Building the CARFAX of Residential Real Estate with Bob Frady of PropertyLens
Thu Jan 29 2026
My guest on the show was Bob Frady, the CEO and co-founder of PropertyLens, a company that aims to become the CARFAX for residential real estate. After a number of successful prior ventures, Bob co-founded PropertyLens to solve what he sees as a large information asymmetry between home sellers and home buyers. With that as the background, I was excited to speak with Bob about:
The founding inspiration for PropertyLens;
The unmet need the company’s property reports are filling for homebuyers;
The existing competitive set that is tackling similar problems;
How the various players in the home selling ecosystem are reacting to the emergence of PropertyLens; and
How he defines success going forward for the company.
