What if you could search for homes the same way you live your life? In this mind-bending episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, Andrew Flachner, co-founder and CEO of RealScout, and Anthony Sosso, VP of engineering, explore the revolutionary AI product shaking up how agents — and eventually consumers — search for homes.
Whether you’re a tech skeptic or a proptech junkie, this conversation will change how you think about the future of real estate data and consumer experience.
Highlights
You’ll hear how RealScout is flipping the script on property search by:
- Using natural language prompts instead of checkboxes
- Deconstructing vague terms like “mid-century modern” into precise search filters
- Letting agents control and fine-tune AI-generated searches
- Showing their work so nothing is hidden or hallucinated
Sosso and Flachner also unpack why most current AI search tools fail, how RealScout avoids MLS policy issues and what the future holds for truly intelligent, human-centric search.
They reveal:
- Why natural language search is the future of real estate
- How RealScout avoids hallucinations and “AI lies” by showing the search DNA
- What Zillow’s move into ChatGPT actually signals
- How MLSs can stay relevant in an AI-powered future
- Why search isn’t about more listings — it’s about better matches
This is the deepest dive yet into the evolution of AI in real estate and why specificity, transparency and pro-agent design will define the next chapter of home search.
