RealSearch.com.au is proud to share a major milestone in our Australian proptech journey.
RealSearch has been named a finalist in four major categories at the 2026 Proptech Awards, recognising our continued work in property technology, AI-powered property search, buyer education, real estate marketing and digital innovation.
The finalist categories include:
🏆 Proptech Leader of the Year
🏆 Buyer, Renter & Owner Solutions
🏆 Sales & Marketing
🏆 AI Empowered Solutions
In addition, Rama Dwarapudi, Founder & CEO of RealSearch.com.au and Realbot.com.au, has been recognised as a finalist for Proptech Leader of the Year.
This recognition is an important moment for RealSearch, Realbot and our mission to build a smarter, more transparent and more useful property experience for Australians.
Building the New Way of Property
RealSearch was created with a clear purpose: to help buyers, sellers, renters, investors and real estate professionals make better property decisions using better information.
Buying or selling property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. Yet, many Australians still rely on limited listing information, basic suburb data and surface-level marketing when making property decisions.
RealSearch is working to change that.
Through AI property search, immersive 3D suburb views, property insights, buyer due diligence tools, market information, suburb research and digital property experiences, RealSearch helps users explore property in a more informed and engaging way.
Our focus is simple:
Search less. Know more.
Recognition Across Buyer, Renter and Owner Solutions
Being named a finalist in the Buyer, Renter & Owner Solutions category is especially meaningful because it reflects the heart of the RealSearch platform.
RealSearch is designed to help everyday Australians understand more than just the listing price or photos. The platform supports users with deeper property and suburb insights, including location context, nearby amenities, property information, market signals and AI-assisted research.
For buyers, this means better due diligence before making an offer.
For renters, this means understanding the suburb, lifestyle and local area before choosing a home.
For owners and sellers, this means having access to smarter property presentation, digital visibility and market information.
RealSearch aims to give Australians a clearer picture before they make their next property move.
AI Empowered Solutions: The Future of Property Search
RealSearch has also been recognised as a finalist in the AI Empowered Solutions category.
This category reflects one of the most important parts of our work: using artificial intelligence to improve the property journey.
AI is not just about automation. In real estate, AI can help people ask better questions, understand complex information faster and compare property options with more confidence.
RealSearch and Realbot are built around this idea.
Our AI-led approach supports property search, suburb discovery, buyer education, property marketing, agent support and lead generation. We believe AI should make property information easier to understand, not more complicated.
This recognition supports our commitment to building useful AI tools for the Australian real estate industry.
Sales and Marketing Innovation for Real Estate
RealSearch has also been named a finalist in the Sales & Marketing category.
This recognition highlights the work RealSearch and Realbot are doing to help real estate agents, agencies and property professionals present properties in a more modern and engaging way.
Today’s property buyers expect more than a standard listing page. They want rich visuals, suburb context, property insights, interactive experiences, videos, floor plans, aerial imagery, AI assistance and easy ways to connect with agents.
RealSearch and Realbot help agencies improve their digital presence, generate enquiries and create stronger property campaigns that stand out online.
From immersive property showcase pages to AI-powered conversations and digital marketing support, our goal is to help agents connect with buyers and sellers in a smarter way.
Proptech Leader of the Year Recognition
Rama Dwarapudi, Founder & CEO of RealSearch.com.au and Realbot.com.au, has also been recognised as a finalist for Proptech Leader of the Year.
This recognition is a proud personal and professional milestone.
RealSearch was built from a real-world property experience and a strong belief that buyers deserve better information before making major property decisions.
The journey has been one of persistence, innovation and commitment to solving real problems in the Australian property market.
From Realbot’s early work supporting real estate agents to RealSearch’s AI property search and immersive property experience, the mission has remained consistent: help Australians make better property decisions with better technology.
A Proud Moment for RealSearch and Realbot
This finalist recognition across four categories is a proud moment for our team, partners, customers, supporters and the wider RealSearch and Realbot community.
It also reinforces the growing need for smarter property platforms in Australia.
The real estate industry is changing quickly. Buyers are becoming more informed. Sellers want better presentation. Agents need stronger digital tools. Investors want clearer data. And property platforms need to do more than display listings.
RealSearch is working to support this change.
We are building a platform that brings together property search, AI insights, suburb intelligence, digital marketing, immersive visuals and buyer education in one connected experience.
Thank You to the Australian Proptech Community
We would like to thank Proptech Australia and the 2026 Proptech Awards team for recognising the work being done across the industry.
We also thank our clients, supporters, real estate agents, agencies, partners and users who continue to believe in the RealSearch and Realbot vision.
This milestone gives us more energy to keep building, improving and delivering useful technology for the Australian property market.
What’s Next for RealSearch?
RealSearch will continue to focus on innovation, transparency and practical tools that help people make better property decisions.
Our next stage is about expanding the RealSearch experience, improving AI property insights, growing our property showcase solutions and supporting more agents and agencies across Australia through Realbot.
This recognition is not the finish line.
It is another step in our journey to build the new way of property.
