MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — (Marketwired) — 02/09/15 — RealScout, the agent-branded client conversion platform that helps agents sell more homes, announced today that early Trulia employee Pierre Calzadilla will join the company as Director of Strategic Partnerships. He will report directly to RealScout CEO Andrew Flachner.
Pierre joins the team at RealScout after more than eight years at Trulia, where he was instrumental in the company–s growth. He held numerous management positions during his tenure with Trulia, including Senior Manager for Trulia Rentals, Manager of Strategic Partnerships and Manager of Sales Training and Development. His leadership has been key in building teams and processes that help drive Trulia–s Marketplace revenue.
“I can–t imagine a better person to lead the expansion of our sales team. Having contributed to Trulia–s hyper-growth from the very early days, Pierre knows how to think big and build for the long term,” said RealScout CEO Andrew Flachner.
“The real estate industry needs more companies that provide value to the broker, agent and consumer relationships,” says Pierre. “Too often, technology startups are focused on cutting someone out of that equation. What inspired me to join RealScout is its focus on creating value for all parties in a home buying transaction. The profound impact RealScout has on agents and brokers who adopt their technology is a testament to the opportunity that lies ahead.”
For agents in today–s market, generating leads is rarely the bottleneck — instead, many agents struggle to convert the leads they generate into commission-generating homeowners. RealScout–s MLS-based, enhanced listing data enables agents to provide a powerful hyper-local, collaborative search experience to their home buying clients. For example, in San Francisco, clients can search by proximity to Google Shuttle stops and the best public schools — agents, with visibility into search behavior, can further engage their clients through natural language emails and informed personal consultation. With Pierre–s expertise and leadership, RealScout is poised to continue its growth as a client conversion platform for residential real estate agents.
The RealScout platform is available to individual agents as well as brokerage customers.
