Event Sales Representative - Realm
Los Angeles, CA
About the Job
Realm is on a mission to bring simplicity to homeownership. From the day you buy your home to the day it is sold, there are a series of complex and expensive decisions to be made. What should you renovate? How much should it cost? Should you refinance? When does it make sense to move?
That's where Realm comes in. With primary residences accounting for 62% of the average American's net worth, we're building a single destination to empower homeowners to decide what to do with their home, and then help them do those things seamlessly. And we're starting with solving the most complex of these decisions – renovations.
Today we've helped 500+ homeowners navigate renovations totaling over $70M with industry-leading, proprietary data and expert guidance from our Realm Advisors. We're on track to be a $1B+ business in the next few years, and are backed by top-tier VC firms like GGV, Lerer Hippeau, and Primary Venture Partners.
