About Me  
Richard Swerdlow, CEO, founded Condo.com in 2005 and is responsible for the Company's strategic direction, marketing and operations. The idea for a global marketplace for condominiums came to him in mid-2005 while driving to a development site his company acquired for a high-end condo project. At the time, the lifestyle magazines and billboards along the major highways had become filled with ads for pre-construction condos. It occurred to him that, although the projects were selling out as frenzied investors from all over the world plunked down deposits with the hopes of “flipping” the units for a profit before having to close, this activity would eventually end and there would be a global over-supply of condos on the market. With the intention to help builders and developers, brokers, individual owners and financial institutions sell their inventory when the market turned down, he developed Condo.com into a global online marketplace to create liquidity for all participants.

Swerdlow has since grown Condo.com into the #1 condo real estate brand in the world. The site has over 700,000 listings valued in excess of $200 billion. The site receives over 1 million visitors per month and generates qualified sales leads in excess of $500 million monthly.

Previously, Mr. Swerdlow founded Everything Wireless, the first consumer cataloger and Internet retailer that provided national distribution of wireless phones and accessories. The Company was founded in 1993 as one of the first e-commerce companies in the country. It was hailed as “the granddaddy of all cell phone websites” and grew to $100 million in revenues with over 750,000 active customers and was sold to Federated Department Stores in 2000.

Mr. Swerdlow began his career practicing law in the Public Finance Department of Greenberg Traurig, Miami, Florida where he helped structure bond financings for a variety of municipal clients as bond counsel and underwriter's counsel. His passion to help commercialize space infrastructure, including launch facilities at Cape Canaveral, ultimately resulted in the issuance of bonds by the Florida Spaceport Authority.

Swerdlow is an internet real estate marketing expert. He has been featured on Fox News, CNBC, CNN and in numerous other TV, radio and print media outlets including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. He is a member of the New York and Florida Bar Associations and a licensed Real Estate and Mortgage Broker. For fun, he races sailboats and spends time with his family in S. Florida.
