Tavant Wins Inman's 2025 Best of Proptech Award for AI & Automation
Dec 18, 2025 - SANTA CLARA, Calif. Tavant has been named a winner in the 2025 Inman Best of Proptech Awards for AI & Automation in Real Estate. The recognition centers on Tavant's TOUCHLESS® AI transformation platform and its impact on origination speed, operational cost, and borrower experience.
For lenders, real estate operators, and construction finance teams, this is a signal: AI-driven automation is no longer experimental. It's showing measurable gains across underwriting, processing, and conversion.
Why it matters for real estate and construction
- Processing times compressed to days, not weeks.
- Underwriter productivity raised by up to 12x.
- Operational costs reduced by up to 60%.
- Borrower experience improved across origination and servicing, which supports higher lead-to-loan conversion.
Hassan Rashid, President of Fintech at Tavant, noted that the platform is making mortgage origination faster, smarter, cheaper, and more seamless for borrowers and lenders. That's the benchmark buyers and builders increasingly expect at the point of financing.
What's inside the TOUCHLESS® AI platform
- Agentic AI assistants (MAYA™) for borrowers, loan officers, and underwriters.
- AI-powered document analysis for high-volume, error-prone paperwork.
- Real-time external data integration to reduce back-and-forth and manual checks.
- Predictive underwriting to prioritize files and surface risks early.
- Dynamic workflow and experience configuration using an agentic AI architecture.
- Enhances existing LOS and POS systems; time to first impact under six months.
Inman's awards highlight providers changing how homes are built, financed, bought, sold, and managed. As CEO Emily Paquette noted, the winners aren't just improving tools-they're redefining how transactions get done.
Practical next steps for operators and lenders
- Map your loan pipeline and pinpoint the slowest steps (document collection, conditions clearing, verification, disclosures).
- Prioritize one or two high-volume document types for AI-driven classification and validation to prove value fast.
- Integrate AI assistants where human wait-times are longest (borrower Q&A, LO triage, underwriting stips).
- Set clear KPIs: cycle-time, touch count per file, pull-through, cost per loan, and borrower NPS.
- Run a 90-day pilot alongside your LOS/POS, then scale to additional products and branches.
Where this is headed
The award underscores a shift from manual file chasing to AI-assisted workflows across origination and servicing. Teams that standardize on data, documents, and decisions will see the biggest lift-fewer touches, faster clear-to-close, and more consistent margins.
