The Humans Behind the Matching Magic

Tech-savvy, people-first, and a little bit nosy — just the way we like it.

Meet Your Yenta's

My Real Estate Yenta is the brainchild of three friends from Upstate New York who were searching for better ways to connect agents with clients after their own botched real estate match. Hunting for a great loft in the DC Metro area, Yenta President Jay was introduced to a fun and funky agent by a close friend living in the area.

When the agent showed up thirty minutes late, a stack of tattered, wrinkled papers two inches deep unceremoniously jammed into a clipboard and a wide-eyed look of bubbly happiness blended with equal parts insanity, Jay (think Type A former scientist) may have cursed his referring friends name.

So My Real Estate Yenta was born! The men’s goal was to develop a system by which people needing or offering real estate services could scientifically be matched together, rather than through random connection. Launched first in the DC Metro area in 2023, they are looking to grow throughout the country in 2024 and beyond.
