Eric Stegemann brings years of experience and expertise to his role as CEO for TRIBUS. Having become a REALTOR before reaching the age of 20, Eric grew passionate about an industry where responsibility and hard work were rewarded.  While loving his days selling real estate, he knew there was a larger opportunity to build a technology-oriented brokerage. In 2004, he created River City Real Estate, which quickly became the largest independent brokerage in the St. Louis area. There he oversaw the development of numerous real estate technology breakthroughs that were well ahead of their time. The intellectual property developed at the company eventually became the framework for a new technology firm: TRIBUS. Formed in 2009, TRIBUS brings forward-thinking technology solutions for medium- and large-sized real estate brokerages across the U.S. and Canada. 

Eric is regarded as one of the brightest minds in the real estate technology realm and has spoken at a variety of real estate events, such as Inman Connect in New York and San Francisco, the NAR Annual conference, and numerous state and local board meetings.
