Building the Best Path from First Home to Forever Home
Navigating the complex landscape of agents, lenders, inspections, insurance, mortgages, and escrow can be overwhelming for homeowners. But—with cash offers, integrated loans, and a seamless app experience—Reali promised a better way.
As the Head of Brand & Design, I led a team that developed and executed innovative and impactful creative strategies that elevated every aspect of the customer journey.
Our approach centered on creating emotional connections with customers through relatable, authentic, and visually-compelling experiences. This focus helped drive top-line revenue growth and differentiated our brand in the crowded prop-tech industry.
