Goliath is a company that helps real estate agents reach homeowners looking to sell. Founded in 2023 by Max Yuan and Austin Beveridge, its key focus is on providing support to top agents who want to maximize their listings and leverage.
The primary problem Goliath solves is the competitive nature of the real estate market, where over 4 million agents are vying for clients. Since 78% of homeowners sign with the first agent they speak to, timing is crucial in determining success. Top agents focus on leads, listings, and leverage, but can't be everywhere. Goliath changes this by allowing them to focus on supporting homeowners.
Goliath uses machine learning to detect life changes as they happen, giving agents a head start. By spotting these key moments early, the system schedules appointments with homeowners and matches them with agent partners. This ensures agents connect at the perfect moment while homeowners understand their options.
Max Yuan and Austin Beveridge first connected over shared passions for technology and real estate during late nights at Arc, a financial technology platform. They listened to industry operators and spotted a recurring problem: reaching homeowners as they decide to sell. In just two weeks, they built a simple solution that landed their first paying customer, setting the stage for Goliath's rapid evolution.
Goliath has already seen significant wins, including one partner generating $8 million in listings in a single month and another securing $800,000 in contracts in under a week. The company is on track to reach $20 million in listings and $5 million in investor deals this month.
Looking ahead, Goliath is raising its next round of equity financing to expand its engineering team and enter new Southern markets. It's also partnering with brokerages like EXP, Keller Williams, and NextHome to connect with top agents and deliver unmatched support to homeowners.
