“During the most recent quarter, we have successfully integrated HomeVisit, the largest acquisition in Urbanimmersive’s history. This strategic acquisition brings technology, revenues, large U.S. customer base and opportunities to upsell Urbanimmersive’s solutions. This transaction positions Urbanimmersive to address the $US 1.5 billion addressable market for the photography of residential real estate. Concurrently to the acquisition, CoreLogic the largest real estate technology provider in North America, became a shareholder of Urbanimmersive and has signed a strategic partnership. This partnership, which is the result of several months of technology due diligence, allows Urbanimmersive to onboard MLS agencies and real estate brokers to its marketplace and benefit from our fully integrated and proprietary solutions. This deal fits perfectly with our U.S. expansion strategy,” said Ghislain Lemire, President and CEO of Urbanimmersive.

“Although we are still navigating in a difficult real estate market environment, the rapid integration of HomeVisit’s activities into our state-of-the-art management system (‘ERP’) and our enhanced global product and service offering, including 3D visits, marketplace and metaverse experience, allows us to consider the future with optimism in terms of growth and financial performance,” added Mr. Lemire.
