John Meredith - Creative Technologist

Dear Awesome Person, Thank you for reading this! Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area has given me lots of hands-on experience in a variety of amazing fields, all of them connected to technology and real estate in some way. I love complex processes that utilize a variety of talents, teamwork, collaboration, and “out-of-the-box” thinking. I took a film script of 10 pages and after utilizing state of the art digital cameras, editing systems, computer systems, a cast of actors and collaborators, I won the “Best Film" producer award at a prestigious film festival in Los Angeles. During the Northern California fires of 2018, I was in San Francisco to help with a lease-up that was not hitting its targets. I remember the streets were empty and smoke filled the city. Despite the conditions, I was able to finish a 60-unit luxury lease-up in 2 months instead of the projected 6 months. I remotely managed and trained 35 “New Home Sales Specialists,” to use a new proprietary software system that I ran at a startup. Our customers were New Home Builders without technology-enabled sales teams. My teams were spread over California, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada. Despite many of my teams having little or no experience in utilizing technology to increase New Home Sales, we broke records and hit some amazing milestones. While working at the number one “Top Startup” on LinkedIn for 2020 and 2021, I had the opportunity to work directly with American Express customers. I ranked number 1 in my role which was providing “white glove” concierge loan services to our partnership. I can come up with really good ideas. I applied and then was invited to enter "Google's Global Startup Ecosystem" after submitting my concept for HomeKeyX in 2014. I have been part of Google’s startup ecosystem ever since, which provides me with a constant cutting edge look at technology, meet-ups, classes, early information, and what is coming next. I love challenges! Sincerely, John Meredith
