Who's it for?

Roof AI is for brokerages that want an MLS-aware AI assistant on their website to qualify intent and book appointments from existing traffic. SmartZip is for agents, teams, and brokerages that want predictive seller lead generation – identifying likely sellers and running targeted outreach to win more listings.

How does it work?

Roof AI engages visitors on your site, answers listing/buyer/seller questions, captures intent, and routes qualified leads or appointments into your workflow. SmartZip uses predictive algorithms and data analytics to identify likely sellers, then supports outreach via campaigns like direct mail and online ads (plus follow-up tools).

How is it priced?

Roof AI pricing is demo/quote-based for enterprise brokerages (no public rate card). SmartZip is also not fully transparent publicly, and third-party reviews indicate pricing typically varies by market/farm scope, with published references to a starting price (e.g., HousingWire cites a starting price and notes variability by area).

We chose Roof AI for its seamless integration...
“Consumer behavior and expectations have shifted, driven by the instant gratification model established by companies like Amazon. We chose Roof AI for its seamless integration with the MLS. When a consumer who values anonymity uses the chatbot to ask specific questions — like whether a house has electric or gas heating — the system pulls data from the MLS and provides immediate answers. This responsiveness builds trust and makes consumers more likely to engage with the brokerage.”
