Lone Wolf Technologies Earns Great Place to Work Certification, Reinforcing Commitment to Excellence in Real Estate Technology
Employee satisfaction is 25% above the industry average, strengthening the foundation for superior customer service and long-term partnership stability DALLAS, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lone Wolf Technologies ("Lone Wolf"), the leader in residential real estate software, and the longest-standing technology company in the real estate industry, today announced it has earned Great Place to Work Certification, with 71% of employees affirming it's a great place to work compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. The certification, based on anonymous employee feedback measuring trust, respect, credibility, fairness, pride, and camaraderie, underscores the company culture that drives Lone Wolf's renowned customer service and product innovation across its Foundation platform, serving over 1.5 million real estate professionals. "Great workplace culture isn't just about employee satisfaction—it directly translates to better customer experiences," said Jimmy Kelly, chief executive officer at Lone Wolf Technologies. "When our team members are engaged and empowered, that energy flows through every customer interaction, every product enhancement, and every support call our real estate partners make." Culture as Competitive Advantage In an industry where technology vendors frequently change ownership, pivot strategies, or disappear entirely, Lone Wolf's strong workplace culture reinforces the stability that real estate professionals rely on for long-term partnerships. The certification validates the company's approach to attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive market. The Great Place to Work assessment evaluated Lone Wolf across five key dimensions: leadership credibility, respect for employees, workplace fairness, employee pride in the company, and sense of belonging. High scores across these areas indicate a stable, engaged workforce that directly benefits customer relationships. Talent Retention Drives Customer Success With employee turnover costs in technology rising, companies with strong workplace cultures demonstrate superior financial stability and operational consistency. Great Place to Work Certified companies show 51% higher retention rates than typical U.S. workplaces. For real estate professionals evaluating technology partners, vendor stability has become increasingly important. Companies with engaged, long-tenured employees are better positioned to provide consistent support, maintain product roadmaps, and honor long-term commitments. "Vendor stability is a big deal. We've used platforms that were great at first and then suddenly changed their pricing or support, or vanished altogether," said Ashley B. Harris. "Knowing Lone Wolf has been around for 36 years builds trust. In a world full of new, flashy tools, longevity matters. It tells me a company has adapted over time and is likely to keep evolving alongside us." Foundation Built on People The certification comes as Lone Wolf continues expanding Foundation, the real estate cloud, capabilities while maintaining the white-glove support standards that have defined the company for over three decades. The integrated suite includes transaction management, CRM, digital marketing, compliance tools, and back-office solutions designed to streamline real estate operations. Lone Wolf's hundreds of U.S.-based employees support real estate professionals across Canada, the U.S., and Latin America, with the company's culture of excellence evident in customer satisfaction scores and industry longevity. Industry Leadership Through People The Great Place to Work Certification adds to Lone Wolf's reputation as an industry leader that real estate professionals can count on for the long term. Recent partnerships, including the landmark five-year agreement with the First Multiple Listing Service, which serves 60,000 members, demonstrate the confidence the industry places in companies with strong operational foundations. Unlike venture-funded startups that may prioritize rapid scaling over sustainable culture, Lone Wolf's balanced approach to growth ensures both innovation and stability for its real estate partners. About Lone Wolf Technologies Lone Wolf Technologies, Inc. is the North American leader in residential real estate software, serving over 1.5 million real estate professionals across Canada, the U.S., and Latin America. With 36 years of industry experience, Lone Wolf provides cloud solutions for agents, teams, brokers, franchises, MLSs, and associations.

This progress was driven by 22 new initiatives and five new early-stage capital impact investments that expanded Philips Foundation's reach, channeling Philips' health technology expertise to help address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases and maternal health challenges, predominantly at the primary care level in underserved communities. 'Today, half of the global population still does not have access to healthcare. Innovation and new digital technologies, combined with an ecosystem of partners, can improve health outcomes and make progress towards a future where quality healthcare is within reach for everyone,' said Marnix van Ginneken, Chair of the Board of the Philips Foundation. 'The Foundation's tenth anniversary marks an important milestone, demonstrating our continued commitment to addressing the critical needs of the world's most vulnerable populations.'

These efforts included groundbreaking work to combat neglected diseases such as rheumatic heart disease in collaboration with the World Heart Federation, and cross-continental ultrasound training programs with RAD-AID International, enabling frontline healthcare workers to detect and prevent life-threatening conditions for people living in low-resource settings. Philips Foundation continues to build scalable healthcare models by providing ventures early-stage capital through Philips Foundation Impact Investments, supporting locally driven innovation and accelerating access to healthcare in underserved settings.
