Stephen Keighery
Stephen Keighery is an Australian entrepreneur and property investor with a track record of building successful businesses. He founded hipages Group, an Australian home improvement marketplace that scaled to 300 employees, served over 35,000 paying customers, and IPO’ed on the ASX with a market capitalization of $315 million. After stepping away from operational duties at hipages, Stephen took a six-month vacation to New Orleans, where he fell in love with the city and saw an opportunity to revitalize blighted properties. This led him to establish Home Buyer Louisiana, a company dedicated to transforming distressed real estate into valuable housing stock. His impact earned him an E2 business investment visa, allowing him to pursue his mission in the U.S. Today, Stephen is leveraging his expertise in two-sided marketplaces to revolutionize real estate wholesaling in Louisiana. He is passionate about reducing blight and creating housing opportunities in Greater New Orleans and Baton Rouge while driving innovation in the industry.
