Ex-Microsoft exec Tony Scripa has signed on as chief financial officer at Seattle real estate startup Flyhomes. Scripa spent 18 years at Microsoft in its global OEM division and was most recently advisor to the CEO at file-sharing startup Droplr.
“From client reviews on Yelp to the day-to-day energy of the team, it’s just obvious to me that Flyhomes has the right focus on winning the huge opportunity here,” Scripa said in a statement.
Flyhomes targets the entire home-buying process with services ranging from brokerage and escrow to maintenance and repairs. Last year, it raised $17 million to fund a program that makes cash offers on behalf of clients.
