Summary

Today in episode 83 of Redirected, we sit down with our next guest on this 30 under 30 series, Brian Zitin. During his senior year at Boston University, Brian Zitin and his roommate, Will Denslow, skipped class to work on a brokerage firm that used algorithms to source deals, selling $5 million in real estate total. Shortly after, they founded Reggora to automate real estate appraisal. The 25-person company has raised $5 million for its platform that connects mortgage lenders with thousands of appraisers for faster valuations. His story is one you’ll want to listen to.
