PropTech Market Map 2026: 76 Real Estate Tech Companies

This map covers the companies that sell technology to the people who find, sell, finance, manage, build and invest in US property, grouped by the job each one does, plus the brokerages and home-buyers that sell the transaction itself. Several well-known brands now sit under a few parent groups, so check who owns a company before you shortlist it. It lists 76 real estate tech companies in nine categories, checked on 22 October 2026, so by the end you can name the category that matches your job, see how its companies are bought, and know which ones to look at first.

Real estate tech companies at a glance

Each row is one category, in the order a property moves through its life. Category 3 takes two rows, one per buyer. Brokerages come last because you transact with them rather than license them. The how-it's-bought labels come from vendor pages, and each means "usually". Nothing in these columns is a ranking, and the last column counts this map's roster, not the market.

Real estate tech companies by category, as of 22 October 2026. Who buys each category is our classification.

Each company appears once, filed by what you sign for, or by how it makes money if you don't sign for anything; other lines of business are noted in its row.

Not mapped: short-term rental software, home insurance technology and home services. US companies only.

Real estate tech companies by category

Find your job in the master table, then the companies in its table below. These are proptech companies and real estate software companies, filed by job.

1. Real estate listing portals and marketplaces

Portals sell attention. Consumers search for free, while agents, landlords, property managers and commercial real estate (CRE) brokers pay to be seen. Zillow is filed here for home search, rentals and agent advertising. Its agent tools sit in category 2 under their own brand names, and Redfin sits in category 9 because it is a brokerage. Crexi is one row here, not a row in CRE software.

Category 1, real estate listing portals and marketplaces: companies checked for a live offering, 2026 brand and parent as of 22 October 2026. Alphabetical within each group. ◆ marks the author.

A listing portal is not a listing feed. Residential listings reach portals through multiple listing services (MLSs), licensed one MLS at a time across 484 US MLSs at the end of 2025.

2. Real estate agent and brokerage software

Two different purchases share this category. An agent or team buys CRM and lead generation to win and work leads. A brokerage or MLS buys transaction, showing and back-office software to run files, showings and accounting. In practice, agents and teams often subscribe to a CRM on their own, while back office tends to be a brokerage-wide contract.

CompanyBest use caseWhat they do
Agent CRM and lead generation · usually bought as a software subscription

Category 2, real estate agent and brokerage software: companies checked for a live offering, 2026 brand and parent as of 22 October 2026. Alphabetical within each group. ◆ marks the author.

Zillow owns three of the eight, Follow Up Boss, dotloop and ShowingTime, each filed under its own name. "All-in-one" is a vendor phrase, not a category: a CRM does not replace transaction management.

3. Mortgage, title and closing technology companies

This category has two buyers and one table. Lenders buy the loan stack: a loan origination system (LOS), a borrower-facing point of sale (POS), and pricing and secondary-marketing software. Title and escrow companies buy closing tools for title work, wire verification, remote online notarization (RON) and eClosing, and lenders order appraisals through the valuation rows. Enterprise contracts are the usual model on the lending side; per-transaction fees are common on the closing side.

None of these companies lends money. Lenders such as Better and Rocket Mortgage are not on this map as vendors. Valuation is kept to two names, Clear Capital and Reggora, with Cotality filed in category 8.

4. Property management software

In practice, an operator often runs one property management system and adds point tools for leasing, payments and screening. The systems rows separate by portfolio: small and growing managers, mid-size residential, large multifamily, mixed and multi-asset portfolios, and affordable housing. EliseAI and Funnel handle leasing beside the system of record.

Category 4, property management software: companies checked for a live offering, 2026 brand and parent as of 22 October 2026. Alphabetical within each group. ◆ marks the author.

RealPage has three rows, its own and Buildium here and Cherre in category 8, because each brand is filed by what you sign for.

5. Commercial real estate software

This table holds operating software only. CRE marketplaces are in category 1, and CRE information from CoStar, Cherre and Placer.ai is in category 8. The buyers differ inside the category: landlords buy leasing and asset management, sponsors and fund managers buy fund and deal software, occupiers and their accountants buy lease administration, and brokers buy Buildout. Juniper Square runs fund operations; it is not a source of market information.

6. Construction technology companies

Two jobs sit here. Project management covers budgets, draws, documents and field coordination; developers usually buy budget and draw tracking, and general contractors buy jobsite management. Reality capture turns a building into imagery and 3D records.

CompanyBest use caseWhat they do
Construction and development management · usually bought as a software subscription

Category 6, construction technology companies: companies checked for a live offering, 2026 brand and parent as of 22 October 2026. Alphabetical within each group. ◆ marks the author.

Matterport is filed here for reality capture, though owners also use it for 3D marketing tours. CoStar has owned it since 28 February 2025. Construction sits apart from smart building because the buyer changes once the building is handed over.

7. Smart building, access and ESG companies

Hardware plus subscription is the common model: you buy the devices, then keep paying for the software that runs them. Access control covers doors, credentials, cameras and self-guided tours. Building operations and ESG reporting covers equipment data, energy use and disclosure.

Category 7, smart building, access and ESG companies: companies checked for a live offering, 2026 brand and parent as of 22 October 2026. Alphabetical within each group. ◆ marks the author.

Multifamily operators often buy from this category and category 4 together. DOOR is the brand Latch has used since August 2025.

