Rick Hennessey works to push real estate toward the future through advocacy, education and growing technology. In his role as CEO at HouseAmp, he leads more and more real estate professionals to the future every day through expanding the company’s business and offerings.

Throughout 2024, Hennessey led HouseAmp’s expansion from just a handful of states to being available nationwide to allow more brokers and agents to take their business to the next level. He also led the company through several strategic partnerships, joining forces with Renovation Sells and BOSSCAT™ Home Services and Technologies.

A frequent speaker at both technology and residential real estate conferences globally, Hennessey shared his insights during RISMedia’s 36th Annual CEO & Leadership Exchange in September.

“You only get one chance to make a first impression,” says Hennessey, who believes the way to reach success in real estate is to have your finger on the pulse of market trends, client needs and technology. “The best real estate agents bring a deep understanding of the local housing market and the dynamics that influence property values.”
