CAMBRIDGE, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lone Wolf Real Estate Technologies Inc. (“Lone Wolf”), the North American leader in residential real estate software and services, today announced that it has received a strategic growth investment from Vista Equity Partners (“Vista”). The investment will support Lone Wolf as it pursues new market opportunities, expands product development efforts, and solidifies its position as the largest provider of enterprise software for residential real estate brokerages in the United States and Canada.
“We are thrilled to be working with Vista, which has an impressive track record of investing in software providers across a variety of industries, including real estate,” said Lorne C. Wallace, CEO of Lone Wolf. “Our attraction was the resources and expertise they bring to help us expand our offerings, drive sustainable growth, and, most importantly, deliver additional value to our clients.”
Serving nearly 10,000 real estate offices and 250,000 real estate professionals across the United States and Canada, Lone Wolf is the industry leader for residential real estate software solutions in North America. The company’s back-office solution, brokerWOLF, is used by more than half of the top 500 brokerage firms in the U.S. and 94 of the top 100 firms in Canada. Over the past 25 years, Lone Wolf has built a reputation as a thought leader in the industry and a trusted partner to its clients.
“We are excited to partner with the Lone Wolf management team as the company enters its next phase of growth,” said Alan Cline, principal at Vista Equity Partners. “Significant market opportunity exists for their core back- and front-office brokerage solutions as many brokers still use manual processes and spreadsheet-based solutions to manage business operations. Based on our research, Lone Wolf’s solutions, which were specifically built for real estate professionals, do an incredible job helping customers better manage their operations and, as a result, create exceptional value for their owners and agents.”
“Vista invests exclusively in software, data, and technology-enabled businesses and works closely with their management teams to provide insights, resources and access to a proven set of operational best practices,” Wallace said. “I am confident that Vista will help us elevate Lone Wolf to the next level. We have accomplished so much already, but we have so much more ahead. This is an exciting place to be.”
