Our take

The real estate industry was initially slow to get on the tech-drive, but the last few years have seen a groundswell of demand from professionals for tools that allow them to save time and labor doing the “background” work that leads to closing transactions. Perchwell’s end-to-end workflow platform capitalises on this.

Its services allow real estate agents, mortgage brokers and multiple listing services (MLSs) to more easily manage distributed data, access market research and work with clients via one API. Perchwell launched in 2015 and showed encouraging growth in New York City, eventually winning the custom of the Real Estate Board of New York, as well as major private companies like Sotheby’s.

Founded in New York, Perchwell received $25 million from Multiple Listing Service company REcolorado in 2024, after expanding the former's customer base to REcolorado clients in 2022. The aim for Perchwell now is accelerating the growth of its customer base, whilst developing its AI data and workflow capabilities for real estate agents.
