ADDITION OF LEADING CRM FURTHERS COMPANY’S AMBITION TO DELIVER END-TO-END BROKER SOLUTIONS

January 14, 2020 – LightBox has announced the acquisition of ClientLook, the leading client relationship management (CRM) software company for CRE brokers, as part of its plan to further enable successful decision making throughout the commercial real estate (CRE) lifecycle.

The acquisition of ClientLook will help LightBox in its continuing effort to unify fragmented workflows and siloed information. ClientLook will be an integral part of LightBox’s new suite of CRE broker & enterprise solutions, leveraging Real Capital Markets’ (RCM) marketing and transaction tools and Digital Map Products’ (DMP) mapping and data analytics capabilities. Both RCM and DMP were acquired by LightBox in 2019.

“This acquisition aligns with our mission to enable the most successful decisions in real estate,” said Eric Frank, Chief Executive Officer of LightBox. “CRE brokers and brokerage firms are seeking innovative tools to grow their businesses. LightBox will deliver solutions capable of both improving the everyday workflow of CRE professionals and interoperating with relevant enterprise-level platforms.”

ClientLook was founded in 2009 to create the industry’s most intuitive, effective and connected CRM experience. As a trusted partner to thousands of commercial real estate professionals involved in buying, selling, leasing and investing in commercial real estate, ClientLook’s pioneering concepts in the CRM space are based on the experiences of Michael Griffin, the firm’s founder.

“Joining the team at LightBox offers us a unique opportunity to create a more comprehensive, integrated CRE technology solution that the industry has always wanted,” said Griffin. “As a part of LightBox, we’ll now have access to new talent and resources, allowing us to enhance the services and support we’ve been providing clients for more than a decade.”

According to Tina Lichens, Chief Operating Officer for RCM LightBox, “ClientLook is a perfect fit for LightBox as we continue to deliver innovative technology solutions to commercial real estate professionals. We are excited to include ClientLook’s services as part of the broker platform and to enable CRE brokers to more effectively manage the people, properties and information that power their businesses.”
