Joe Skousen has helped redefine the real estate technology landscape as the architect of one of the industry’s most comprehensive software ecosystems. In 2025, Skousen accelerated Inside Real Estate’s momentum into hyperdrive, leading the company through a transformative era with the BoldTrail platform reaching more than 400,000 users. This seamless end-to-end platform, launched in 2024, unites legacy brands like kvCORE, BoomTown and Brokermint into a single, scalable destination. Under his leadership in 2025, the firm executed the strategic acquisition of ListAssist and launched HomeSearch AI—a natural language search tool designed to deliver a better search experience and help agents reengage their entire database
Skousen’s people-first philosophy has solidified partnerships with the industry’s top franchises, including REMAX, NextHome, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, eXp Realty and Weichert. Skousen also remained deeply committed to community impact through the company’s 5th annual Give Back Awards, which honor real estate professionals who lead with heart.
“My role as a leader is based on an unwavering commitment to people—the people who make Inside Real Estate the powerhouse that it is, and the people whose businesses are bettered by their efforts,” Skousen shares. “What excites me most is knowing that we’re not just delivering cutting-edge tools—we’re giving real estate professionals the ability to configure solutions around their unique businesses, drive greater efficiency and ultimately create lasting success for themselves and their clients thrive no matter the market conditions.”
