After a decade working at the largest residential firms in Manhattan, Owen has broken from the pack to lead a new mission driven by his personal desire to create more transparency and leverage for home owners in a dynamic marketplace governed by mixed motives. Venture capitalists and lobbying groups such as Zillow or NAR together with billion dollar private equity investment firms such as Soft Bank funded Compass or the Anywhere Real Estate Group, dominate the residential real estate landscape, overshadowing seller’s leverage in a highly personal financial investment. Owen has experienced first hand how the major firms take a “broker focused” approach, driven primarily by acquiring top producing agents to drive up earnings. Staggering sums are spent on buying and training talent to boost corporate growth, and agent success is often placed before a seller’s best interest. Templates are mass produced for listing presentations and agents with limited technical knowledge can “plug-and play”, posing as marketing specialists or industry experts. Owen’s mission tackles the very essence of brokerage, and what it means to represent clients as a true confidant. Since the dawn of time, the role of a real estate agent has been synonymous with other highly replaceable positions, merely due to the fact that there are so many incompetent agents who focus on the immediate hustle over interpersonal relationships. For Owen, the role of a real estate broker is highly personal, comprised of the utmost discretion and trust.

Owen has launched his new brokerage, Boller Properties, to provide a more intimate, seller focused approach to representing real estate. Home owners have the choice to list their home publicly or privately (in network) with the primary focus of only selling at the right time. With a massive network from his tenure at the largest firms in the country, Owen’s rolodex and influence spreads across five continents, comprised by an epic network of brokers and consumers across the globe. As a visionary for the future of real estate, Owen is actively working on a real estate application which will provide more transparency and choice for home owners, harnessing the latest game changing technology.
