Calgary’s Virtuo, the AI-powered platform transforming the homeownership journey, has announced a strategic partnership with Royal LePage Benchmark, Alberta’s largest Royal LePage franchise.
The partnership will equip Benchmark’s more than 200 agents with Virtuo’s all-in-one platform designed to streamline operations, bolster client relationships, and deliver a seamless post-sale experience. It’s a significant move for both companies—one that underscores a shared commitment to using technology to enhance, not replace, the personal touch in real estate.
“We are always looking for ways to support our agents in providing an exceptional client experience,” said Corinne Lyall, Broker and Owner of Royal LePage Benchmark. “Virtuo gives our agents instant access to all brokerage tools in one platform while delivering a differentiated experience to their clients. This partnership is an investment in our agents and their success.”
Founded in Calgary, Virtuo has served more than 30,000 homebuyers and is known for combining AI with human-led service. Its HomieAI™ assistant delivers personalized, 24/7 insights tailored to individual agents, homes, and brokerage data—going far beyond generic chatbots.
“Our collaboration with Royal LePage Benchmark marks a pivotal moment in real estate innovation,” said Virtuo CEO and co-founder Casey Kachur. “By leveraging AI to augment the personal touch, we’re setting a new standard for real estate professionals, not just improving the agent and client experience—we’re redefining it.”
The announcement follows Virtuo’s $3.5 million seed round in late 2023, led by ATB Private Equity and TELUS Ventures, as the company continues to expand its reach and impact in the Canadian real estate sector.
Founded in 1978, Royal LePage Benchmark has built a reputation for excellence in Alberta’s real estate market and continues to invest in tools that help its agents stand out.
With this new partnership, Benchmark agents will offer a branded, tech-enhanced experience that begins the moment a client goes under contract—and extends far beyond closing day.
