Top Real Estate Startups

SimpleShowing, Inc. -

Despite a huge increase in mortgage rates in 2022, real estate tech startups continue to grow and thrive within the larger "proptech" space.

Real estate startup funding continues to increase, reaching its highest number in 2021. At the same time, there is an emerging number of startups building platforms for real estate investment, mortgage tech, lending products and marketplaces.
