Inhabit IQ's industry knowledge and collaborative approach with fast-growing tech companies make them the ideal partner to create a true industry-leading offering."

"We are proud to have supported ResMan's growth and expansion as the company takes this exciting next step in their journey," said Gavin Turner, Managing Partner at Mainsail Partners, ResMan's growth equity partner prior to today's transaction. "Since our investment in 2017, ResMan has experienced strong organic growth as a result of key investments in people, innovation and technology, as well as transformative growth from several add-on acquisitions. We are confident ResMan will continue to accelerate its momentum and provide clients with an even stronger offering as part of Inhabit IQ. We look forward to watching their continued success."

This partnership empowers our sales professionals to meet the demands of modern buyers by providing them with the information they need to make some of the largest decisions in their lives," said Daniel Butbul, VP of Operations at JPAR's Affiliated Network.

They share our vision of a better real estate search experience powered by floor plans being attached to every listing, and our technology is the world's single-easiest and most-scalable solution to creating floor plans," according to Jeff Allen, President, CubiCasa.

Agents can then upload the scan on-site or at their convenience.
