About Jay

Hello, I’m Jay Neely.

Founder of EasyImpress

I’m the founder of EasyImpress, a SaaS business that’s aiming to provide real estate agents with the most-effective, easy, all-in-one real estate  marketing websites. I’m boot-strapping EasyImpress with my friends & co-founders Andrew Trese & Andrew Chahrour. My role is primarily product management, marketing, operations, front-end design & development, sales, support, and customer relationship management, but I pitch in on a few other things, too.

Marketing Consultant

While EasyImpress is in development, I’m providing online marketing consulting services, including social media strategy, content strategy, search engine optimization, and general business / marketing consulting. I’ve previously consulted for Netherlands-based Floorplanner.com, VC-funded imVOX.com, and global enterprise software companySDL. See my Consulting page for more information about my services.

Background

My self-made cardboard desks from when I first moved to Boston.

Thanks to early access to computers in my life, I’ve been a digital native since 1995. I had my first glimpse into startup life during high school as a customer evangelist & sometime-assistant for MindSay, Mashable Editor-in-Chief Adam Ostrow’s first startup. Studying Information Technology & Sociology at Georgia Southern University, I felt unchallenged and uninspired by my environment.

I moved to Boston from Georgia in 2007, drawn by Boston’s reputation as a major startup hub and mecca of education. Attending BarCamp Boston 2 shortly after I arrived, the connections I immediately started making drew me in. Since then, I’ve been working on startups and honing my online marketing skills. Now living in Somerville, MA, you’ll often find me coworking with other young entrepreneurs & freelancers at Diesel Cafe.

This July I've migrated from Textpattern to Wordpress. Bear with me while I redesign & re-architect. More content coming soon.
