for the type of consumers hungry for this real estate revolution. We have an enormous pool of smart, savvy and talented people, and with the influx of new residents comes a need for housing. The rise of the on-demand consumer has changed the way a myriad of businesses operate — from food service to package delivery — and it was just a matter of time before the real estate industry would need to evolve its operations to better suit today’s buyer and seller. After years of working in various real estate endeavors independently, OfferPad’s founders, Brian Bair and Jerry Coleman, teamed up in 2009.
