About the founder
I spent 15+ years as a licensed real estate agent and investor. I've closed over 1,000+ transactions, sold $100M+ in properties, flipped 100+ homes, built ground-up new construction, wholesaled hundreds of properties, and ran a real estate team managing multiple agents. I understand the real estate industry from every angle — buyer, seller, agent, investor, and team leader.
I've also built lead-generating real estate software used by thousands of investors and agents, and launched 500+ real estate websites for customers across the country. So when we build your site, we're not guessing at what real estate leads look like or what makes an agent's phone ring.
We're not just another "website company" selling websites. We have deep industry knowledge and expertise — and we put that into every real estate website we build.
