Clunky, opaque, inefficient… the process of buying and selling investment properties was badly in need of a rethink. Frustrated, Gregor Watson, founder of multiple financial and investment firms and a long-time investor in the real estate space, reached out to Gary Beasley to brainstorm. Gary had invaluable perspectives on technology and deep industry experience at various successful real estate, hospitality and tech companies and leading two companies through IPOs. They soon invited Rich Ford to the conversation. Rich had more than 20 years of M&A and capital raising experience, and was a pioneer in the single-family rental investing space.With their combined experience along with Silicon Valley’s top tech talent and investors, they built a vibrant marketplace where investing in real estate is as easy as investing in stocks.Innovation is a way of life.
