Linkhome. An AI agent that finds homes from a message and a budget.

We built the Linkhome AI agent system: people describe what they want in their own words, budget included, and the agent recommends matching homes from live MLS listings, then refines them as the conversation goes on.

Linkhome: An AI agent that finds homes from a message and a budget
The brief

What Linkhome needed.

Linkhome is an AI-powered real estate platform in Irvine, California, covering home search, cash offers, mortgages and selling. Its parent company, Linkhome Holdings, listed on Nasdaq in July 2025.

Property portals make people translate what they want into filters. Linkhome wanted the opposite: say it the way you would to an agent, like “a 3-bed in Irvine between $1M and $2M near a good school”, and get the right homes back.

What we built

The product, feature by feature.

  1. 01

    Plain-language search

    People type or say what they want. Location, price range, bedrooms, bathrooms, ZIP code and budget are understood from free text.

  2. 02

    Property recommendations

    Answers stream back in real time and end with matching MLS listings, each with price, beds, baths, square footage and address.

  3. 03

    Refine by conversation

    Follow-ups keep the context of the search, so “cheaper” or “closer to the school” narrows the results instead of starting over.

  4. 04

    Local and Agent modes

    A fast local search for simple requests, and a deeper agent mode for complex ones.

  5. 05

    More than homes

    The same agent handles office leases by size and monthly budget, land by size and budget, and mortgage questions such as monthly payments.

  6. 06

    Map and list views

    Results switch between property cards and a map, with favourites, sharing and a one-tap listing poster.

  7. 07

    Voice input

    A mic button turns speech into a search.

  8. 08

    Ask about a listing

    Every listing page gets its own chat for questions about that home.

  9. 09

    Bilingual

    The assistant works in English and Chinese.
