We’re thrilled to share that the National Association of REALTORS®’ REACH technology growth program has been named PropTech Outlook’s 2024 Accelerator of the Year! This award reinforces the vital role REACH plays in driving innovation in real estate and related industries.
Created by Second Century Ventures, NAR’s strategic investment arm, REACH is the most active venture fund in global real estate technology. With the support of our 1.5 million members and industry leaders across residential and commercial real estate, REACH is helping to shape the future of our industry.
“Being recognized as 2024 Accelerator of the Year highlights how far REACH has come since our first U.S. program in 2013,” said Ashley Stinton, managing partner of NAR REACH. “We’ve built a community of over 250 innovative technology companies, and this award is a testament to the incredible partnerships and collaborative efforts transforming real estate worldwide.”
In 2024 alone, REACH welcomed 55 new companies across seven global programs, offering solutions in building automation, decarbonization, brokerage, finance and banking, property management, data analytics, and more. As one of the world’s largest industries, real estate innovation not only impacts our members but also drives economic growth and creates jobs.
Here at the Sacramento Association of REALTORS® (SAR), we recognize the critical role technology plays in shaping the future of real estate. We’re proud to support NAR’s REACH program and its mission to foster innovation that benefits REALTORS®, homeowners, and communities alike. By leveraging these advancements, SAR aims to empower our members with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in an evolving industry.
Currently, REACH operates two programs in the U.S. – one focused on residential real estate and the other on commercial – as well as programs in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Latin America, and Israel. Each program is tailored to the unique opportunities and needs of its region, offering startups mentorship, industry expertise, and exposure through Demo Days and exclusive partner events.
“Our co-investment partnership with Propertymark and TDS in the UK has been a game changer, allowing us to provide even more support for our startups,” said Natasha Terinova, managing partner of REACH UK. “The beauty of REACH is that we can scale startups globally while providing targeted, local support where it’s needed most.”
