Executive Biography
After years of leadership within the Keller Williams Realty network, Kinney launched into the world of real estate teams in 2020 when he co-founded brokerage platform Place. In 2025, the platform, which provides back-office and other key support to teams across North America, acquired data intelligence and software solution provider Remine for $1.5 million. Place raised $100 million in 2021 and has since been working toward a public offering, which could come in 2026. Kinney also runs a real estate team and owns several brokerages and technology and training platforms.
