The technology-enabled brokerage provides an end-to-end platform that empowers its residential real estate agents to deliver exceptional service to seller and buyer clients.

Reffkin ran 50 marathons in 50 states to raise $1 million dollars for charities — including for America Needs You, the non-profit he founded to serve young people living below the poverty line who are the first in their families to go to college.
Reffkin is donating all of his proceeds from his new book, No One Succeeds Alone, to nonprofits that help young people realize their dreams.
Reffkin worked at McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, and as a White House Fellow.
