echnology powers real‑estate innovation, with startups and incumbents alike pushing new tools and partnerships. Below are the latest highlights from key players.
**Real Brokerage upgrades Leo CoPilot**
Real has refreshed its AI platform Leo CoPilot, adding voice‑first interaction and deeper market insights. The new version is context‑aware, letting agents finish tasks through voice or text prompts while accessing compliance, marketing and platform data. CEO Tamir Poleg calls it a “productivity game‑changer,” noting that Leo delivers personalized experiences tied to agent behavior and local market conditions. Because Leo is built inside Real’s proprietary transaction system, the brokerage claims it can offer AI insights no other firm can.
The firm also launched HeyLeo, an AI‑driven home‑search assistant that lets buyers ask contextual questions or speak directly. In its beta, HeyLeo will be available in 20 states. CTO Pritesh Damani says the tool is “built on a powerful data backbone” and fully integrated into reZEN, giving agents a 24/7 AI concierge that enhances the client search experience.
**Knock introduces Bridge Loan Plus**
Knock’s new financing option, Bridge Loan Plus, pays off a homeowner’s existing mortgage when they purchase a new home, eliminating double payments. The program offers a 2.25% one‑time fee, which many customers offset by avoiding up to six months of mortgage payments on the old property. CEO Sean Black says it “removes friction and complexity from the home‑buying process.” The loan is available in 25 states and Washington, D.C., and is backed by $900 million of new lending capacity from a recent $100 million bond issuance.
**Ohio Realtors partner with Rayse**
The Columbus Realtors association, Ohio’s largest local group, has adopted Rayse, a CRM alternative that keeps agents and clients connected throughout a transaction. The platform helps agents demonstrate their commitment, addressing a perception that many spend fewer than 15 hours on a deal. President Buffie Patterson said the partnership “ensures that effort is visible” and “changes the way clients view agents.” Rayse’s co‑CEO Christian Dwiggins added that the tool lets agents “show their true worth—one transparent client experience at a time.” The rollout began on October 30, and Rayse has also partnered with the San Francisco Association of Realtors.
**Mosaik expands to Australia**
Mosaik, a software that gives agents visibility into the sales, closing and ownership process, announced its first international launch. The company will soon offer its platform in Australia, responding to growing interest from agents who want to modernize client interactions. CEO Sheila Reddy said the move “marks the beginning of a new standard for client experience, where the relationship doesn’t end at settlement.” Early access will be granted to a select group of founding agents, with a full Australian rollout planned for later in 2026.
**Other tech updates**
- *RealReports‑CRMLS partnership* – RealReports has added six more associations to its partnership with California’s CRMLS, bringing the total to 28. Over 80,000 California agents now have access to the AI‑powered property report tool. New members include Citrus Valley, Burbank, Madera, Paradise, Sierra North Valley and Coastal Mendocino associations.
- *Local Logic Lead Capture* – Local Logic launched Lead Capture, a turnkey solution that exchanges consumer contact details for instant neighborhood reports. Agents receive a lead profile with the consumer’s name, contact info, requested address and links to the reports.
- *VestaPlus Checkmate expansion* – VestaPlus has licensed its Checkmate compliance software to additional MLSs: Arizona Regional MLS, Beaches MLS, Miami Association of Realtors and Oregon Data Share. Miami Realtors CEO Teresa King Kinney praised Checkmate as “the best compliance resource on the market,” noting it will enhance data integrity for listings and SEFMLS. The expansion follows earlier adoptions by the Central Panhandle Association, Staten Island MLS, Pensacola Association and San Diego MLS.
