In our latest real estate tech entrepreneur interview, we’re speaking with the founder and CEO at Buzz4Agent, Rob Connolly.

Without further ado…

What do you do?

I am the founder at Buzz4Agent.com. We are a company I launched in San Diego, California, back in April of 2015. As of today, we are a team of nine full-time team members. It has been quite the journey so far!

What problem does your product/service solve?

Home For Sale Real Estate Sign in Front of Beautiful New House.

Today, when someone sees a for sale sign at a listing and would like property info, they tend to go to different apps or websites. If there is a single roadblock on that listing, the lead is dead. With Buzz4Agent, we connect people wanting property information directly with our real estate agents instantly! It gives our agents the opportunity to reach out and make that valuable connection.

What are you most excited about right now?

On a personal note, I am really excited about the fact my wife and I are expecting our second daughter. I am also a tad bit terrified that I will be living in a house full of girls. It should be a lot of fun though!

What’s next for you?

We are working on a way to help real estate agents keep themselves accountable. I feel like for a lot of agents right now, it’s relatively easy to get a home sold. The market is pretty hot across the board. If you put the house on the MLS and it’s priced appropriately, it should sell in a few weeks. Which is great for everyone, unfortunately, I have been around long enough to remember the not so great times. So we want to help agents develop positive habits that will ensure when tough times come, they are prepared and have a business pipeline that will keep them ahead of the game.

What’s a cause you’re passionate about and why?

Our really good friend works for The Challenged Athletes Foundation in San Diego. They provide physically challenged people with the tools they need to pursue active and healthy lifestyles. The programs their foundations put on are truly amazing. The stories of the people they work with really put your daily challenges in perspective. They are a super awesome foundation!
