Estate
Agent: Users can interact with Claire, a generative
AI-powered buyer’s agent, to receive 24/7 real-time support and
answers to questions related to purchasing a property.
- AI-Generated Search and
Recommendations: The Super App utilizes AI algorithms to
provide personalized property matches and recommendations, further
assisting users to find their ideal home. Also, with Claire’s
natural language search, you can describe your perfect home, and it
will quickly find matches, with no filters needed.
- AI Document Review and
Analysis: The Super App’s “Review with Claire” feature
allows homebuyers to get clear, concise summaries of detailed real
estate documents like inspection and settlement reports, making
complex information easier to understand and navigate through.
- Expert Guidance:
For customized needs, users will be able to rely on a dedicated
team of licensed real estate agents, on a no-cost and no-obligation
basis, who will provide personalized support and guidance. These
agents step in to augment Claire’s AI capabilities, allowing
homebuyers to be confident in their decisions when buying a home,
while also building trust between the agents and buyers throughout
their home purchasing journey.
-
End-to-end Transactions: All steps of a standard
homebuying process can be completed in the Super App, even if the
Super App does not provide the services itself, as reAlpha’s
licensed real estate agents will be available to step in and assist
in those steps until the Super App integrates those services within
the platform. Buyers will be guided through finding their home,
negotiating an offer, getting a mortgage, among others, all the way
through title services and closing.
One Platform for All Homebuying
Needs
Following the acquisition of Hyperfast,
announced July 29, 2024, reAlpha now offers integrated title
services, allowing the Super App to offer those services directly
to its users. While our licensed real estate agents can assist
homebuyers if they need assistance with certain services the Super
App does not currently provide, reAlpha plans to expand the Super
App’s capabilities to integrate every aspect of a standard
homebuying process in this one platform by eventually providing
mortgage brokerage services and home insurance to buyers utilizing
the Super App, whether online or via mobile device.
“At reAlpha, we know buying a home is the
biggest and most important decision many people will ever make. We
believe in leveraging AI to create a more personalized and
supportive homebuying experience,” said Mike Logozzo, President and
Chief Operating Officer of reAlpha. “The reAlpha Super App is
designed to provide homebuyers with all the tools and support they
may need to find their dream home, at a great price and with the
best experience, all from their mobile device.”
As reAlpha continues to work towards innovating
the real estate industry, the launch of the Super App for mobile
devices marks a significant milestone in the company's mission to
bring the real estate industry to the digital era. By integrating
its generative-AI technology and homebuying services, reAlpha
believes the Super App can transform the way people buy homes,
while making the process more intuitive and efficient.
The Super App is now available for download on
iOS devices. For more information and to download the Super App,

About reAlpha
reAlpha (previously called “Claire”), announced
on April 24, 2024, is reAlpha’s generative AI-powered,
commission-free, homebuying platform. The tagline: No fees. Just
keys.TM – reflects reAlpha’s dedication to eliminating traditional
barriers and making homebuying more accessible and transparent.
reAlpha’s introduction aligns with major shifts
in the real estate sector after the NAR agreed to settle certain
lawsuits upon being found to have violated antitrust laws,
resulting in inflated fees paid to buy-side agents. This
development is expected to result in the end of the standard six
percent sales commission, which equates to approximately $100
billion in realtor fees paid annually. reAlpha offers a cost-free
alternative for homebuyers by utilizing an AI-driven workflow that
assists them through the homebuying process.
Homebuyers using reAlpha’s conversational
interface will be able to interact with Claire, reAlpha’s AI
buyer’s agent, to guide them through every step of their homebuying
journey, from property search to closing the deal. By offering
support 24/7, Claire is poised to make the homebuying process more
efficient, enjoyable, and cost-efficient. Claire matches buyers
with their dream homes using over 400 data attributes and provides
insights into market trends and property values. Additionally,
Claire can assist with questions, booking property tours,
submitting offers, and negotiations.
Currently, reAlpha is under limited availability
for homebuyers located in 20 counties in Florida, but reAlpha is
actively seeking new MLS and brokerage licenses that will enable
expansion into more U.S. states.
