The best part? PropStream still offers the same robust library of filters and Lead Lists, but now you can search immediately without manually exploring various filter combinations (unless you want to).

Let’s explore this enhancement in full.

Key Benefits of AI Search

With AI Search, you can:

Describe properties in plain language instead of learning every available filter.
List stack in a fraction of the time.
See exactly how AI interpreted your request before and after each search.
Refine searches naturally through conversation.
Search hands-free using voice input.
Resume your most recent search when you return.

Search the Way You Naturally Think

Ai Search allows you to search in plain language

Instead of manually selecting your filters, AI Search lets you search the way you'd explain an ideal lead to a colleague.

For example, you could say:

Find absentee owners with at least 50% equity in Phoenix.
Show me vacant tax-delinquent properties headed to auction in Los Angeles.
Find pre-foreclosures in Dallas with high equity.

AI Search translates your request into the same trusted Property Search filters that PropStream users already rely on every day. It doesn't introduce new datasets or hidden criteria—it simply makes the existing search experience faster and easier to use.

Built for New and Experienced Users

AI Search is available to all PropStream subscribers, regardless of plan tier.

So, whether you're brand new to PropStream or a seasoned investor, AI Search helps you list stack for effective searches faster—without the learning curve!

For newer users, it removes the need to learn which filters exist or how they work together. For experienced users, it dramatically reduces the number of clicks needed to create complex searches.

Type or Speak Your Search

AI Search supports both text and voice input.

Type

Use natural language to search for properties using AI Search in PropStream

The search bar shows a prompt with guidance on what to enter.
Users type a request in natural language (e.g., senior owners with 50% or more equity in San Francisco).
An "x" clears the field, allowing you to resubmit your prompt.
Submitting via the AI Search button or Enter opens a chat panel attached to the search bar.
Submissions are limited to 160 words max. The input area remains a fixed size during typing, and longer entries will truncate when focus is lost.
Dedicated expand and collapse controls allow you to easily open and close the chat panel. Chat history is preserved and reappears when expanded.
Users can keep the conversation going after filters are applied and close the panel without affecting the filters.

Voice

Look for the microphone icon to start a voice conversation, follow the live listening and response indicators, and expand the view anytime to see the full transcript.

A microphone icon starts a spoken conversation that follows the same conversational flow as text.
Interface states: "Listening…" before speech, a live waveform while the user speaks, and "AI is responding…" when AI replies.
Users can mute their mic or mute AI's voice responses independently.
Expanding shows the full transcript and conversation history.

AI That Asks Questions Instead of Guessing

AI Search asks clarifying questions instead of guessing - in AI Search

Real estate searches are often nuanced.

If your request isn't specific enough, AI Search won't make assumptions. Instead, it asks clarifying questions before applying filters.

For example, if you ask for "distressed properties in Los Angeles," AI Search may ask which distress categories you want to include, such as:

Pre-Foreclosures
Auctions
Bank Owned
Vacant
Tax Delinquent
Liens
Bankruptcy
Divorce

Similarly, if you search for a location with multiple possibilities (e.g., a city name that exists in several states), AI Search asks which one you mean before continuing.

Complete Transparency Into Every Search

Transparency is Every search vis AI Search in PropStream

One of AI Search's biggest advantages is that nothing happens behind the scenes.

Before running a search, AI Search summarizes how it interpreted your request.

After the search runs, it explains exactly which filters were applied and why. Those filters also appear in the standard Search Filters panel, where you can review, edit, or remove any of them just as if you had configured them manually.

This means you always remain in control of your search.

Everything You Already Love About Property Search Stays the Same

AI Search is designed to enhance Property Search—not replace it.

Location Search remains the default search mode, and users can switch between Location Search and AI Search at any time using the toggle beside the search bar. Existing searches, Map View, Saved Searches, exports, Property Details, manual filtering, and all existing Property Search functionality continue to work exactly as they always have.

Toggle between Location Search and Ai Search
In other words, AI Search is an optional, conversational layer built on top of the powerful search engine that PropStream users already trust.

Start Searching Smarter with AI Search!

Whether you're looking for motivated sellers, off-market opportunities, distressed properties, or your next investment deal, AI Search helps you get there faster by eliminating the manual work of inputting filters one by one for complex searches.

Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is AI Search?

A new way to search PropStream using everyday language. Describe the kind of property you're looking for — by typing or speaking — and AI Search sets the Property Search filters for you.

Do I have to use AI Search?

No. Location Search remains the default and works exactly as it always has. AI Search is a mode you switch to when you want to use it.

How do I turn on AI Search?

Use the toggle next to the Property Search bar to switch from Location Search to AI Search. Switch back the same way, any time.

Is it included in my plan?

Yes. AI Search is available to all PropStream subscribers.

Can it find things that regular searches can't?

No — and that's intentional. AI Search uses PropStream's existing Property Search filters. It doesn't add new data or filter types; it makes the ones you already have apply faster.

How do I know what it actually searched for?

AI Search tells you. It summarizes how it interpreted your request before running the search, explains which filters it applied and why afterward, and populates the Search Filters panel so you can see every filter in full.

Can I change the filters it picks?

Yes. Applied filters behave exactly like the ones you set manually — review, edit, or remove any of them. You can also keep talking to AI Search to refine the search further.

What if my request is vague?

AI Search asks follow-up questions instead of guessing. For example, if you ask for "distressed properties in Los Angeles," it will ask which distress categories you mean before searching.

How does voice search work?

Tap the microphone icon and describe what you're looking for out loud. AI Search responds by voice, and you can mute your mic or its responses at any point. Expand the panel to read the full conversation.

Is there a limit on how much I can type?

Requests are capped at 160 words. If you go over, AI Search will ask you to shorten it—and it can gather any extra details through follow-up questions instead.

Will it remember my last search?

When you return, AI Search offers to pick up your most recent search. Conversation history is saved to the browser you're using, so it won't carry over to a different device or browser.

What if AI Search isn't working?

You'll get a clear message with the option to try again, and Location Search is always available as an alternative.
