Pavonis Launches Integrated CRE Tech Platform

HOUSTON—Launched in 2013 by a cross-section of technology and professional services leaders in commercial real estate, Pavonis Group has formed RealNex, a software and data solutions company. The platform has been seeded with the acquisition of three CRE tech organizations, and is being led by Jeffrey Finn, a Pavonis Group partner who was CEO of NAI Global until its 2012 acquisition by C-III Capital Partners.

With partners coming from disciplines as varied as CRE-related software—including managing partner Mark Kingston, who had been president of Argus Software—and academia as well as commercial brokerage, “We had a pretty well-rounded point of view with regard to the industry, and all said the same thing: there was an inefficiency with regard to collaboration, information sharing and the adoption of technology,” Finn tells GlobeSt.com. Thus was born Pavonis, with the idea of creating “an all-star team that could attack the problem at a much higher level and with much greater scale.”
