High Performer • Best Support • Easiest To Do Business With

🎉 2025 Year in Review: Building the Property Intelligence Layer for Humans and AI

More than 2B API calls later, the word is out. RealEstateAPI is the go-to platform for devs building the future of proptech, fintech and home services. In recognition of the great work of our product team, we received stellar marks on G2, Source Forge and other industry publications and nearly doubled our customer count this year.

Recognition is great. But, what matters most is what operators tell us directly: getting access to property data should be easy. That's always been our focus. It’s why we got in this game in the first place, to break the chokehold that legacy players have had on the data you need to build great software. We work every day to deliver products that make your work easier. And that is why we were ranked #1 on G2 for 'Easiest Admin' across the entire Property Intelligence category.

Here’s how we spent the last twelve months…

Ranked #1 for Ease of Admin

In addition to being recognized as a High Performer and among the easiest to do business with, we were ranked #1 on G2 for "Easiest Admin" across the entire Property Intelligence category

Building the Property Intelligence Layer for Humans and AI

Product: AI-Native Property Intelligence

In 2025, we rebuilt infrastructure around a simple thesis: property data access should feel like having a conversation, not writing SQL queries. Here's what that looks like in practice...

MCP Servers: Property Data Meets Conversational AI

We launched MCP Servers, making RealEstateAPI natively usable by AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible client.

Users can now ask natural-language questions and have AI execute real API calls, combine data across endpoints, analyze results, and return answers grounded in live property data.

What's Now Conversational:

*These capabilities used to require dashboards, SQL, or bespoke pipelines. They’re now accessible via conversation.

Property Intelligence

Property Search – Filter by location, characteristics, price, equity, vacancy, foreclosure status, and more
Property Details – Ownership, tax records, characteristics, and valuation data
Bulk Property Details – Retrieve detailed data for entire portfolios
Property Mapper – Generate interactive HTML maps with rich property popups

Valuation & Analysis

AVM – Instant automated valuation models
Property Comps – Customizable comparable sets for real market analysis.

MLS & People Data

MLS Search – Real-time listings with comprehensive filtering
Skip Tracing – Contact information and demographics
Corporate Skip – Business entity lookups (coming soon)

💡

Property intelligence is no longer locked behind dashboards or SQL queries. It's conversational, composable, and agent-ready.

For Developers: Your IDE Now Has a Property Intelligence Layer

We brought RealEstateAPI directly into the developer workflow with native MCP integration for Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code (with Cline), and Claude Desktop.

No context switching. No breaking flow to check docs or test in Postman.

Your AI Coding Assistant Can Now:

Query 159M+ properties with advanced filters
Pull real-time MLS data and market analytics
Run skip tracing and owner lookups
Generate automated valuations and comps
Surface documentation and implementation examples conversationally

Connect once. Your IDE gains access to the entire RealEstateAPI platform.

Realtime MLS Data

Through our licensed broker partnerships, we now deliver live MLS data—including agent remarks and photos—delivered compliantly through the same high-performance API.

Same lightning-fast API. Same industry-leading support. Now with a 360° view of every property.

Skip Trace Upgrade: Tier-1 Demographic Data

We launched a new skip trace product powered by Tier-1 demographic data sources, delivering:

Higher hit rates and improved accuracy
Richer demographic profiles including age, education, occupation, and estimated household income

Unlimited Skip Trace plans now available.

Platform: Self-Serve, Transparent, Built for Teams

The New Developer Console

After consistent feedback about account management friction, we rebuilt our entire console from the ground up.

What's New:

Free trials with instant API key provisioning
Granular, real-time usage monitoring
Team management with multiple users and role-based access (coming soon)
AI-powered support via our Context7-trained documentation assistant

This represents months of infrastructure work focused on one goal: making RealEstateAPI dead simple to manage.

No gatekeeping. No waiting on support tickets. Just build.

Community: New Podcast + New Resources

Ground Truth: Conversations with PropTech Operators

We launched Ground Truth, a podcast featuring candid conversations with top PropTech operators about:

What tools they actually use
Where today's software falls short
What they wish existed—but doesn't (yet)

We've already featured the head of renovation at Offerpad, the largest transaction coordinator in the country, and other operators building at the edge of what's possible.

Built for builders. No fluff. Listen here

New Website, Sharper Positioning

We refreshed our website with cleaner design, sharper positioning, and new resources for developers and operators building the next generation of PropTech.

Looking Ahead: The Property Intelligence Layer

2025 was about infrastructure:

AI-native data access through MCP
Developer-first workflows and IDE integration
Real-time MLS + public record convergence
Self-serve, transparent platforms

2026 is about what you'll build on top of it.

All the bullets above (and many that I didn’t mention) represent an intense year of infrastructure work focused on one goal: making RealEstateAPI dead simple to manage—no gatekeeping, no waiting on support tickets for basic account changes. Just build. And I am incredibly proud of the way our team stepped up to bring these changes to life.

On that note, we're growing the team and looking for engineers who want to work at the intersection of AI, real estate data, and developer infrastructure. If that's you, reach out.

Thanks to everyone who built with us, pushed us, and helped shape where we're going.

Let's build.
