Confidential - Do Not Distribute
The PropChain One-Liner
Predictive Intelligence
PropChain predicts where the real estate market is going - not where it's been.
Unified Data Platform
We ingest MLS, municipal, LiDAR, and curb-level imagery to forecast pricing, risk, and timing.
AI-Powered Precision
Real-time, AI-powered precision for every property decision.
PropChain is a PropTech 3.0, AI-first, mobile-centric real estate platform that unifies discovery, valuation, and eventually closing into one guided workflow for buyers, sellers, homeowners, small investors, and real estate pros. Instead of static listings, PropChain adds a real-time predictive layer so users can discover, analyze, and act in one place.
The Problem
Real estate decisions are made with lagging information
Backward-Looking Data
- Listings show only the past
- Market timing is opaque
- Municipal, environmental, and curb-level risk data are fragmented
- Professionals rely on anecdotes instead of predictive intelligence
Costly Impact
- Homebuyers overpay or mistime purchases
- Agents struggle to advise with confidence
- Investors cannot model risk fast enough
- Sellers enter the market too early or too late
The real estate industry operates with opaque, slow workflows that leave every stakeholder—from first-time buyers to institutional investors—making critical decisions without forward-looking intelligence.
