RealtyMogul is a technology company.
RealtyMogul operates a digital platform designed to provide individual investors with access to commercial real estate opportunities typically reserved for institutional capital. The company facilitates investments in various real estate assets, including individual properties, 1031-eligible offerings, and real estate investment trusts (REITs). It leverages technology to streamline the investment process, combining automated tools with human expert judgment for due diligence and selection, focusing on property fundamentals, sponsor alignment, and market discipline.
Founded in 2012 by Jilliene Helman and Justin Hughes, RealtyMogul emerged from the realization that commercial real estate investing was largely inaccessible to a broader investor base. The founders identified a need to democratize entry into institutional-quality real estate, driven by the understanding that real estate ownership is a key component of long-term wealth creation and passive income. This insight led to the creation of a platform bridging the gap between individual investors and lucrative commercial property ventures.
The platform serves individual investors seeking to diversify their portfolios with real estate assets. RealtyMogul’s vision centers on offering a consistent pipeline of vetted opportunities while upholding strict underwriting standards. It aims to support investments through their entire lifecycle and continually enhance the platform experience through data and technology, operating with transparency, accountability, and an owner’s mindset to empower investors.
RealtyMogul has raised $118.0M across 4 funding rounds.

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]
