Identifying Future Sellers with 95% Accuracy with Paul Wakim, Ep. 471

Paul Wakim, the founder of TwnSqr, taught himself how to code in Python to create an algorithm to predict who was going to sell their home next by identifying people who showed signs of 5 or 6 common selling traits. Later, he met his great friend and TwnSqr co-founder, Mitch Tracy. In mid-2019, Mitch quit his job to come work on TwnSqr full-time to refine and drastically improve the algorithm.

Through trial and error, Paul and Mitch ended up with the version of TwnSqr that we have today – the premiere off-market property dispositions tool that connects real estate investors with one another and, eventually, the largest institutional buyers in the world. Their goal is to support sellers, investors, and buyers of all sizes through world-class technology!

We talked to Paul about how they got to the 95% accuracy rate on who wants to sell, how it helps investors form deeper and more valuable connections, and what makes TwnSqr a great platform for professional investors.
