Remodeled.AI - review & thoughts

by Martin Goetzinger on Aug 21 2025
As I have written about here and here, we are going to see rapid shifts in how people buy, sell, and even remodel homes due to advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain technologies that democratize old processes that were either highly specialized or laborious to complete. HIGH LEVEL: Company: Remodeled.AI Industries Impacted: Interior Designers, Realtors, Architects, Home Remodelers, DIYers, Writers, Photo Editing Pricing: monthly subscriptions with various package levels Quick Take: Remodeled.AI democratizes home design to help home owners visualize renovations and staging very quickly. Realtors should consider adding this to how they work with clients to provide advanced value in buying an selling a home: Remodeling Virtual Staging Photo Clean Detailed Property Descriptions For those who want to DIY - become your own designer! Remodeled.AI is a new design tool aided by AI that democratizes design through the use of sophisticated machine learning (ML) algorithms to turn your average living room into a Pinterest-worthy masterpiece with just a few clicks. Users can upload photos of their spaces, choose from various design styles, and watch as their rooms are transformed into stunning visualizations. Do you want to see how that avocado green paint will look in your living room? Upload your photo to Remodeled.AI and voilà! No more guessing if you’ll love it or end up regretting it like that time you tried to cut your own bangs. Above is an example of a current room (on the left) and the Remodeled.AI generated idea.  What is really fun is the slider bar that allows you to see the impact across the entire room and compare the before and after side-by-side.   Why realtors should take note: Traditionally, realtors have played the role of matchmakers between buyers and homes. However, as I have written, the entire real estate industry is about to be modernized with blockchain tokenizing every asset and finance being offered instantaneously.  With a platform like Remodeled AI, realtors could offer their clients a new set of advanced services to better market a home:   Fix Pictures: How many times have you looked at a real estate listing and thought to yourself - wow, I can't believe they left those dishes out or a blanked thrown to the side of a couch?  With Remodeled.AI's 'Clean' feature it is easy to remove a poorly placed blanket or pillow with a few clicks.  (NOTE: there are many other solutions that offer this such as Adobe's ]Generative Fill capabilities across the suite of their design solutions.) Detailed Property Descriptions: While not part of the 'design' aspects of Remodeled.AI's primary use case, a secondary use case is the Detailed Property Descriptions capability which creates compelling property descriptions by analyzing property images - automatically! Cost-Effective Staging: Virtual staging can save homeowners thousands of dollars. Instead of staging a home with costly rented furniture, Remodeled.AI could do it. Plus, if you don’t like something, you can change it without worrying about offending anyone. Empowerment: With Remodeled AI, you can explore styles and make decisions on your own time -day or night.   Does Remodeled.AI have a future? YES - Remodeled.AI exemplifies how technology can enhance creativity and accessibility in interior design. It represents a shift towards more personalized and efficient home renovation experiences, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to reimagine their space. As AI continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovative solutions that will further transform our interactions with our environments.

Real Estate Agents Are Finished: AI + Blockchain Just Made Buying a Home as Easy as Ordering on Amazon

by Martin Goetzinger on Jan 13 2025
Real estate agents are on their way out, and AI coupled with blockchain is paving the way for a revolution. Imagine listing your home in minutes with AI-generated, legally compliant listings, booking professional photography, and getting a competitive price based on real-time market data—all without a commission-hungry realtor. Buyers schedule showings through your calendar, access your home via smart locks, and submit instant offers that AI reviews against your preferences. Blockchain-powered smart contracts handle the rest, from tamper-proof listings to fraud-free closings, saving you thousands (think $30,000 on a $500K home). “The real estate industry has been coasting on outdated practices for too long,” says Elon Musk. Welcome to the future: click, buy, move—no agents, no nonsense.
