Emil Sedgh

Emil Sedgh is redefining the role of a CTO in real estate by bridging the gap between high-level engineering and the daily workflows of the modern agent. In 2025, Sedgh spearheaded the widespread adoption of “Lucy,” Rechat’s sophisticated AI assistant, which now provides measurable productivity gains for over 19,000 agents. By integrating machine learning with MLS data and marketing automation, Sedgh has transformed the digital assistant from a novelty into an essential tool for closing deals faster. His 2025 roadmap also featured two landmark launches: a first-of-its-kind Figma integration for rapid brokerage marketing and the “Agent Network,” a mobile-first tool designed to accelerate agent collaboration and deal-making.

A builder of both technology and culture, Sedgh focuses on creating tools that enhance, rather than replace, human relationships. His leadership has cultivated an agile development environment that prioritizes practical, real-world utility over technical complexity.

“In 2025, seeing the impact of Rechat’s AI assistant, Lucy, on over 19,000 agents was a particular highlight,” Sedgh notes. “Helping agents close deals faster and simplifying complex workflows demonstrates how technology can enhance human connection in real estate. Being able to turn bold ideas into practical tools that genuinely improve people’s work is what makes this career so fulfilling.”
