MaxHome.AI Raises $5M to Cut Paperwork and Speed Real Estate Transactions

MaxHome.AI Helps Real Estate Agents Thrive in a Market Under Pressure

Less paperwork, more time with clients. On Sep 25, 2025 (EDT), MaxHome.AI announced an AI-native operating system that clears the back-office bottlenecks slowing down agents and brokerages.

With home sales near historic lows and recent NAR practice changes impacting commission structures, every minute and basis point matters. Admin overhead, compliance risk, and slow transaction cycles are eroding margins. MaxHome.AI tackles the work that steals your day so your team can focus on client service and deal velocity.

What MaxHome.AI Automates

• Document intake, classification, versioning, and storage
• Compliance checks, standardized checklists, deadlines, and audit trails
• Transaction coordination across buyers, sellers, lenders, and title
• Tasking, reminders, and status visibility for agents and admins
• Brokerage-level oversight to reduce errors and rework

Result: fewer manual touchpoints, faster closings, and lower operational cost per file. Agents get time back for showings, negotiations, and referrals.

Who's Already Using It

Affiliates of Berkshire Hathaway and Coldwell Banker, plus independents like The Keyes Company, are streamlining their workflows with MaxHome.AI. "MaxHome has eliminated the friction in our transaction process that we didn't even realize was solvable," said Wendi Iglesias, CIO of The Keyes Company. "The impact on our operations has been immediate and meaningful."

Founder With Brokerage-Scale Experience

MaxHome.AI was founded by Divya Aathresh, who built the real estate business at Better.com, scaling to 15,000+ agents across 22 states. The insight: offloading back-office workflows can triple agent capacity. Aathresh said the company is building an AI-native system for real estate that boosts efficiency and delivers the speed, accuracy, and trust brokerages expect.

Funding and Momentum

The company raised a new $5 million seed round led by Fika Ventures, with participation from BBG Ventures, 1Sharpe Ventures, and Four Acres Capital. Total funding now stands at $7 million.

"We believe MaxHome.AI is building foundational infrastructure for modern brokerages," said John Chen, General Partner at Fika Ventures. "Deep domain expertise and founder-market fit are critical for us when backing a company - and in MaxHome.AI's case, both were undeniable. That edge has enabled them to build AI copilots that are deeply embedded, incredibly useful, and already delivering real ROI."

Why This Matters Now

Practice changes tied to the recent NAR actions are reshaping how commissions are handled and disclosed, forcing teams to rethink process and profitability. If your back office still runs on spreadsheets and email threads, you're absorbing cost and risk that can be automated. See NAR's practice changes summary for context here.

How Brokerages Can Put This to Work

• Start where errors are frequent: document intake, checklist compliance, and key-date tracking.
• Define clear SLAs per transaction stage (e.g., listing to under contract, under contract to clear to close).
• Instrument your pipeline: time-in-stage, touches per file, and correction rate pre/post-automation.
• Keep humans in the loop for exceptions and final sign-off to protect compliance and client trust.
• Pilot with a high-volume office, iterate checklists weekly, then roll out brokerage-wide.
