Real estate brokerage Engel & Völkers Middle East has launched the Engel & Völkers Search app within ChatGPT. The launch transforms how clients discover and explore real estate opportunities. The company becomes the first UAE real estate brokerage to bring property search directly to ChatGPT.
The integration presents a more conversational way to search for property. As opposed to navigating multiple filters, search fields, and property platforms, users can simply describe what they are looking for. Within the conversation ChatGPT will then present relevant Engel & Völkers listings through structured search results, interactive maps and detailed property information.
The search enables users to specify requirements like location, budget, property type, number of bedrooms, preferred features, lifestyle priorities and investment objectives. As an example, a client could, request a family waterfront residence, a modern apartment close to central business districts, or a property with strong long-term investment potential. Users can then refine their preferences, contrast available options, and look at alternatives through follow-up questions.
The launch comes as AI rapidly reshapes how consumers search for information, compare products and make important decisions. Property discovery is increasingly edging towards more personalised, contextual conversations.
“AI is reshaping how clients discover, compare and evaluate property. This development allows us to offer a simpler and more intuitive starting point for the property journey while maintaining the trusted, personal advisory that defines Engel & Völkers.
“Our objective is not to replace the expertise and human understanding behind an important real estate decision. It is to use technology to remove friction, improve access to relevant information, and connect clients with the right opportunities more efficiently.
“By combining intelligent digital tools with strong local market knowledge, we can provide a more seamless, informed and personalised experience.”
Diana Dzaka Bico, Chief Marketing Officer, Engel & Völkers Middle East
In the UAE real estate sector conversational searching offers value. Buyers and investors often look at the market with financial, lifestyle and location requirements. AI-powered discovery enables these requirements to be expressed more naturally, assisting users to identify relevant opportunities more easily and efficiently.
The new search experience also creates an additional discovery channel for property owners and developers represented by Engel & Völkers.
