Top Real Estate Companies in 2022
It can seem like there are endless real estate companies out there which can make finding the best real estate company for you more challenging, and they all have various specialities. This article will segment our top real estate companies in development, sales and marketing, brokerage, property management, and other specialist areas.
Brokerage
Compass
Compass first launched as an apartment rental site called Urban Compass in 2012. It was co-founded by Reffkin and serial tech entrepreneur Ori Allon - they are aiming to build a brokerage with the valuation of a tech giant. Compass’ strategy has been to develop what its chief technology officer Joseph Sirosh describes as an “operating system” for the antiquated real estate industry.
Compass differentiates itself from other brokerages with tech such as bespoke customer relationship management tools that use predictive A.I. to tell agents who and when to target. They also use computer vision and machine learning to examine pictures of your home and tell you what upgrades you need to make to increase the sales value. Additionally, they have a slick smartphone app that lets an agent achieve many different things such as - create customized video clips for social media to help one client sell their home, send a bottle of champagne to another happy customer, and generate and send itineraries for the next day’s home tour - all in minutes.
