George Burchlaw

Principal

George Burchlaw has never worked at a software company but understands the importance of technology and the efficiencies it can provide real estate investment professionals. After working in the civil engineering and building forensic analysis industries, he earned an MBA from The University of Texas in 2000.

Throughout his nearly twenty years in the real estate industry after receiving his MBA, Mr. Burchlaw continually saw the challenges that real estate investment companies had in tracking information and evaluating their investment portfolios.  He launched RE Analytics to solve these challenges.

Owner representative expertise that traditional software companies cannot provide
