Who does AI automation for real estate companies?
Real Estate AI Studio builds and operates AI workflow automation for real estate companies, including brokerages, property managers, investment firms, developers, and real estate law firms. We integrate AI into the tools you already run, such as your CRM, property management system, email, and spreadsheets, then manage the workflows for you. The studio is operator-led, built by people who ran asset management on a $1.5 billion multifamily portfolio at Related Companies before founding the firm.
What are managed AI services for property management?
Managed AI services means we build AI workflows for your property management operation and then run them for you, monitored and tuned, instead of handing you software and leaving. For property managers that covers work order intake and triage, lease abstraction, owner reporting, renewal pipelines, collections, and after-hours leasing inquiry response, deployed into systems like AppFolio and Yardi. Our rent collection case study documents a 100 basis point delinquency reduction on an institutional multifamily portfolio.
Do you work as an AI consultant for commercial real estate firms?
Yes. Real Estate AI Studio is an AI consulting and implementation firm for commercial real estate, working across six practice areas: brokerage, acquisitions, asset and property management, leasing, development, and real estate law. Engagements start with a two week AI workflow audit or a scoped pilot on a single workflow, not an open-ended retainer.
Do you produce AI renderings for developers?
Yes. We produce photorealistic elevation renders for developers and architects, generated from your drawn elevations in CAD, PDF, or a clean hand sketch. Typical projects are single-family homes, ADUs, infill housing, townhomes, and small multifamily, with front, side, and rear elevations delivered as a matched set for lender packages, planning submittals, and pre-sales marketing. Send one elevation and we will return the rendered version of that face so you can judge the quality before committing.
Do you serve Orange County and Southern California?
Yes. Real Estate AI Studio is based in Costa Mesa, California, in the heart of Orange County, and works with operators across Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and the rest of Southern California. Being local means on-site working sessions are practical for Southern California clients.
Do you work with companies outside California?
Yes. Most of our work is delivered remotely into your existing systems, so we serve clients across the United States. Our benchmark deployment work was done on a portfolio spanning New York and California.
What tools and models do you build on?
We build primarily on Anthropic’s Claude models and deploy into the platforms real estate teams already use, including AppFolio, Yardi, and HubSpot. You own the data, the integrations, and the playbooks we build.
How do engagements work, and what does it cost?
Every engagement starts with a free 30 minute discovery call, and if AI is the wrong answer for your workflow we will say so. From there, most clients start with either a two week AI workflow audit or a scoped pilot on one workflow, one office, or one property type, followed by managed operation with monthly performance reviews. Projects are scoped individually with defined deliverables rather than hourly billing.
Who is behind Real Estate AI Studio?
Real Estate AI Studio is run by operators, not career consultants. The team’s background covers asset management on a $1.5 billion multifamily portfolio at Related Companies, a production AI rent collection system that cut delinquency by 100 basis points and accelerated collection velocity by 41 percent, and an MBA from UT Austin’s McCombs School of Business.
How is this different from buying AI software?
Software vendors sell you a tool and wish you luck. We design the workflow around your actual operation, build it into your existing systems, operate it with monitoring and human review, and hand your team ownership of everything we build. No generic SaaS subscription, no slide deck consulting.
