E128 — Biju Ashokan (CEO, Radius): AI-native operating system for real estate brokers
Thu Jan 22 2026
In this episode of Fireside with a VC, I sit down with Biju Ashokan, CEO of Radius, to unpack how AI and automation are reshaping the real estate agent workflow—from lead to close. We discuss:
· How AI and automation can help agents buy or sell five times more properties per year (in the right operating model).
· What an “always-on” assistant looks like: proactively sourcing inventory, matching buyers and sellers, drafting complex documents, and handling back office tasks—so agents can spend more time on relationships and closing.
· What is changing in the US real estate and brokerage industry.
· Why the number of agents may decrease, while productivity and income per agent may rise.
