- A platform that promises to accelerate development time.
- A user-friendly software solution for commercial appraisers.
- A marketplace that enables more people to invest in real estate.
These are among the nine innovations that will be the focus of the REACH Commercial Program 2021. The REACH program identifies technology companies in commercial and residential real estate with high growth potential. Through education, mentoring and market presence, the program helps these companies introduce their products in real estate and related industries. By investing in new and emerging companies through REACH, Second Century Ventures – the strategic investment arm of the National Association of REALTORS® – is helping technology companies gain access to the industry in ways that are beneficial and non-disruptive to REALTORS®.
SCV founded REACH in 2013 and has been represented by REACH Commercial since 2019. REACH Commercial advances technologies that affect all aspects of commercial real estate and gives REALTORS® the opportunity to step into the ground floor with platforms that could radically change the way companies and investors buy, rent, work and live in Commercial real estate. When announcing the nine REACH Commercial companies in April, SCV President and NAR CEO Bob Goldberg described REACH Commercial as "a critical step in our work to ensure that commercial real estate can adapt to and thrive in the markets of the future" .
