Thank You! The Value of a Community

To all the RealtyShares early adopters, the peer influencers, the lucky ones who stumbled upon our platform because they understood the value of real estate and were looking for a way to gain access, thank you!

Last month we announced that the RealtyShares community had invested $200 million across more than 400 deals. As our Founder and CEO Nav Athwal said in his blog post, this growth is largely due to an experienced team and our willingness to fully embrace the opportunity to disrupt an industry. While execution has been vital in making us one of the leading online marketplaces for real estate investing, it has been the forward-thinking developers, operators and investors that have allowed us to reach this milestone.

We have so many fantastic investors, who come to RealtyShares with different backgrounds and investment experience, all looking to tap into opportunities in real estate. Yahoo! Finance spoke with Christy Liu and Bloomberg spoke with Jeff Bullian, both serving as fantastic ambassadors for our platform and community.

Having raised $200 million, we’ve proven there is an appetite for the type of access we provide. To keep growing this curated marketplace, we must challenge ourselves by only working with the best sponsors, giving people the ability to invest through IRAs and scaling our technology to offer more deals.

August was one of our most active months on record. The community raised $9 million for projects in a single week and more than 4,500 new investors registered on the site. Welcoming all the new folks was our vibrant investor relations team, lead by Director of Investment Relations Amy Kirsch and Michael Binder.
