Company Overview
RealEIS provides real estate Internet solutions that meet real needs. Our Internet-based software systems
facilitate efficient operation of a property management company.
Founded in 1997 by a small group of property managers and technologists, RealEIS saw an opportunity to use
the Internet to market rental listings and professional management services. As the reliability, functionality,
and use of the Internet increased, so did the product and service offerings of RealEIS.
RealEIS has focused like a laser on the professionals who manage single-family and small residential properties
through the HERO PM suite of products. This market was underserved by technology, and has been
overlooked by many. We changed all that.
With 1 out of 25 professionally managed rental homes in America managed by one of our members, the
company has proven its ability to provide what property managers are looking for.
