I've built CRE software for thirty years. AI finally let me build the one brokers actually wanted.

Realhound has been quietly running commercial real estate practices since the 1990s — the contact-and-property graph, the cold-call workflow, the comp and proforma math that teams at national firms have trusted for two decades. Brokers who use it call it their notebook. Some databases in it are older than the brokers' careers.

But every CRM of that era — ours included — shares a fatal flaw: the broker has to type everything in. And brokers, rationally, refuse. The industry's answer has been to sell you virtual assistants to do the typing, or to promise "data review instead of data entry" while still making you review everything. The database stays empty; the tool gets blamed; the stack grows another $500-a-month layer.

What changed is not another feature. Parsing an email now costs half a cent. Transcribing a call, a penny a minute. Reading a rent roll, a nickel. For the first time it is economically possible for software to simply do the work — to watch the inbox, the calendar, the county record, and the market, and to keep the database current as a side effect of the broker's ordinary day.

So we're rebuilding Realhound from a clean sheet around that fact. The thirty years of domain DNA survive — the graph, the workflows, the formulas, golden-tested against the originals. Everything about how the product asks you to work does not survive. Realhound Web fills itself in, tells you who to call, does the assistant's job, runs the deal, and never guesses on money.

One more thing worth saying plainly: this company is itself run with AI — engineering, support, operations — under one human's direction and approval. That is why a $99 product can carry what the incumbents charge $1,250 for. The org chart is an API bill, and the savings are the price list.

Legacy customers move first: white-glove, free, with a reconciliation report proving every field arrived. They've trusted this software with their business for twenty years. That trust is the foundation Realhound Web stands on.
