reAlpha Mortgage Enhances AI-Assisted Borrower Engagement and Lead Management Platform for Loan Officers
Customized platform centralizes consumer inquiries, automates borrower follow-up and helps connect prospective homebuyers with appropriately licensed Loan Officers
DUBLIN, Ohio, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — reAlpha Tech Corp. (Nasdaq: AIRE) (“reAlpha” or the “Company”), an AI-powered real estate technology company, today announced that reAlpha Mortgage, its mortgage division, has enhanced its borrower engagement and lead management platform with customized automation workflows and AI-assisted capabilities designed to centralize consumer inquiries, automate routine follow-up and help connect prospective homebuyers with appropriately licensed Loan Officers (“LOs”).
The enhanced platform supports consumer inquiries generated through digital marketing campaigns, reAlpha Realty, the Company’s website and other referral channels. Using customized automation workflows and AI-assisted communications, it engages prospective borrowers through text and voice, coordinates follow-up and appointment scheduling, and routes eligible opportunities to LOs based on applicable licensing and availability.
For certain consumer inquiries, the platform can provide real-time opportunity notifications and facilitate a direct connection between a prospective borrower and an eligible LO. If the borrower is not promptly connected, the platform can automatically reassign the opportunity to support timely follow-up. It can also re-engage prospective borrowers who are not immediately ready to proceed, helping reAlpha Mortgage maintain communication throughout a longer homebuying decision process. An industry survey found that 78% of borrowers shop only one or two options before choosing a lender,1 underscoring the importance of timely and consistent engagement during the early stages of the mortgage process.
Participating LOs have access to individual customer relationship management environments with integrated marketing automation and business development tools. These environments enable LOs to manage company-provided opportunities and their own customer relationships through a single platform, bringing borrower communications, appointment scheduling, opportunity management and follow-up into a more unified operating environment.
In an initial 15-day comparison of consumer inquiries before and after the platform’s launch, average time to contact decreased by approximately 75%, from four minutes to approximately one minute. Appointments booked with prospective borrowers increased by approximately 60% over the same comparison period. These results are preliminary and based on a limited initial sample. These results may not be indicative of results over a longer period of time.
“Today’s homebuyers expect timely, personalized communication from the moment they express interest,” said Jamie Cavanaugh, Chief Executive Officer of reAlpha Mortgage. “Mortgage is ultimately a people business, and technology should enhance the relationship between borrowers and licensed loan officers. We believe this platform helps us deliver a more responsive and consistent experience while allowing our LOs to spend more time providing trusted guidance and less time managing routine administrative tasks.”
The platform also creates a more direct connection between consumer inquiries generated through reAlpha Realty and reAlpha Mortgage’s licensed LO network. Where appropriate, and subject to applicable requirements and consumer choice, it can facilitate introductions between prospective homebuyers and eligible LOs, creating potential additional opportunities for reAlpha to serve customers across its real estate and mortgage businesses.
