COM LAUNCHES CHATGPT- POWERED REAL ESTATE SEARCH ENGINE U nlistedHomes.com has launched an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered home search engine where users can search for homes using natural language. The technology is backed by ChatGPT, an AI tool developed by OpenAI. "Unlisted is thrilled to be the first real estate technology to offer ChatGPT-enabled home search to all our users," said Katie Hill, Unlisted's Founder and CEO. "This innovation aligns with our commitment to connect people and real estate in all new ways to create more opportunities for buyers, sellers, agents, and the industry as a whole." UnlistedHomes.com's search functional- ity marks a significant milestone in property search by allowing buyers to find their dream homes using conversational search terms, for example: "Show me homes with four bed- rooms and two bathrooms between $750,000 and $900,000 in Upper Arlington, Ohio." Historically, online home search engines have limited users to selecting criteria one at- tribute at a time, often requiring seven or more specifications before revealing search results. Unlisted's ChatGPT integration provides a more streamlined mechanism where users simply type a description of the home they desire into an open text box. The software then translates users' words into complex queries of UnlistedHomes.com's database of more than 121 million homes na- tionwide. The result is a list of homes curated specifically for the buyer. "Unlisted's ChatGPT integration represents one example of the immense potential of AI technology to revolutionize the real estate industry," said Henri Hegemier, Unlisted's CTO. "We're demonstrating a very practical application of large language models, helping users find their ideal homes more efficiently and intuitively than ever before." Unlisted's cloud-based software leverages AI and machine learning technology uniquely de- signed to reveal and align previously untapped real estate opportunities for buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and the industry as a whole. "Independent mortgage brokers are the core of our industry, and they're needed now more than ever. They help millions of borrowers navigate an increasingly complex economic environment." —Rick Soukoulis, Founder and CEO, ReadyPrice
