Raymond Allie

Raymond Allie is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Spotlight Realty, an artificial intelligence-driven residential rental brokerage based in the New York City Metropolitan Area. The startup, which currently operates with a team of approximately four employees, recently joined the Y Combinator Summer 2025 batch under the guidance of Primary Partner Jared Friedman. Allie directs the corporate strategic growth and operational scaling initiatives as the firm seeks to compete directly with established real estate technology platforms like StreetEasy and Zillow. Under his leadership, the brokerage utilizes proprietary lead generation software and an automated agent for tenant showings to reduce landlord commission rates to a flat four percent. His current professional focus centers entirely on leveraging advanced artificial intelligence to streamline tenant screening and modernize traditional brokerage services within the highly competitive urban real estate sector.
