It may be summer, but the RealtyShares deal team has brought some extra heat this July and the media is starting to notice as more and more deals stream onto our platform.

More deals means more opportunities, and our community has been funding it all so far including multi-family properties in Jacksonville and Arlington. Anthony Dagati and Brian Esquivel were both quoted, giving a bit of insight into what they look for in these markets. The Las Vegas Business Press also took some time to speak with Javier Benson about RealtyShares and our role in the Rocksprings Plaza retail center. These three deals are at the core of what has made our platform so successful — using technology to bring together investors for projects that will make an impact at a local level.

Bisnow sat down with our CEO Nav Athwal to talk about The Rise of RealtyShares, recounting a brainstorming session in front of a whiteboard in Nav’s living room “with an idea that was slowly gathering steam.” Nav also took to Forbes to speak out against some misconceptions around marketplace lending.

RealtyShares was featured on the Lendit Blog as one of the top Fintech companies to follow, so check us out at @RealtyShares.
