Eric Elfman, the newly appointed CEO of MoxiWorks, is charting a bold course for disruption in the real estate technology sector. With his appointment in June, Elfman aims to challenge industry complacency by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and reinforcing a customer-centric approach.

Elfman, speaking to Real Estate News, criticized many vendors for resting on their laurels in the “old world” of real estate tech. He believes the industry, including MoxiWorks, is “ripe for disruption.”

With a background in fast-paced tech startups, Elfman sees untapped opportunities in leveraging AI to process the industry’s vast data reserves. “We are hiring data scientists to begin crawling through our data to figure out where the best, highest value, earliest use of AI will be for us,” he stated.

Revamping the MoxiWorks Platform

Under Elfman’s leadership, MoxiWorks is revamping its platform to adapt to the “new reality for agents.” This involves rethinking the economics for brokerages and agents, especially in light of the NAR’s $418 million settlement. The new platform is expected to launch at the end of the year, with full availability by next summer.

Startup Perspective in Proptech

Elfman brings an entrepreneurial drive to MoxiWorks, a trait honed over 25 years of leading companies he founded. He aims to inject this dynamism into an industry he claims is “totally disruptable.” He argues that as B2B companies mature, they often prioritize profitability over innovation, a trend he intends to reverse.

AI: The Key to Untapped Data

Elfman sees real estate as lagging behind other content-rich markets in utilizing AI. “What you won’t see from MoxiWorks is marketing-speak about AI with no teeth. We will announce our strategy when we have something meaningful for the market,” he assured.

Competing in a Changing Market

Elfman’s vision for MoxiWorks is to focus on helping agents secure listings. “If MoxiWorks were a factory, the single widget that we produce is a listing for an agent,” he explained. This strategy involves taking on competitors to expand market share and offering advanced capabilities against both established and emerging players.
