Cameron Paine, Industry Veteran joins PropTechBuzz as US Advisor

Formerly a top executive with HouseCanary, Apartments.com, eXp Realty, and the Connecticut Statewide MLS, Cameron Paine brings more than 20 years of experience to PropTechBuzz.

Known for his accurate predictions of real estate industry advances, Cameron brings deep experience to developing a global marketplace with PropTechBuzz. He has built successful national brokerages in the U.S. and Canadian markets, developed novel nationwide data solutions, and leveraged unique consumer behavior insights to drive innovation in real estate.

Partnering with PropTechBuzz founder, Ravi Kumar Sapata, Cameron is building the pipeline from VC funding in Asia and Europe to proptech in the United States.

Cameron explains, “Anyone looking at proptech in the U.S. can see a field littered with companies that may have had a great idea or great tech but that couldn’t succeed. But what they can’t see are the common points of failure; the complexity, time, and expense of entering the space without access to the right knowledge, data, or funding. With so many potential points of failure it’s not always about having a great product. PropTechBuzz solves these problems by bringing technology buyers, proptech companies, backers, and industry experts into the same ecosystem.”

Tim Dain, CEO of Northstar MLS says, “Cameron’s background gives him insights into what’s happening in real estate like nobody else. He’s always looking at the future and has an uncanny way of predicting business trends and opportunities. Everything that he sees in PropTechBuzz makes total sense to me.”

Scott Petronis, a well known industry consultant, had this to say about Cameron: “I’ve worked with Cameron as a colleague for more than two decades and he’s always been ahead of the game, pulling the industry forward. Building out a centralized space where we can check out companies, understand their technology, and vet whether we want to be a backer is a game changer. Knowing what options are out there gives me what I need to help my clients make educated investments.

Prior to working with PropTechBuzz as their US Advisor, Cameron has been a top executive with HouseCanary, Apartments.com, eXp Realty, the Connecticut MLS, as well as a consultant.

He has published numerous industry white papers available on his LinkedIn profile, been recognized by Inman News as one of the “Top 100 Most Influential People in Real Estate”, and is a GRAMMY™ Award winning artist.

Cameron lives on the Connecticut shoreline with his wife, daughter, and slightly chunky, much beloved English black lab.
