Jilliene Helman comes from a family of entrepreneurs so it came as no surprise when she quit her job as Vice President at Union Bank to start her own company. In 2012, she co-founded RealtyMogul.com, an accredited investor platform using the crowdfunding model for the real estate industry. She is now its Chief Executive Officer who oversees the company’s strategic directions and operations.
RealtyMogul.com is considered as one the world’s fastest-growing crowdfunding companies, a feat that earned Helman her recognition as the 2013 Crowdfunding CEO of the Year by CrowdfundBeat.com and one of 2013’s 100 Most Influential Real Estate Leaders. The company was also recognized by Business Insider as one 2013’s top start-ups.
The website has more than 17,000 active accredited and institutional investors with investments in 250+ properties in more than 20 states for over $80 million – and they have received millions in returns, too.
The company attracts many of the best institutional investors inside and outside of the real estate industry, all of whom want to diversify their portfolios. The fast, easy and convenient platform provided by RealtyMogul.com provides them with the invaluable opportunities to invest their wealth in previously inaccessible or unavailable real estate investments.
Real estate investment sponsors also find the RealtyMogul.com platform as a useful venue to create joint equity ventures. Borrowers also come to the website for the opportunity to avail of flexible debt. This is because the crowdfunding website provides sponsors and borrowers faster access to equity and debt, which are usually not as easily available through traditional means.
Helman is a certified and licensed wealth strategist. She has comprehensive experience in managing investment accounts of up to $300 million, structuring investment portfolios, and analyzing investment policies, as well as working on acquisition-related integration efforts. She has also underwritten more than $1 billion of real estate.