8. Property data and analytics companies

This category is thin by design: seven names, with no scores, coverage counts or freshness comparisons. Data, product and analytics teams buy here, usually through a data licence or API, and the one managed-service row is ours, marked ◆. It answers who is in property data, not which vendor to pick. CoreLogic, Inc. now does business as Cotality, and Cherre has been part of RealPage since July 2026.

9. Brokerages and home-buying companies

You buy, sell or join through these companies; you do not license them. They are filed apart so a brokerage that builds its own technology is never read as a software vendor.

CompanyBest use caseWhat they do

Redfin is a brokerage that also runs its own home search portal, and it has been part of Rocket Companies since 1 July 2025. The Anywhere brands, such as Coldwell Banker and Century 21, have been part of Compass since 9 January 2026.

Who owns which real estate tech companies?

Houlihan Lokey counted 109 announced US proptech M&A transactions in 2025, in its 2025 PropTech Year in Review. The table indexes this map's roster by parent. A parent gets a row if it owns two or more brands here or completed a change to an on-map brand since 2024. The brand on a product page is not always the company you contract with.

Expert Insights

"This dynamic is fueling a steady cadence of consolidation, as established players extend their lead and smaller firms face acquisition or attrition."

Ashkán Zandieh, founder and managing director, Center for Real Estate Technology & Innovation (CRETI), writing in Commercial Observer, 27 October 2025

Where Forage AI fits in the proptech market

Forage AI is an end-to-end managed data pipeline that automates discovery, extraction, structuring, quality checks and delivery, built to the client's own fields and systems. It is bought as a managed service contract, so it takes one row in category 8 under its own buying model. Clients own the data, and Forage AI never resells it. The honest trade-off: it is slower to the first row than buying a file or calling an API, in exchange for data built to your fields. See our managed property data pipeline.

How we built this proptech market map

A company is on this map if it sells a product or service to the people who find, transact, finance, manage, build, run or invest in US property. We checked each company's live page and current 2026 brand on 22 October 2026, then filed it by what you sign for, the rule under the master table. How-bought labels come from vendor pages (sign up, contact sales, or buy hardware), never from prices. Parents appear only where a primary source shows them. Rows are alphabetical, one per company, with no ranking, no pricing and no paid placement; ◆ marks the author. Treat it as a shortlist, not a census or an evaluation. Real estate is also one category in our external data market map. We review the map quarterly. If a listing is out of date, tell us.

Forage AI promo: every company on this map runs on data, we build yours. The sites and documents you specify; fields built to your schema; reviewed before the data reaches you; source changes handled by Forage AI. Talk to our expert.
Web data for real estate teams, built and run for you.

Verdict: which proptech category fits your job?

  • Brokerage, team or agent running leads, showings and contracts: start with agent and brokerage software (category 2).
  • Lender originating, pricing or selling loans: start with mortgage technology (category 3).
  • Title or escrow company running closings and checking wires: start with title, closing and valuation (category 3).
  • Residential property manager or multifamily operator: start with property management software (category 4).
  • CRE owner, investor, fund manager or occupier: start with commercial real estate software (category 5).
  • Developer or general contractor: start with construction and development technology (category 6).
  • Building owner focused on access, devices or energy reporting: start with smart building, access and ESG (category 7).
  • Data or product team that needs property, parcel or location data: start with property data and analytics (category 8), then the providers comparison.
  • Looking at employers, partners or investments rather than buying: the ownership table shows where the large parent groups sit.

Before you shortlist, check the owner: several well-known brands on this map changed parent in 2024-26.

Frequently asked questions

What are the biggest real estate tech companies?

On this map, the parent groups that hold two or more brands, or bought one since 2024, are Compass International Holdings, Constellation Software, CoStar Group, RealPage, Rocket Companies and Zillow Group, listed alphabetically. The ownership table shows each group's brands and any change since 2024. This is a count of brands on the map, not a revenue ranking.

What are the main categories of proptech?

This map uses nine: listing portals and marketplaces; agent and brokerage software; mortgage, title and closing technology; property management software; commercial real estate software; construction technology; smart building, access and ESG; property data and analytics; and brokerages and home-buying companies. Each is defined by the job it does and the buyer who pays for it.

Which AI companies are involved in real estate?

On this map, three companies describe their product as AI on their own pages: EliseAI ("Smarter Operations, Powered by AI"), Funnel ("Multifamily AI for everything, across email, phone, text, and chat") and OpenSpace ("AI-powered workflows get smarter every day"). Other vendors add AI features too; this map files companies by job, not technology. See AI technologies in real estate.

Are Compass, Redfin and Opendoor tech companies?

They are a brokerage, a brokerage with its own home search portal, and an instant buyer, and each builds its own technology. You transact with them; you do not license their software. Redfin has been part of Rocket Companies since 1 July 2025, and Compass completed its Anywhere Real Estate deal on 9 January 2026.

How many proptech companies are there?

There is no single count; it depends on scope. Propexo, a vendor, counts 1,143 residential rental proptech companies in the US and Canada, with data as of September 2025. Built In lists 546 as of October 2026. Proptech Collective tracks "more than 590 active Canadian proptech companies" in its 2025 report. This map lists 76 US companies.

How current is this proptech market map?

Every company was checked on 22 October 2026. Ownership was confirmed at company pages, acquirer releases and SEC filings, and only completed changes are shown. We review the map quarterly, so brand names, parents and categories stay current. If you spot a listing that has changed since then, tell us and we will check it.
