The Best AI Assistant for Realtors in 2026: 7 Options, Compared Honestly

The seven, side by side

Here is who each assistant fits, how you get it and what it costs as of October 20, 2026.

Prices are what each company publishes. Where a company does not publish one, the table says so, and any reported number names its source.

How to choose in five questions

Pick the assistant that removes a job you do every day, inside a place you already use.

• Where do you spend your day? A CRM, your MLS search, HighLevel, or your phone.
• Which job do you put off most? New leads, past clients, seller updates or deal deadlines.
• Does it ask before it sends anything to a client? Every option here says it does, or lets you choose.
• Can you get it this week? Instinct needs an invite and RealAssist needs the right MLS.
• What does it cost once you add the platform it runs on? Muse needs HighLevel for CRM work, and Lofty's add-on needs a Lofty plan.

Instinct

Instinct is a personal assistant you text or call, and it is still invite only.

It is built for life admin: groceries, travel, reservations and, since October 5, plans inside your group chats. TechCrunch reported a $1 billion Series C on September 28 at a $10 billion valuation, and that it still has no mobile app.

It is free during the beta. It names no CRM, MLS or real estate feature, so treat it as a personal assistant, not a business one.

Meta Muse, now with HighLevel

Meta connected Muse to HighLevel on September 29, so agents who run their CRM there can ask Muse to do work inside it.

HighLevel says Muse can reach more than 600 operations across 38 parts of the CRM, including contacts, conversations and calendars. Meta says nothing publishes, sends or spends without your approval.

The Close notes that neither company has shown it improves lead conversion yet, so test it on a few contacts before you point it at live prospects.

Realtor.com RealAssist AI

RealAssist sets up buyers and their searches inside Realtor.com+, and sends you a Daily Digest of what each client did.

It also drafts client messages, and you approve every action. It is only available if your MLS offers Realtor.com+, which covered more than 192,000 agents in 21 markets at launch on October 6.

It works on buyers and searches, not on your sellers, your inbox or deals under contract.

Lofty AI and Follow Up Boss AI

If your CRM is Lofty or Follow Up Boss, you already have an AI assistant, and it works on what is inside that CRM.

Lofty sells an AI Sales Agent that texts, emails and chats with new leads by itself, free for 10 leads and $60 a month for 200. Follow Up Boss includes its AI on every plan: smart summaries, suggested tasks and drafted replies you send yourself.

Both are strong inside the CRM. Neither one chases your lender or title company for you.

21X, formerly Structurely

21X answers and qualifies new leads by text, email and phone, then hands the hot ones to your team.

Its site still carries the Structurely name next to 21X and lists Follow Up Boss, BoomTown and HubSpot among the systems it works with. You can enter your number for a live demo call.

It is built for teams buying a lot of leads, and it does not publish its monthly price.
