Premarket has announced the acquisition of Maklare AI, an artificial intelligence company focused on structuring demand-side data in residential real estate. As part of the transaction, Maklare AI co-founder Oliver Wenner joins Premarket as chief operating officer, bringing AI capabilities that accelerate Premarket’s intelligence roadmap.
Residential real estate has long operated with near-complete opacity on buyer demand, relying on anecdotal agent intelligence and historical transaction data to make critical pricing and timing decisions. Maklare AI was founded to develop proprietary AI infrastructure to structure previously siloed and unstructured demand data, extracting actionable signals from buyer behavior, preferences, and intent that have historically disappeared the moment a conversation ends.
Brett Helberg, founder and CEO of Premarket, said, “Premarket exists to rebuild that shared infrastructure, but on better terms for every agent, brokerage, and their clients. Bringing Oliver and Maklare’s AI capabilities into Premarket means we can now do that for both supply and demand simultaneously. It’s a meaningful acceleration of everything we’re building.”
Oliver Wenner, Maklare AI co-founder and CEO, said, “Real estate has always been a supply-side industry – the stock of available properties is generally known, tracked, and marketed. The demand side has operated in complete opacity. Agents know their own clients, but the market has no structured view of aggregate demand, directional intent, or forward-looking buyer signals. Inside Premarket, with real inventory and real buyers at scale, we can build the demand intelligence layer this market has never had.”
