AI agencies for real estate: a verified comparison of providers in 2026

This comparison is published by Lumyniq, which appears on the list. Each third-party provider entry rests on verifiable sources: the Sirene register, the providers' own pages and review platforms. For the use cases in detail, see our guide to AI and real estate.

Real estate is adopting AI faster than average. According to INSEE, 26% of companies with 10 or more employees in the real estate sector used at least one AI technology in 2025, up from 14% in 2024 and 7% in 2023. Across all sectors, the share was 18% in 2025.

On the ground, a survey published by leboncoin in May 2026 found that 97% of the agents and independent agents surveyed use AI at least occasionally and 71% regularly, mostly to write listings and emails. The size of the professional sample is not given. ChatGPT is named by 87% of them.

A sales agency, a property manager and a developer do different repetitive tasks and face different regulatory constraints.

Five common automations in an agency are covered in our article on AI automations for real estate agencies, and the CRM case in the smart CRM for real estate.

• Company: for third-party providers, legal form, founding date and head office read from the Sirene register and compared with the legal notice on the website.
• Offer and prices: taken from the providers' own pages, without using prices quoted by third-party directories.
• Reviews: searched on Trustpilot and Capterra, reported with the rating and number of reviews when they exist. A rating shown by the provider itself is flagged as such.
• Evidence: named real estate clients or published case studies. Unsourced performance figures are reported as claims.

All screenshots were taken on the providers' websites on 14 September 2026.

These three names often come up in searches for "agence IA immobilier" (AI agency real estate). None of them sells an AI automation service built for real estate agencies.

• youfeel.fr is a directory and comparison site for AI agencies, paid through affiliate deals according to its own pages. As of 14 September 2026, its legal notice gives neither a company name nor a SIREN. Its price ranges and its case study are unsourced.
• Keyzia is real estate data software published by the company NEXT P: mapping, scoring and alerts by address. It is sold on subscription like other software, and the publisher also publishes rankings of tools in its own category.
• Digital Unicorn is a generalist development agency. Its site has no offer dedicated to real estate; the page that shows up in these searches is a blog post.

Do you need to change software? No. The AI features in Hektor and Apimo only work if you use that software. A custom agency connects its agents to your existing tool, through its API when there is one, or through import and export otherwise. If you are considering an open CRM that you can adapt to your properties and mandates, see Twenty CRM.

What AI does not do. Acting as an intermediary in property transactions is reserved for holders of the professional card required by the loi Hoguet of 2 January 1970. An AI agent qualifies, follows up and prepares; the mandate and the commitments remain the professional's.

A custom quote should separate four items: setup, the monthly subscription, AI model usage, and maintenance when a portal or software changes its format. The third item varies with your volume of requests, so ask for an estimate based on your real numbers. Our guide to Claude API pricing gives worked examples.

Décret n° 2015-1437 of 5 November 2015 sets the closed list of documents a landlord or agency may ask an applicant for:

• an identity document
• proof of address
• one or more proofs of employment
• one or more proofs of income

Any document outside this list is prohibited, such as a bank statement, a Carte Vitale health card or a criminal record extract. Article 22-2 of the law of 6 July 1989 provides for a fine of up to €3,000 for an individual and €15,000 for a company. The CNIL specifies that before a viewing, only identity, contact details and search criteria may be collected.

Its reference framework on rental management (2021) sets the retention periods: proof of income from an unsuccessful applicant stays only 3 months in the active database, and any extra documents sent must be deleted or returned. In May 2019, the CNIL fined the property manager SERGIC €400,000: applicants' documents could be accessed by changing a web address, and rejected files were kept too long.

For an AI that sorts applications: ignore and delete any document outside the list, purge files when the retention period ends, and keep a human in any rejection decision to avoid a decision based solely on automated processing (GDPR, Article 22). Our guide to AI agent security covers the technical safeguards.

• Since 2 August 2026, a chatbot, WhatsApp agent or voice agent must state that it is an AI, at the latest at the first exchange (Article 50). See the transparency obligation for AI agents.
• Generated images: tool providers must mark AI-generated content; systems already on the market have until 2 December 2026. For the agency, presenting a virtually furnished photo as such remains the safe rule.
• Scoring rental applicants: Annex III covers assessing the creditworthiness of natural persons. Whether a rental solvency score falls into this category is still open. If it does, the high-risk obligations will apply from 2 December 2027.

The full timeline is in our AI Act guide for businesses.

Found on the websites reviewed for this comparison:

• a SIREN or SIRET in the legal notice that does not match the register
• dozens of city pages with identical text
• quantified gains (+40% mandates) with no source or named client
• network logos with no matching case study
• a certification claimed with no certifying body or number
• "case studies" from sectors other than real estate

And six questions to get answered in writing:

1. Where will the automations run, and who owns the account?
2. Can you show a workflow delivered to a real estate agency, with a contact?
3. What data leaves the European Union, and to which provider?
4. How does the price break down: setup, subscription, AI usage, maintenance?
5. Who fixes it, and how quickly, when a portal or the software changes its format?
6. How do we get our workflows and data back if we stop?
