MaxHome.
AI, an AI-native operating system designed to automate critical workflows for residential real estate agents and brokerages, has raised $5 million in new seed funding, bringing its total capital to $7 million.
The platform addresses operational challenges for real estate professionals, including extensive paperwork, compliance checks, and managing communications between buyers, sellers, and lenders. This automation is intended to free up agents’ time, allowing them to concentrate on client engagement. The real estate market is currently experiencing significant pressures, characterized by low home sales and recent shifts in commission structures following a National Association of Realtors (NAR) ruling.

AI is currently utilized by major brokerages, including affiliates of Berkshire Hathaway and Coldwell Banker, as well as independent firms like The Keyes Company. Wendi Iglesias, CIO of The Keyes Company, stated, “MaxHome has eliminated the friction in our transaction process that we didn’t even realize was solvable. The impact on our operations has been immediate and meaningful.”
The company was founded by Divya Aathresh, who previously developed the real estate division at Better.com, expanding it to over 15,000 agents across 22 states. Aathresh identified the operational complexities within brokerages and the potential for AI to enhance agent capacity by streamlining back-office functions. Aathresh commented, “By building an AI-native system tailored to the complexities of real estate, we’re not just improving efficiency. We’re creating the infrastructure that allows agents and brokerages to thrive in a market that demands speed, accuracy, and trust.”
The $5 million seed funding round was led by Fika Ventures, with additional participation from BBG Ventures, 1Sharpe Ventures, and Four Acres Capital. This investment is designated to accelerate MaxHome.
AI’s objective to refine core transaction processes and introduce further automation tools designed to reduce friction for users. John Chen, General Partner at Fika Ventures, remarked, “We believe MaxHome.
AI is building foundational infrastructure for modern brokerages. 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.”
