Rama Dwarapudi, Founder of RealSearch

Proptech Australia member RealSearch has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the Google Maps Platform Awards 2025, standing out among thousands of organisations worldwide that build on the Google Maps platform.

The recognition highlights RealSearch’s unique combination of AI-driven search with immersive 3D aerial maps, interactive floor plans and suburb insights to help Australians make smarter property decisions.

“This acknowledgement from Google is a proud milestone for our team and partners,” said Rama Dwarapudi, Founder of RealSearch. “We’re proving that when you blend AI with intuitive spatial experiences, you can remove friction from the property journey for buyers, sellers, investors and agents.”

RealSearch’s platform invites users to explore neighbourhoods from above, as if flying over them and compare properties with interactive floor plans.

For agents and developers, the tools support more engaging campaigns and informed

conversations with clients.

The company views this recognition as a starting point for deeper industry collaboration.

It is focusing on:

• Immersive 3D aerial suburb exploration.

• AI-powered discovery and neighbourhood insights.

• Interactive property floor plans and comparisons.
