HouseWhisper is just a call or text away, eliminating admin work, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks, and helping agents close more deals.

SEATTLE, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- HouseWhisper, an AI-powered assistant transforming how real estate professionals manage their workflow, today announced its official launch and nearly $10 million in seed funding from Mayfield, PSL Ventures, and 75 and Sunny Ventures.

Founded by real estate technology veterans Luis Poggi (former Zillow VP of Product and Engineering), Spencer Rascoff (Zillow co-founder and former CEO, and current Match Group CEO), and Alex Kutner (former Zillow engineering leader), HouseWhisper tackles one of real estate's biggest challenges – administrative overload – which leaves little time for agents to follow up, nurture past clients, and pursue new leads, ultimately costing them deals and revenue.

"The rapid adoption of HouseWhisper by top teams and agents shows the industry is ready for a smarter, more efficient way to work," said Spencer Rascoff, co-founder of HouseWhisper and co-founder and former CEO of Zillow.

"Buying a home is one of the most important and emotional decisions people make, and agents are at the heart of that process," said Luis Poggi, CEO and co-founder of HouseWhisper. "Yet, they're often buried in administrative work instead of focusing on their clients. HouseWhisper is pioneering a new era where AI isn't just a tool—it's a true partner to agents, handling those details so they can dedicate more time to high-value interactions with more clients."

HouseWhisper has been in beta for about eight months and is already used by over 4,000 agents nationwide. Trusted by top real estate teams nationwide, its users include industry leaders like Jason Gasbarra, Lauren Bowen, Levi Rogers, George Laughton, and Jeff and Dana Biebuyck.

Built for real estate professionals, HouseWhisper integrates with agents' calendars and CRMs, designed to fit into existing workflows while ensuring no detail is missed. With just one phone number and no app required, agents can call or text as they would with a real assistant; HouseWhisper even sounds and acts like a real person to provide seamless support. No logins, no learning curve—just 24/7 assistance. It's a conversational AI copilot focusing on where agents need the most support:

  • Keeps Agents on Track: HouseWhisper automatically records tasks, updates their status, and sends reminders—helping agents stay organized and build trust with clients.

  • Smart Follow-Ups: 88% of homeowners say they'd reuse their agent, but only 21% do. HouseWhisper ensures agents stay connected by prompting follow-ups and drafting personalized messages, whether it's two hours or two years later.

  • Hassle-Free Scheduling: Agents can simply mention a meeting, and HouseWhisper books the appointment, informs agents of any overlapping conflicts, and tracks follow-ups.

  • 24/7 AI Assistance: The platform manages reminders, schedules, and CRM updates automatically so agents can focus on clients instead of admin work.

  • Seamless CRM Integration: HouseWhisper helps keep records accurate by tracking lead status, logging key details, and transcribing voice memos—all synced with major CRMs.

"The rapid adoption of HouseWhisper by top teams and agents shows the industry is ready for a smarter, more efficient way to work," said Spencer Rascoff, co-founder of HouseWhisper and co-founder and former CEO of Zillow. "We see a future where AI-powered assistants are as essential to a real estate agent as their cell phone, helping agents stay connected with clients through better insight, personalization, and efficiency. HouseWhisper gives agents a smarter, more seamless way to manage their business and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market."

HouseWhisper has raised a $6.7 million seed round led by Mayfield, with participation from PSL Ventures and 75 and Sunny Ventures. This follows a pre-seed round earlier in 2024, led by PSL Ventures. The latest funding round will drive product development, team expansion, and AI enhancements. HouseWhisper also plans to introduce new AI solutions for transaction coordinators, loan officers, and brokerages, further expanding its impact across the real estate industry.

"HouseWhisper is reshaping how real estate professionals work with an AI teammate that gives agents more time and productivity so they can focus on what matters most: building relationships and closing deals," said Vijay Reddy, Partner at Mayfield. "Led by proven Proptech veterans, their vision of AI as a collaborative partner for agents will become an essential need for the industry."

About HouseWhisper:

HouseWhisper is an AI-powered assistant built to solve one of real estate's biggest challenges—ensuring no lead slips through the cracks. Unlike other AI tools, it's a 24/7 personal assistant that doesn't just remind agents what to do—it does the work for them. Real estate professionals spend countless hours on follow-ups, scheduling, and CRM management, pulling them away from closing deals and building client relationships. Founded by former Zillow executives, HouseWhisper acts as a trusted AI teammate, handling busywork so agents don't have to. It updates CRMs, drafts personalized follow-ups, schedules meetings, and keeps transactions moving—all through a simple text or call. By automating tasks without adding extra work, HouseWhisper helps agents maximize productivity, grow their business, and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market.
