loze, a leading provider of AI-powered sales and marketing software for real estate brokerages, has welcomed proptech expert Simon Chen to its Board of Directors. Chen brings extensive experience in driving innovation and productivity in the real estate industry, having held executive roles at Anywhere Real Estate, Realty ONE Group, and realtor.com / Move, Inc.

    Chen expressed his enthusiasm about joining Cloze, citing the company's success in displacing existing CRM systems and all-in-one platforms. He believes that Cloze's technology leadership and foresight in applying AI to drive agent productivity have been key factors in its growth.

    As industry leaders navigate current challenges, they are increasingly turning to Cloze as a connected brokerage strategy that enables faster innovation adoption and reduces vendor lock-in risks. As a result, Cloze has seen significant growth, with its brokerage-direct business more than doubling the number of agents using its platform over the past 12 months. Notable customers include Windermere, Baird Warner, Brown Harris Stevens, Parks Compass, Sotheby's International Realty, and others.

    "We're honored to have Simon join our Board," said Dan Foody, CEO and co-founder of Cloze. "His experience in advising, leading, and investing in proptech companies will be invaluable as we continue to grow and help real estate firms future-proof their tech strategy."
