LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

REAL BROKERAGE 🎙️ Real launches voice-first Leo CoPilot across entire agent network

The Rundown: Real Brokerage unveiled major upgrades to Leo CoPilot during RISE 2025, introducing voice-enabled capabilities and emotional intelligence that detects agent frustration and escalates to human brokers when needed.

The details:

• Leo provides real-time, hands-free support for compliance, marketing, and platform operations across all 30,000+ Real agents.

• The AI assistant is built natively into Real's proprietary reZEN transaction platform and analyzes tens of thousands of anonymized agent questions.

• Leo delivers market-specific, validated responses by combining speed with contextual intelligence learned from actual agent interactions.

• The upgrade positions Real as the only brokerage with a fully integrated AI ecosystem serving both agents and consumers.

Why it matters: Voice-first AI eliminates the friction of typing questions mid-transaction, and the emotional intelligence feature ensures agents get human help when they're genuinely stuck rather than spinning wheels with a bot.

REAL BROKERAGE 🏠 HeyLeo brings conversational AI home search to 20 states

The Rundown: Real Brokerage debuted HeyLeo, a voice-first AI home search assistant that lets buyers find properties through natural language across phone, text, and web chat while keeping agents central to the transaction.

The details:

• HeyLeo uses conversational AI to understand buyer lifestyle needs and instantly surface matching listings without traditional filtered search.

• Buyers can ask questions like "Find me a 3-bedroom near good schools" and receive personalized results immediately.

• The tool integrates with One Real Mortgage for fast pre-approvals and coordinates showings directly with agents.

• Available in beta at HeyLeo.com across 20 states, the platform demonstrates Real's dual approach of AI support for agents plus AI-powered consumer experiences.

Pro tip: If you're with Real, position HeyLeo as a buyer lead generator that keeps you in control of the relationship rather than a threat to your pipeline.

REAL ESTATE WEBMASTERS 📞 REW Dialer AI adds call grading and coaching feedback

The Rundown: Real Estate Webmasters rolled out Phase 2 of REW Dialer AI, adding AI-generated call grading and coaching feedback to help agents improve conversation quality and closing rates.

The details:

• Agents can record calls and receive automatic transcripts, summaries, and detailed takeaways on commitments and action items.

• The coaching feature analyzes what went well and where improvement is needed, providing actionable feedback after every call.

• Each call is graded across real-estate-specific categories with letter grades and concrete steps to strengthen future interactions.

• The update follows broader REW CRM enhancements including Automations Phase 2 with expanded triggers, plus pinned notes and bulk deal management.

Why it matters: Traditional manager feedback carries emotional friction. AI-powered coaching removes that pressure, letting agents review performance and improve at their own pace without the stress of human criticism.

INDUSTRY TRENDS ⚠️ Experts warn: non-adopters face market displacement

The Rundown: Kevin Hawkins, author of "The Real AI Guide for Real Estate Agents," warned that AI competency has become essential for agent survival as competitive pressure favors those who integrate AI strategically.

The details:

• Agentic AI will soon automate repetitive tasks like email organization and response drafting while agents retain responsibility for human connection.

• Data analysis and valuation modeling increasingly rely on AI, yet agents must validate outputs and infuse market expertise.

• Agents failing to adopt and properly leverage AI risk losing market share to tech-savvy competition in 2025.

• Hawkins compared AI tools to QuickBooks or Excel: powerful when used correctly but dangerous when misapplied.

What we're watching: The pressure isn't just about using AI for listing descriptions. It's about speed, scale, and staying competitive when your peers can analyze 10x more opportunities in the same timeframe.
