the real estate agent just got a zero-commission rival. e-house's ai broker xiao xin opened full public testing in zhuhai on september 8, serving buyers and sellers with no commission, while compass pushed its ai assistant to 83,000 agents who have already generated over 97,000 conversations.
the commission model is being priced to zero somewhere.
Context
Verified source: Dayoo and CNR-linked Chinese reports (Sep 8 to 10, 2026) say E-House's AI broker Xiao Xin began full public testing in Zhuhai on Sep 8, with a no-commission model announced since May 27.
Verified source: Fortune (Sep 23, 2026) says Compass debuted an AI assistant to 83,000 real estate agents, and Compass's release (Jul 20, 2026) announced the AI Assistant.
The Sep 8 Zhuhai testing and the 83,000 agents match the sources. The Compass assistant launched Jul 20, not recently pushed. The 97,000 conversations were not seen in the excerpts read, so unsupported here, not refuted. 'Priced to zero somewhere' is the author's opinion.
