Agnsy -- AI That Just Sold a $2.5M Home
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A home is more than a building — it's the foundation for dreams, families, and communities. Today marks a pivotal moment in real estate as Agnsy, the AI-native homebuying platform, announces it has successfully placed a $2.5 million home in San Jose, California under contract, powered by artificial intelligence.
Agnsy is redefining the $44 billion home-buying commission market with the first AI-driven, end-to-end platform eliminating the need for traditional buyer agents. Like Carvana for cars, Agnsy places buyers in control, delivering faster, smarter, and more affordable homebuying outcomes.
"Buying a home should not be a privilege but a right," said co-founder and CEO Kia Kalhori. "Technology democratized travel, finance, and transportation. Agnsy is doing the same for real estate."
Following successful beta testing and this groundbreaking transaction, Agnsy has opened a $2 million seed round to expand across California and accelerate feature development.
Tackling a $44 Billion Problem
Real estate remains entrenched in outdated practices, particularly on the buy side, with $44 billion annually paid in commissions. Agnsy disrupts this by enabling buyers to:
- Submit expert-level offers in minutes
- Access complete disclosures instantly and independently
- Retain 85% of buyer agent commissions, saving an average of $51,000 per transaction
- Leverage AI replicating top agent expertise without traditional sales pressures
A Founding Team Built for the Revolution
Agnsy's founders combine deep real estate and AI expertise:
Kia Kalhori, a Cupertino native, rose from humble beginnings to become a top 5% Bay Area agent with $22M in closed transactions as a teenager. A lifelong hacker and product builder, Kalhori has founded and scaled multiple successful businesses, and is now on a mission to lower the homeownership barrier through technology.
Mat Ruiz, a former defense AI engineer who built battle-planning systems for the U.S. military. He completed his Computer Science degree at UCLA and now leads Agnsy's engineering team, which includes MSCS talent from UCLA and USC with experience at Meta, Google, and NASA.
Positioned to Lead a New Category
Like Carvana, Wealthfront, and Expedia reshaped their industries, Agnsy is pioneering AI-native homebuying. With real estate commissions facing regulatory scrutiny and rising consumer demand for transparency and efficiency, Agnsy is at the forefront of a market poised for change.
