As former real estate agents, we’re no strangers to the back-and-forth calls, emails, and late night texts it takes to get the deal done. We’ve been in those shoes and we know just how tough it can be. When you’re weighed down by administrative work, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s really at stake—the path to homeownership. That’s why we do what we do.
At Jointly, we’re tackling the wild inefficiencies that exist in real estate so agents can get back to doing what they were meant to do—educate, advise, and guide clients as they navigate one of life’s most monumental decisions and largest financial transactions.

Jointly is the crossroads of his intimate industry knowledge and his vision to overcome its technological shortcomings.
