HISTORY Todd Drowlette and Pat Gray were roommates at Siena College. After graduation, Todd began his career in Commercial Real Estate whereas Pat began with a Tech start up in Albany. During Todd’s career in Real Estate, it became evident that there was a need for a more cost-effective way of marketing and finding properties became evident. This sparked the idea for the website, which he brought in Pat for the technology side of the Business. The two brought in others and the site was launched a year later.
