I'm Andrew Flachner — an entrepreneur in residential real-estate technology and the co-founder and CEO of 📝RealScout. I started the company in 2012 as its first designer, chasing pixel perfection before we even knew we had a business, and I returned to the CEO seat in January 2025 to lead its next chapter. The thing I've believed the whole way through is simple: technology should make a good agent's judgment more valuable, not commoditize it away. The portals optimize for buyers who don't yet have an agent; we build for the agent already working an active buyer.

That conviction runs through everything in this library. RealScout equips more than 100,000 real estate professionals with collaborative search, lead nurture, and analytics. 📝The Buyer Graph pools buyer-search data across brokerages so an agent can show a seller exactly how much demand is in the market right now. 📝RealScout Exclusives gives brokerages a controlled home for their private listings. The honest test of all of it isn't applause — it's whether someone pulls out a credit card.

I also spend a lot of time getting this industry on the record. Through 📝Playmakers, the live interview series I host, I sit down with the playmakers actually shaping real estate's biggest moves — founders, brokerage chiefs, the leadership at NAR, Zillow, and RE/MAX — and ask the questions the rest of us are thinking. It's the same instinct that's earned recognition like Forbes 30 Under 30 and the Swanepoel Power 200: I want to make sense of the fast-moving collision between technology and real estate — the field of 📝PropTech — out loud, where everyone can learn from it.

This library is my external brain — the companies, the products, the people, and the ideas that make up how I see this industry, captured here so the thinking compounds.
