RealtyMogul is a technology platform specializing in real estate crowdfunding, enabling individual investors—both accredited and non-accredited—to access vetted commercial real estate deals and diversified REITs that were traditionally reserved for institutions.[1][2][4] Founded in 2012, its mission is to educate and empower investors to achieve financial goals through simplified real estate investing, focusing on value-add opportunities like multifamily properties in gateway cities, with over 220,000 members having deployed more than $1.2 billion in equity into $8 billion+ of assets as of late 2025.[2][3][5] The platform offers standalone deals and two non-traded REITs (MogulREIT I for income-focused debt/equity and Apartment Growth REIT), emphasizing diversification, due diligence, transparency, and passive income potential via a user-friendly interface.[2][4]
RealtyMogul was founded in 2012 by Jilliene Helman, who served as co-founder and CEO, with the initial vision to democratize real estate investing by leveraging technology to connect individual investors with institutional-quality commercial deals.[1][3][5][7] Helman built the company from a small team of 10 to 80 employees within a year around 2013-2014, raising $35 million in funding amid rapid growth, and focused early on multifamily and value-add strategies in gateway cities.[2][7] Key milestones include surpassing 100 multifamily investments by 2021 (with $3.1 billion in properties), expanding teams in product, engineering, and marketing, and reaching 200,000+ members.[3] In November 2025, The Wideman Company acquired RealtyMogul, with Helman stepping down after praising the buyer's expertise to scale the platform; The Wideman Company now co-invests in every deal, accelerating access to opportunistic investments.[5]
RealtyMogul rides the democratization of alternative assets trend, using fintech to lower barriers for retail investors in a $20+ trillion commercial real estate market historically dominated by institutions and high-net-worth individuals.[1][4] Timing aligns with post-pandemic shifts toward multifamily and gateway-city resilience, plus rising demand for passive income amid volatile stocks, enabling pooled retail capital to compete with private equity.[2][3] It influences the ecosystem by growing a 220,000+ member community into a major capital source for operators, fostering innovation in proptech like streamlined due diligence and REITs, while recent investments in tech/marketing sustain momentum.[2][3]
Under The Wideman Company, RealtyMogul is poised to expand deal flow and member base beyond 220,000, leveraging co-investments and tech upgrades for more high-quality, opportunistic plays in recovering markets.[5] Trends like AI-driven property analytics, tokenized real estate, and sustained multifamily demand will shape its path, potentially rivaling larger platforms as retail adoption grows.[2][3] Its influence may evolve from niche crowdfunding to a dominant retail gateway for institutional deals, fulfilling its founding mission of wealth-building accessibility amid economic uncertainty—empowering everyday investors in an asset class poised for steady returns.[1][5]
