AI app development for real estate agents.
The version of AI app development that real estate agencies still use a year after launch.
Listing copy, buyer follow-ups and appraisal requests drafted fast, with personal information handled under the Privacy Act 2020.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
What we keep hearing from NZ real estate agencies.
Agents live on their phones between open homes, listing enquiries, and vendor updates that can't wait until Monday.
Lead response speed decides who gets the listing, and most agencies lose leads simply because nobody replied fast enough.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
AI features that handle personal information under the Privacy Act 2020, with processing kept on the phone when the data should not leave it.
- What the Privacy Commissioner expects
- Personal data sent offshore
- Serious breaches get reported
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What you get
What changes for real estate agencies after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided.
- Camera, voice and document understanding designed into the core screens
- On-device models for offline use and sensitive data, cloud models where they earn their place
- Models post-trained for New Zealand English and local context where that fits
- Evaluations and guardrails shipped with the app, tested before release
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Good questions, answered
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI app development into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Swift sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Do you have proof this works for real estate agencies?
Direct case study: You try the AI feature on a real phone against your own documents or photos before the rest of the app is built. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
How long does AI app development take to ship for real estate agencies?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real real estate agencies data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
