Our Story
We got bit by the real estate bug in college and it hasn’t left us since.
We started investing in rental properties, mini-storage, and commercial office buildings on a small scale. But, one big passion that has grown for us over the years is learning how to leverage technology to help us do things easier, more quickly, and get better results.
Building our first real estate website back in 2003 that began to generate free motivated seller leads online within weeks of it going live. Since then we’ve refined our marketing systems, website platforms, and overall strategy on what it takes to drive leads online in multiple different industries and have brought in over 1,253,267 real estate related leads online in the past 5 years alone.
If you want to see how Carrot can help you on your path to success and provide you with a consistent and predictable pipeline of highly motivated leads then take an interactive demo today.

We Love Marketing, Technology, & Helping Entrepreneurs
Real estate is our roots, but marketing, technology, and entrepreneurship are our passion. We decided to take that passion, experience, and knowledge and create the best website system for real estate investors that does the important things and none of the fluff.
If you’re looking to finally have a real estate investor or agent website that gets search engine rankings and drives you free seller and buyer leads, to be able to take full control of your site from start to finish so your brand is unique to your target market and does not feel like just another template website, to generate leads the RIGHT way and be easy for you to run yourself, you’re looking in the right place.
Our Business Idea
Our business idea is to provide a platform for Real Estate Professionals to become the authority in their markets through sustainable marketing tools that enable them to get off of the marketing hamster wheel grind.
Our Core Values
- Customer Obsessed ⎻ Care deeply about each step of someone’s journey to becoming a successful, long-term Carrot Member.
- Change the Game ⎻ Challenge limiting beliefs of what’s possible. Leap past logical iterations.
- Own It ⎻ Be accountable for results through taking responsibility and holding a high standard.
- Grow Together ⎻ Create opportunities for personal and professional growth while challenging each other as a team.
- Add Humanity ⎻ Be open, honest, and constructive – with yourself, your team, the company, and our customers.
The Carrot Company Advantage
As you know, there’s no shortage of real estate investor and agent website templates on the market. Prices range from $1,500 upfront and $100/month to the low end of $10/month. But we felt there was a gap and real estate investors and agents haven’t been served with what they truly need.
Where all of those other systems make up for cool features like deal analyzers and other fancy doodads, most of them lack the important things. After all, all of those fancy features aren’t worth much if you can’t get consistent traffic to your site, build credibility from your site when they get there, and convert them to customers from there. Many of those systems are great, but most investors and agents just don’t need all of those features or added expense.
We focus on building clean, professional, flexible, and effective websites for real estate investors, agents, and entrepreneurs in other industries as well, to help you grow your business, gain brand identity, and live the lifestyle you want to live.
