Chris McGoldrick

Chris McGoldrick demonstrated the full power of entrepreneurial achievement and technological foresight in 2025 by managing the successful acquisition of his AI company, ListAssist, by Inside Real Estate. This acquisition culminated a three-year journey that began in New Zealand and rapidly positioned his AI solutions for the U.S. market. Now as head of AI Innovation, McGoldrick forged a powerhouse partnership, immediately working with the product team to develop and launch HomeSearch AI in August.

HomeSearch AI is a revolutionary search experience live on thousands of real estate websites, including those of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, John L. Scott and REMAX Advantage. It leverages AI and computer vision to allow consumers to search using natural language, delivering a more intuitive and personalized experience. This innovation not only keeps clients engaged but also helps agents re-engage their databases by providing smarter, high-converting search alerts.

McGoldrick, who emphasizes “Proof Over Promises” in the noisy AI space, is committed to delivering tangible value. He sees “the people I’ve met, the relationships I’ve built” as the most rewarding part of his career, and adds that it’s “very rewarding helping to deliver real value through AI.”
