In a bold play to redefine how real estate is discovered on a global scale, World Property Markets — a portfolio company of Miami, FL-based World Property Ventures — has announced the development of a groundbreaking new real estate industry-focused AI search engine: WORLD PROPERTY SEARCH.
Slated for launch next year, WORLD PROPERTY SEARCH is being positioned as the world’s first AI-powered, multilingual global real estate listings search engine and “super-app” purpose-built for the property industry. The platform aims to globally index, map and aggregate more than 150 million active property listings each month, spanning over 10 million separate real estate websites worldwide across all major property types and languages.

“This is not just another listings site,” said company founder Michael Gerrity. “It’s the ‘search engine of search engines.’ Simply put, it will be a global search utility — a simple-to-use tool designed to dramatically reduce the friction, fragmentation, and cost of matching future buyers with sellers around the world.”
The platform will allow users — from first-time buyers to institutional investors — to search and engage with active listings globally or locally in their native language. It’s being designed with a clean, intuitive interface powered by advanced AI, enabling users to sift through massive volumes of fragmented listings data with ease and speed.
Gerrity emphasizes that the true innovation lies in what happens behind the scenes: for buyers, WORLD PROPERTY SEARCH will unify siloed property data across countries, platforms, and listing standards to deliver a seamless search experience; for sellers, it will function as a highly efficient digital “cyber hunting machine,” helping consumers discover and engage with their listings far more efficiently and cost-effectively. “Right now, real estate sellers worldwide — i.e., owners, agents, brokers, homebuilders, developers, landlords, banks, asset managers, and governments — collectively spend more than $500 billion a year globally to acquire customers,” Gerrity noted. “If we can cut that selling cost by even $100 billion, we’re unlocking a $10 billion annual revenue opportunity for ourselves.”
But the company’s ambitions don’t stop at property search. Gerrity envisions a platform that could eventually attract over 500 million monthly users, performing tens of billions of individual property searches each month — generating a colossal stream of real-time buyer demand-side search and engagement data that could be monetized through predictive analytics tools, enterprise APIs, and proprietary insights for the broader real estate, finance, and insurance industries.
The initiative builds on World Property Markets’ growing ecosystem of digital real estate platforms, including its listings syndication engine GLOBAL LISTINGS, which currently onboards, hosts and promotes more than 3.3 million properties in 112 countries, and its emerging AI mortgage bidding platform Sentient Mortgage.
WORLD PROPERTY SEARCH represents another milestone in World Property Ventures broader mission to digitize, modernize and streamline the $654 trillion global property market, by building new AI-powered digital market infrastructure to one of the world’s most fragmented and archaic industries.
“Our vision for WORLD PROPERTY SEARCH is to become the future ‘Google of real estate search,'” Gerrity said. “A single and dominant search platform that makes property discovery so much easier and faster for all the world’s real estate market participants.”
