EveryHome Realtors is excited to announce their twentieth anniversary in 2019! The boutique real estate agency, now headquartered in Lansdale, began as a vision shared by co-founders Paul Heck and Katie Kennedy in a tiny Harleysville garage. As veterans of the real estate industry, Paul and Katie saw an opportunity to simplify and ultimately revolutionize the home buying process by empowering home shoppers across the region.
Katie recalls, “I was a single mom looking for a place to raise my two kids. I wanted a home in a safe area and within a good school district, but I had a really limited budget. At the time, the only way to see homes was to have real estate agents find you properties, and they didn’t always understand what it was that you wanted. I thought about how I wanted to be able to see every home, not just the houses that the Realtor wanted me to see.” And so in 1999, EveryHome.com was born and became the first website of its kind to pull listings directly from the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This provided homebuyers with the ability to easily browse every real estate listing in the Greater Philadelphia area on their own terms.
EveryHome’s early days in Harleysville began with just two desks in Katie’s garage. The broker of EveryHome Realtors and Katie’s partner, Paul Heck, had an extensive background in computer science and coding, and he spent long days developing software to ensure that every home for sale was accessible to local web browsers. “After the website became public, I can vividly remember the first email we got and how exciting it was,” Katie recalls. “And then the next day, we got eight emails.” Word quickly spread about the local real estate start-up, and by 2006, Katie and her office assistant were closing approximately 15 homes per month. “That was when I realized it was time to bring other agents on board,” she explains. Sure enough, EveryHome Realtors expanded to the 100+ boutique real estate agency that they are today.
Already well-known for their relaxed and friendly culture, the family-owned company looks forward to a number of exciting changes in 2019. They will be unveiling an all-new website with new browsing features and offering a streamlined buying process with enhanced mortgage and title agency partnerships. As Katie Kennedy explains, “we hope to serve as a ‘one-stop shop’ for all of our clients’ real estate needs!”. To learn more about EveryHome Realtors, be sure to visit www.everyhome.com.
