About Avenue

Avenue is a distributed, fully remote organization. We transitioned to this way of working in 2020 (like everyone else!) but haven\'t looked back since and plan to remain so permanently. Asynchronous communication and flexible hours let us schedule our days to do our best work without missing out on life\'s important moments.

Avenue grew out of a need we saw in the real estate industry. All of the REALTORS\xc2\xae we knew put in hours of screen time each week online, trying to manage the many moving parts that made up their personal marketing. They wanted to attract new clients, but they weren\'t getting the results they wanted. As a team of marketers, engineers, and designers, we saw how our respective skill sets could work together to solve this problem. We could give Realtors what they\'d never had before: The chance to market themselves online, and stand out-supported by the knowledge and tools only a team of experts could provide.
