Our take

Established in 2021, Courted is a real estate firm with a mission to assist agents in expanding their professional networks. The company provides data-backed profiles to facilitate agent discovery and connections, enhancing the process of referrals and team development. Courted is currently developing a matching algorithm to further aid agents in finding the most suitable business partners to foster their professional growth.

In the evolving landscape where independent research by home buyers is on the rise and disruptive models like those offered by Redfin and REX Real Estate challenge traditional commission structures, the future role of real estate agents is a topic of debate. Despite this, Courted places a significant bet on the enduring relevance of real estate agents. While new tech startups are introducing innovations in real estate practices, the essential qualities of agents, such as market understanding and negotiation skills, remain highly valued.

CEO Sean Soderstrom's confidence in Courted's concept is underscored by his experience in scaling operations at the real estate giant Compass, where he managed 40 Compass offices across the US. With an operational presence already established in Miami, Courted's strategic positioning reflects a bold move in an industry ripe for new developments.
