Breezy has officially launched what it calls the world’s first independent AI operating system built specifically for residential real estate professionals, positioning the platform as a productivity layer for an industry the company sizes at $500 billion in services. To fund product development and its initial rollout, Breezy raised an oversubscribed $10 million preseed round led by Ribbit Capital, with participation from Fifth Wall, DST Global, Liquid 2 Ventures, Eyal Ofer’s O.G. Venture Partners, Fidji Simo, and David Marcus, among others. The company says the new capital will support expansion of engineering and design teams, deeper investment in data and security, and go-to-market readiness for brokerage-wide deployments.
The Los Angeles-based startup was founded in early 2024 by top-producing agent James Harris, alongside Afterpay co-founders Nick Molnar and Anthony Eisen, with the stated goal of consolidating agent workflows into a single AI-powered workspace to reduce administrative load and accelerate client-facing output.
Breezy is designed around agent-specific tasks that are typically spread across multiple tools, including creating branded comparable market analyses, capturing and organizing client conversations, automatically updating pipelines, and supporting lead nurturing. The company argues that most real estate software remains fragmented and that many agents still rely on notes and spreadsheets to manage complex pipelines, even as consumers increasingly adopt AI-assisted home search behavior.
A centerpiece of the launch is Underbuilt, a proprietary data product Breezy describes as a way to reveal “true building potential” for residential properties. The feature is intended to help agents identify development or expansion opportunities that may not be obvious in standard listings, turning zoning and buildability insights into a differentiator during client conversations. Breezy says Underbuilt was incubated within Harris’s brokerage practice and refined through ongoing use with a community of more than 200 agents who provided real-time feedback during product development.
Breezy is opening an exclusive waitlist now, with a broader U.S. launch targeted for the first half of 2026. The company also signals early intent to expand internationally, citing near-term opportunities in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Dubai.
KEY QUOTES
“I wanted a tool that could think like I do—adjust comps, track client needs, and automate repetitive tasks—so I could focus on delivering the best experience for my clients and growing my business. That wish became Breezy’s mission.”
“After 25 years in luxury real estate, I was still burning hours bouncing between half a dozen tools to prepare for one client meeting. None of them were built with agents in mind. That was the spark for Breezy. From that moment, I became obsessed with building a platform entirely for agents—one that gives them back their time, helps them win more business, and becomes their ultimate competitive advantage.”
“One of the biggest unlocks in this business is being able to create opportunity where others don’t see it. When an agent can show a client how underbuilt a property is—when they can uncover real, buildable potential—that agent becomes irreplaceable. They’re not just opening doors; they’re opening possibilities. That kind of insight creates trust, loyalty, and value in a way no generic pitch ever could.”
Breezy Founder & CEO, James Harris
“James has lived and breathed real estate at the highest level for over two decades. His obsession with elevating agents and improving the way that they work is exactly why Breezy is going to change the game. This isn’t just another PropTech tool—it’s founder-market fit meets cutting-edge technology: James’ lived experience, reimagined through AI, to solve problems agents have battled for years.”
Micky Malka, Founder of Ribbit Capital
“AI is transforming every corner of the built world—and residential real estate agents are no exception. With over 2M residential agents in the U.S. alone and nearly 20M globally, this is one of the largest professional categories on the planet and among the most underserved by technology. Breezy is the first true vertical AI platform for agents. Its purpose-built OS can unlock productivity across a $500B industry, reshaping how agents work from the palm of their hand.”
Brendan Wallace, CEO & Chief Investment Officer, Fifth Wall
