About

I’m building cheaper,better tools forreal estate intelligence.

I'm Stephen Englert, founder of AutoVal LLC and CurbScope. I've worked in commercial real estate for fifteen years, and that's the reason these products exist.

Why I built CurbScope

Everyone in this business leans on the same property data. Who owns the building, what they paid for it, whether it's in distress, and how to get them on the phone. The tools that have that information are built for a desk. I wanted it on my phone and in the car, while I'm actually looking at the property.

That's CurbScope. Point your phone at a building and the owner and value show up on it. Drive with CarPlay and it reads properties to you. When you want to reach an owner, their number is one tap away. I'm also building two more products, for brokerage and for underwriting, that aren't public yet.

Why it costs so much less

Because I run a very small and efficient team, my products can provide the same value as tools like CoStar, Reonomy, and ATTOM at a tiny fraction of the cost. It works because we're AI-enabled, so we can pass the savings on to users and still run a profitable business.

We don't have a huge employee count, an ad budget, or a headquarters building to pay for. That means we can offer users a far more compelling value proposition than the big platforms can.

Why my experience matters here

I'm on Avison Young's Florida Capital Markets team. We've handled some of the biggest sales in Florida's history, across every product type, and I work our deals from pricing and underwriting through marketing, offers, and closing. Over my career I've underwritten more than $5 billion of real estate. Before Avison Young, I was a Senior Financial Analyst at Rialto Capital, where I underwrote more than $500 million across every asset class.

So I'm not guessing at what brokers, investors, and analysts need. I know what you have to find out about a building before a deal moves, how long it takes to find it, and where the time gets wasted, because I'm doing it every week. That's the bar every AutoVal product has to clear: would I actually use it on a live deal?

Outside of work

I live in Palmetto Bay with my wife, Ali, and our two kids. When I'm not working, I'm skiing, playing golf, or making art with my kids.
