Sam Loya

Sam designs the idea and the experience: what a tool should do, how it should feel, and every screen you touch. Twenty years in real estate media taught him what people actually need, and as co-founder of Go Further Group he runs a real business on the tools he designs.

What Sam brings.

01

Knows the real problem.

He's lived every one of them from the agent's side, so we build for what actually slows people down.

02

Designs the experience.

From a rough sketch to the screen you tap. If it doesn't make sense the first time, it isn't done.

03

Asks what-if.

The ideas others call too early. That's usually where the next tool is.

The road here

Twenty years, one problem.

    Virtual tours and property sites

    Founded virtual-tour and property-media companies serving agents across California.

  3. Then

    Software for agents

    Co-built a CRM and IDX marketing suite used by agents on the nation's largest MLS.

    Co-founded the lab with Ryan to build the tool he'd wanted for twenty years.

  6. Jun 2026

    Luster goes live

    Took Luster into a brokerage office the month it hit the App Store. Most of the first users came from that room.

  7. 2026

    Beyond Real Estate

    Built beyondreg.com for a brokerage that helps families through the hard chapters: a site that works as a set of tools, not just listings.
