In today’s podcast, I interview Bryan Copely, co-founder and ceo of Citybldr, spelled “c” “i” “t” “y” “b” “l” “d” “r”
Citybldr is all about helping property owners, developers, buyers, sellers and brokers find the highest and best use for their property. Not only does it help determine the highest and best use, it also
What does highest and best use mean, you ask.
The appraisal institute defines highest and best use of real property as "the reasonably probable, and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible and that results in the highest value."
Bryan and i are going to talk about how citybldr helps you maximize the return on your real property investment through the use of a combination of human and ai analysis.
At its heart, Citybldr is a technology solution. It uses machine learning on dozens of disparate data sources to build a proprietary valuation, that they call the "CityBldr Estimate". But technology is not the only resource at their disposal. They take advantage of both human and AI analysis and work with experienced developers to verify their assumptions and to help build the accuracy of our predictions.
Citybldr doesn't only help you with determining the best value, it has it's own marketplace to put buyers and sellers together.
During this interview, we also discuss Bryan's Horatio Alger story of how he went from cleaning toilets to becoming the head of a number of entrepreneurial, technology companies.
His story is near and dear to me because, I'm a working man of modest beginnings. I started with many menial jobs, including cleaning toilets, being a swamper on trucks, working a car wash, mowing lawns, selling men's suits and hauling bales of used newspapers. This was all before I became an attorney, 42 years ago, served as General Counsel 4 different times, held real estate licenses 3 different times in 2 states and now, about to receive my real estate license in Nevada, making it my 4th license in 3 states.
