AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, October 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Rechat, the Operating System and Super App for Real Estate, has announced the appointment of Audie Chamberlain as Chief Industry Officer—a newly created position on the company’s executive team, effective immediately.
In this expanded capacity, Chamberlain will oversee brand strategy, communications, and partnerships while broadening Rechat’s connections with the industry’s largest brokerage networks and coaching organizations. His mandate includes launching the company’s brand champions and creator program, producing original industry research, and rolling out Rechat Experiences—a series of events designed for industry leaders.
“Audie has been instrumental in how the market sees Rechat,” said Shayan Hamidi, CEO of Rechat. “The real estate industry is experiencing unprecedented consolidation across brokerages, teams, MLSs and technology. This new role will help us continue to lead through these changes.”
Throughout 2026, Chamberlain translated Rechat’s rapid product innovation into a clear industry narrative about the future direction of real estate technology. Previously serving as Vice President of Strategic Growth and Communications, he worked across brand, communications, go-to-market strategy, and enterprise partnerships, helping secure and position major launches and collaborations with Follow Up Boss, Figma, Canva, SkySlope, The Agency, Local Logic, and HomeServices of America.
“I am honored to step into this role at a defining moment for Rechat and for the real estate industry,” Chamberlain said. “Our members have shown what happens when an enterprise brokerage or high-performance team runs on one platform, one app, one tab. Rechat is the iPhone of real estate, and building deeper relationships with the industry is my top priority.”
Chamberlain has led the campaigns and launches that shaped the company’s identity, including Rechat Websites, the Hey Lucy voice AI campaign, the Rechat App Platform and App Store, the House of Rechat online community, and the Rechat MCP Server—which brought the award-winning app into Claude and ChatGPT.
His industry recognition includes being named a 2026 Inman Marketing All-Star and a RISMedia Real Estate Newsmaker, in addition to serving on Inman’s advisory board.
Since 2025, Rechat and its leadership have accumulated more than 25 awards and honors, including the 2025 Inman Innovator Company of the Year, Inman’s AI Award for Best AI-Powered Platform, the 2026 HousingWire Tech100, a finalist position for Inman’s Most Innovative Marketing Solution for Rechat Studio, and a Webby Award nomination in Marketing, Analytics and Campaign Management—placing among the top of more than 13,000 entries. The company has doubled revenue year over year and now serves more than 200 brokerages, including SERHANT., The Agency, and HomeServices of America.
Chamberlain brings a rare breadth of experience to the role, having worked on every side of the real estate business. He spent six years at Realtor.com as Director of Social Marketing, served as VP of Marketing at a luxury brokerage in Beverly Hills, and holds a real estate license. Through Lion & Orb—the growth marketing and public relations firm he founded—he counted Zillow among his clients and has built campaigns for the country’s leading luxury brokerages, LeadingRE, Luxury Portfolio International, and numerous top proptech companies.
