In 2008, Jeremy Sicklick, a partner and managing director at Boston Consulting Group at the time, was confronted with the fact that the residential real estate industry was in dire need of modernization. Given the lack of transparency and data standards, Sicklick co-founded HouseCanary in 2014 to provide every player in the residential real estate space with better, more reliable data. Today, the HouseCanary team has built a set of next-generation analytics, AI and valuation solutions that are powerfully detailed, predictive and accurate.
As chief executive officer at HouseCanary, Sicklick drives innovation and strategy, utilizing the company’s dataset to bring unique and effective products to market. ComeHome provides a seamless experience for customer engagement for consumer homeownership, while products like Acquisition Explorer allow real estate investors a seamless, start to finish buying process based on HouseCanary’s vast dataset.
Sicklick has also become a thought leader in the residential real estate space. Using his vast experience, he is often called upon to provide commentary on trends and changes in the real estate industry, as seen in a thought-piece written for Inman. HouseCanary is also on a mission to end racial bias in real estate evaluations, with Sicklick penning an op-ed for HousingWire, calling out the discrimination present in the valuation process. Recently Sicklick has led the company to a successful beta launch of CanaryAI and is excited for the tool to be available to all users at its full capabilities.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Probably in kindergarten, I remember being taught the “golden rule”: Treat others how you want to be treated. Every day, in every interaction I try to follow this.
