HipPocket — It takes too long to find or to sell a home—10 weeks on average to search for a home to buy and 12 weeks to sell a home. AI can improve this but seller-focused property websites and Multiple Listing Service (MLS’s) have no incentive or ability to change. Zillow does not want to disrupt $750M of ad revenues and the 850 MLS’s are agent-only tools andeach organization does not have the ability, funds and scale to introduce AI. Buyers and Sellers will continue to suffer if this status quo is not broken.At HipPocket we’re developing an intelligent real estate platform that reduces search and sale times by matching buyers faster to more relevant homes using machine learning, and powering rapid collaboration between buyer, agents and seller through AI enhanced messaging.
