HomeSmart CATHERINE REAGOR REAL ESTATE

Phoenix-based agency has grown by building out from m the t cutting edge

Buying a home starts with an online search for many people these days. Home shoppers often check out houses on their phones as they drive neighborhoods. Real-estate agents can complete sales digitally without any paper. But real estate wasn’t a high-tech experience when CEO Matt Widdows started Phoenix-based HomeSmart in 2000. There were no great mobile apps for agents or easy-to-use online home-search websites. He owned a medical computer company in the 1990s but had a real-estate license and was very interested in the industry. Widdows believed metro Phoenix real-estate agents could save time, make more money and sell more houses with digital help. HomeSmart launched with two agents and a receptionist in a small office. One of the first things Widdows did at his fledgling company was create a mobile app for the brokerage’s agents to use to search houses from their cars. That was groundbreaking technology in the early 2000s. And he didn’t stop there. See HOMESMART, Page 3R Matt Widdows, founder and CEO of HomeSmart International, is seen at his office in Scottsdale.
