TLDR: Epique Realty has been recognized with the prestigious 2025 Inman AI Award in the ‘Top Real Estate AI Startup’ category. The award celebrates Epique’s innovative, agent-centric model and its proprietary AI platform, Epique.ai, which is provided free to agents, driving significant growth and democratizing access to advanced technology in the real estate industry.
HOUSTON, TEXAS – October 24, 2025 – Epique Realty, a rapidly ascending force in the real estate sector, proudly announced today its win of the 2025 Inman AI Award, securing the coveted title of ‘Top Real Estate AI Startup.’ This esteemed recognition from Inman, a leading independent real estate news source, underscores Epique’s groundbreaking contributions to the industry through its proprietary artificial intelligence platform, Epique.ai.
The Inman AI Awards are dedicated to honoring companies and individuals who are at the forefront of leveraging artificial intelligence to revolutionize the real estate landscape. Epique Realty was specifically lauded for its innovative work that ‘stood out among an exceptional group of nominees,’ as noted by the Inman Awards Team. The company’s success is attributed to its unique ‘AI-in-our-DNA’ architecture, where its entire operational framework was built around AI from its inception, rather than retrofitting AI onto existing, outdated systems.
A cornerstone of Epique’s philosophy is ‘radical generosity,’ which translates into providing its powerful Epique.ai platform as a foundational right, free to all its agents. This approach aims to democratize success across the industry, contrasting with competitors who often monetize AI as a premium service. Janice Delcid, Co-Founder and CFO of Epique Realty, emphasized this vision, stating, “The Inman AI award is a profound honor that validates our entire agent-first model. From a financial and cultural perspective, our radical generosity is intentional. We proved that by investing in our agents first, providing AI, healthcare, and support for free, that we could build a more successful, sustainable, and equitable business for everyone. Epique’s win belongs to every agent who believed in that vision.”
Christopher Miller, Co-Founder and COO, further highlighted the human element of their technological advancements: “Winning the top AI Startup Award is incredible, and it highlights the human dimension of our technology. Our AI is only as powerful as the agents who use it. This award is a testament to our ‘high touch’ culture and our AIPRO certification program, which has empowered thousands of agents to confidently adopt AI. It’s a win for our entire Epique family and the supportive community we’ve built together.”
The impact of Epique’s AI-centric strategy has been substantial, leading to historic growth. In under a year, the brokerage expanded from 300 to over 4,000 agents across all 50 states. This explosive growth translated into a remarkable increase in sales volume, soaring from $117 million to over $4.2 billion in 2024. This success, which reportedly saves agents an average of $30,000 annually, also earned Epique a debut on the T360 Mega 1000, ranking #23 nationwide by agent count. Joshua Miller, Co-Founder and CEO, expressed gratitude, saying, “We are humbled and honored by this recognition from Inman.”
