Happy Grasshopper's Email Marketing Service Named by HousingWire as a Top Real Estate Tech Firm

TAMPA, Fla. - June 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Happy Grasshopper recently received news of great distinction: it was selected as one of HousingWire’s Top 50 Real Estate Technology Firms. The inaugural list of tech leaders shines the spotlight on firms that aren’t just innovators, but that are set on no less than revolutionizing the real estate marketplace.

HousingWire chose the final 50 firms for the 2013 class of honorees after reviewing more than 200 submissions received in an open-nomination period. Firms were selected with an eye towards their forward & potential impact on the real estate business in the near-term.

"Impact is a strong word, and it means so many different things when put into context," said Jacob Gaffney, Executive Editor at HousingWire. "We sought to place each firm into context, which means some newer firms ended up making the grade this year. I think that's unique."

Happy Grasshopper, which crafts fun, friendly, conversation-driven email content for real estate agents and other sales professionals, notes a common thread woven through this year’s HousingWire honorees: they’re all about finding the human element in Real Estate.

Happy Grasshopper CEO Dan Stewart says, “Real Estate has gone too far over to the tech side. People have forgotten that technology is there to help foster human connections, not replace them. Happy Grasshopper wants to help agents and professionals find those authentic human connections that have been lost in ‘the Matrix.’ We’re thrilled that HousingWire recognizes that and that we’ve been chosen in this inaugural group. To say that we’re psyched would be making a bit of an understatement.”

This week, Happy Grasshopper, along with many of the other RE Tech 50 honorees, is in Ft. Worth, Texas at REX Annual 2013: HousingWire’s conference that focuses on connecting people (because connections are the process that drives any industry forward) and which takes an innovative look at how technology is changing real estate.
