- Inman Connect Speaking Session: Dave Carter, vice president, marketing, Lofty will present: “The Knowledge Gap: Real Estate’s Hidden Obstacle to Home Sales” on Thursday, July 30th at 11:20 a.m. on the mainstage at Inman Connect San Diego.
A recent Wells Fargo survey found that nearly 70% of prospective first-time homebuyers believe they understand the homebuying process yet about 75% could not answer even half the questions on a basic 12-question homebuying quiz correctly, and 90% misunderstood how closing costs work. The result is a stalled pipeline across the industry: buyers who could qualify, but who never clearly understand their buying power and as a result, never make the call.
House.ai was built to close that gap.
The AI powered platform helps consumers build credit, save smarter, understand what they can really afford, and become mortgage-ready, delivering a clear, personalized plan across buying, selling, renting, and/or owning a home. Designed for everyone along the home buying journey – a first-time buyer, a homeowner ready to move up, or an owner deciding whether to rent out a property while buying the next one – House.ai turns uncertainty into a thoughtful, documented and personalized plan to support consumers in the next important step.
For agents and brokers, House.ai absorbs the time-consuming upfront work required to qualify leads and delivers only those that are sales ready, ensuring agents can stay focused on consumers eager to make the next move. As a consumer's readiness builds and their profile crosses into “offer-ready,” House.ai connects them to a trusted local agent or mortgage professional through the Lofty network. Unlike other industry resources, House.ai doesn’t deliver more leads but better-prepared prospects to help maximize agent productivity and support increased business growth.
“The real estate industry has been held back from achieving its growth potential as consumers lack the personalized insight needed to harness their true buying power,” said Joe Chen, CEO and Founder of House.ai. “House.ai closes that gap for consumers, and it changes the equation for agents, too: instead of chasing unqualified leads, professionals in the Lofty network meet clients who already know their number, their gap, and their plan. This ensures a better experience for buyers, and a stronger pipeline for the professionals who serve them.”
