Bryan Copley

Bryan Copley is CEO and Co-founder at CityBldr. A Seattle native, Bryan got his first job cleaning a small software company at 15. After getting access to (and continually breaking) the company's application, he was offered a role as a software tester, a position he kept through high school. During this time, he became fascinated with automation.

After lightly attending college (go UW), Bryan was offered a position as an apprentice for a real estate investor, who taught him his first lesson in real estate: everything was for sale. Spending free time after work analyzing myriad spreadsheets and data sets, Bryan fell in love with finding hidden real estate value but lamented the manual, industry-standard nature of data collection and analyzation. In the fall of 2004 he determined to someday automate that process.

After a decade in real estate, tech, finance, and sales, he founded REBLS (Real Estate Buyers Listing Service), which allowed owners to enter their address and see matching buyers instantly. Shortly after he met 18-year-old Devyn Cairns, was wowed, and hired him as a software engineer. Devyn and Bryan co-founded Everyhome, a platform that allowed any buyer to bid on any property in the country. In 2016 they launched CityBldr, AI to determine the highest and best use of property. The company locates the most underutilized property in any geography and buys or brokers them.

CityBldr was named Innovator of the Month by the Puget Sound Business Journal in September 2017 and was listed number 1 on Forbes’ list of 11 companies transforming commercial real estate through AI.

When he's not working, Bryan enjoys hiking in the PNW, exploring urban neighborhoods, reading and spending time with friends and family.
