Our Story

RealSights was founded in 2015 by Shawn Anderson and Jon Parker. Shawn was running one of the top real estate teams in the country and Jon was the head of a successful software company. Both were born and raised in Southeast Idaho and inherited the small-town values and work ethic of the communities in which they were raised.

Building a New Solution

The company was first formed to create a product called Showing Pulse. Shawn was not satisfied with the showing feedback solutions on the market at the time and after expressing some frustration about that with Jon, they both agreed they could design and build a superior product, which they did.

After 6 months of design and engineering, they had Showing Pulse, which immediately enhanced the level of service The Anderson Group was providing to its clients.

Developing Market Pulse and Real Pulse

In the meantime, Shawn began work on two other technology solutions for his team. Needing a tool to track team performance and projections, he began construction of an Access Database that would eventually evolve into Real Pulse. He also built a deck of real estate market reports that he compiled into a monthly edition for his agents called Market Pulse.

Neither Real Pulse or Market Pulse were built for the general agent population but were instead created to enhance the experience for Anderson Group and eventual Anderson Hicks Group clients and agents.

In 2021, Jon Parker sold his company and joined Shawn Anderson, Mike Hicks, and Kris Bertagnolli, the owners of Anderson Hicks Group to bring new features to Showing Pulse and to bring Market Pulse and Real Pulse to the market.

As owners of one of the top real estate teams in the country, the founders of RealSights know what it takes to be successful in real estate.

They understand the pain agents face and the need for automation of processes and tasks. They know the right information, delivered to the right people, at the right time will guarantee success in real estate and the solutions they provide will do just that!
