E128 — Biju Ashokan (CEO, Radius): AI-native operating system for real estate brokers

About this episode

This episode features Biju Ashokan discussing how AI and automation are transforming the real estate agent workflow.

In this episode of Fireside with a VC , I sit down with Biju Ashokan , CEO of Radius , to unpack how AI and automation are reshaping the real estate agent workflow—from lead to close. We discuss: · How AI and automation can help agents buy or sell five times more properties per year (in the right operating model). · What an “always-on” assistant looks like: proactively sourcing inventory, matching buyers and sellers, drafting complex documents, and handling back office tasks—so agents can spend more time on relationships and closing. · What is changing in the US real estate and brokerage industry. · Why the number of agents may decrease, while productivity and income per agent may rise.
