MaxHome.AI Raises $5M Seed Round to Transform Real Estate Transactions

MaxHome.AI, an AI-native operating system designed for residential real estate transactions, has raised $5 million in seed funding led by Fika Ventures, with participation from BBG Ventures, 1Sharpe Ventures, and Four Acres Capital. This investment brings the company’s total funding to $7 million, building on a previous $2 million pre-seed round. The funding addresses critical operational challenges in the real estate industry, particularly as brokerages face increased economic pressure from shifts in buyer agent commission structures.

The platform automates document processing and back-office workflows for brokerages, reducing manual effort and errors while creating a faster, smoother homebuying experience. CEO and Founder Divya Aathresh stated, ‘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 modern brokerages will rely on to compete and thrive in a rapidly evolving market.’ The system specifically targets the chaos that begins when a buyer is ready to make an offer, including chasing documents, tracking signatures, ensuring compliance, and coordinating across agents, lenders, and title companies.

Early customer adoption demonstrates the platform’s value, with MaxHome.AI currently working with leading independent brokerages as well as franchise affiliates of Berkshire Hathaway and Coldwell Banker. John Chen, General Partner at Fika Ventures, noted, ‘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.’ The company’s founder previously led real estate partnerships and in-house brokerage operations at Better.com, where she scaled the agent network to more than 15,000 agents.

Wendi Iglesias, Chief Information Officer at The Keyes Company, reported immediate operational impact, stating, ‘MaxHome has eliminated the friction in our transaction process that we didn’t even realize was solvable.’ The new funding will enable MaxHome.AI to deepen its technology capabilities and accelerate its product roadmap in response to growing market demand, including solutions that reimagine core transaction touchpoints.
