GRIT: The Real Estate Growth Mindset
Business
Grier Allen developed his passion for the real estate industry early on in his life. His father was one of the top producing agents in the Charleston area which is why his upbringing helped shape the way he views this business.
After graduating with a computer science degree, he first worked as a consultant in the brokerage where his father worked. This is where he learned that consumers are migrating to the digital to find their next home but the industry at that time was unable to keep up with the demand. This made him realize that technology has a positive impact in terms of creating efficiencies in the real estate world.
Today, Grier is the Co-founder and CEO of Boomtown, which provides top real estate marketing software and technology. He is also considered as an industry leader and a contributor to the growth of real estate teams and the way it has taken over the industry today.
