ATLANTA, GA
What started as a classroom joke has evolved into the foundation of a fast-growing real estate technology platform.
On his first day in a real estate course at the University of West Georgia, Marcus Gore recalls his professor asking students why they chose real estate as a minor, followed by a remark that drew laughs across the room:
“So if your career doesn’t work out, you can fall back on real estate, right?”
At the time, it was lighthearted. But for Gore, it became a defining moment—one that would later shape how he approached both his education and his career.
Today, Gore is the founder and CEO of Topular, an emerging AI-powered real estate platform focused on sourcing, analyzing, and distributing off-market opportunities.
From Classroom to Platform
Founded in November 2020—just one month before graduating from the University of West Georgia—Topular began as an early-stage venture and has since evolved into a platform built on distribution, automation, and scalable deal flow systems.
Gore’s path combines a background in mass communications and real estate with hands-on experience in business-to-business (B2B) sales, where he developed skills in:
- Cold outreach and lead generation
- Pipeline management and CRM systems
- Negotiation and closing
- Revenue-driven sales processes
“Sales taught me how to create opportunities out of nothing,” Gore explains. “Real estate taught me how to monetize them. Communications taught me how to position everything at scale.”
Building a Multi-Market Real Estate Platform
Unlike traditional investors who rely on referrals or limited outreach, Topular operates on a system-driven model powered by:
- Cold email campaigns
- CRM automation
- AI-driven workflows
- Scalable outbound infrastructure
This approach allows the platform to consistently generate both seller opportunities and investor demand.
In many ways, Topular functions as a distribution engine for real estate opportunities, rather than a traditional investment company.
The platform currently operates across markets including Georgia and Northern California, leveraging outbound systems and AI-driven analysis to generate off-market opportunities. With a growing network of buyers and institutional partners, Topular is building toward a nationwide distribution model.
Topular AI: Bridging Data and Execution
At the center of the platform is Topular AI, a tool designed to deliver deeper property insights than traditional automated valuation models.
Topular AI incorporates:
- Investor pricing logic
- Property condition assumptions
- Multiple exit strategies (cash, renovation, and marketplace exposure)
This creates a more dynamic analysis designed for real-world decision-making—bridging the gap between data and execution in real estate.
From “Fallback Plan” to Scalable Model
What was once framed as a backup plan has become the foundation of a scalable business model.
Rather than falling back on real estate, Gore combined communication strategy, sales execution, real estate knowledge, and emerging AI technology to build a platform designed for long-term growth.
“I didn’t fall back on real estate,” Gore says. “I built forward into it—and added systems, automation, and AI to scale it.”
Looking Ahead
Topular is focused on expanding both its deal flow and its technology layer, with initiatives that include:
- Scaling Topular AI into a monetized SaaS product
- Expanding into additional U.S. markets
- Enhancing automation and “deal room” experiences for sellers and buyers
With its foundation in communications, real estate, and B2B sales, Topular is positioning itself at the intersection of real estate, technology, and scalable distribution.
