“The new Lone Wolf Foundation includes tools such as Transact, Relationships and Deal Tracker, all aimed at simplifying deal management and enhancing client relationships. By integrating transaction management with a client-focused relationship platform, California REALTORS® can manage their entire business from a single, unified platform—empowering them to build stronger client connections and drive long-term success.”
Nice win! Looks like Lone Wolf’s Relationships is legit, straight off the heels of winning Inman’s Innovator Award for Best Lead Servicing Solution. Great to start seeing larger deals like this happening again. Congrats CAR and Lone Wolf.
Cloud CMA turns MLS data into branded, client-friendly reports fast, while also offering features to present these interactively at the table or over Zoom. It also allows you to send automated, “living” CMAs so homeowners see updates over time (though the availability varies by market).”
“Baur is best known for his role as founding CEO of MoxiWorks, a real estate software platform that now supports over 800 brokerages and 400,000 agents. Baur stepped down as CEO of MoxiWorks in 2024.”
Even in an industry known for vendors jumping ship and joining former rivals, York joining Lone Wolf takes the cake. Having York rep Cloud CMA is still something I’m still wrapping my head around. 🤯
But make no mistake, this is a huge win for Lone Wolf and its customers. York is a fun, knowledgeable, and pragmatic, who knows the broker technology services market cold. Grab the popcorn.
“Real estate agents and teams often face inefficiencies caused by disconnected tools and processes. By integrating Follow Up Boss with Foundation—including solutions like Boost, Cloud CMA, Transact, and Back Office—agents can now manage their businesses more efficiently, while maintaining a strong focus on customer experience.
“Our mission has always been to empower real estate professionals by providing tools that simplify their daily operations and allow them to focus on what they do best,” said Jimmy Kelly, CEO at Lone Wolf Technologies. “This partnership represents our commitment to open, collaborative solutions that bring value to all agents, brokers, and teams.”
Even companies like Lone Wolf, which are aiming for an end-to-end solution, know they are not going to get everyone to use all their tools. This is especially true when it comes to a CRM. CRM adoption is tough, and once people get used to one, they tend to stick with it.
So I think it is both pragmatic and smart for Lone Wolf to take this path. I know other software vendors take a different approach, trying to lock you into their entire ecosystem or forcing you to use tools like Zapier to integrate.
Kudos to Lone Wolf and Follow Up Boss for making it easier for agents to integrate the tools they already love.
“In a significant development for the real estate technology sector, Lone Wolf Technologies and First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS) have announced a groundbreaking five-year strategic partnership. This collaboration will bring Lone Wolf’s trusted TransactionDesk platform, including the industry-leading Authentisign eSignature solution, to FMLS’s more than 60,000 members. “
Absolutely huge deal for both parties. There’s been a bit of a logjam in deals like this in our space. I get to meet and work with a lot of great companies and talented people who love real estate technology and want to innovate.
I hope this is a sign that things are getting back to a place where we see more companies investing in the future so all this wonderful talent can be put to good use.
Dan Fortin was one of my favorite people I met working at Lone Wolf. He came over from the Instanet acquisition and has had a front-row seat to see big changes in the industry. From Lone Wolf acquiring 8 companies, 5 of them in less than 9 months, to the challenges of being a forms company during COVID when everyone wanted a specific form, and they wanted it NOW! Sounds familiar, eh?
We discuss Dan’s background, the lessons he’s learned over the 10 years, and how taking a data-driven approach to making decisions has helped him during his career.
We also get to talk about Lone Wolf’s recent announcement on its newest platform, Foundation, and the tremendous amount of work that took. We also delve into product, design, and what the future holds for Lone Wolf.

My thanks to Lone Wolf for sponsoring this month’s Vendor Alley. Lone Wolf is rolling out its new platform, dubbed Foundation.
Lone Wolf Foundation is an all-in-one platform that gives real estate professionals a modular approach to their software. Users can choose the Lone Wolf software they need and integrate third-party solutions as well to personalize their tech stacks. Its continuous data flow and connected experience means real estate professionals have the shared data, applications, and security they need to cover every step of what they do. One platform, one login, one experience, one set of contacts from lead to close.
Having worked at Lone Wolf I know what an incredible effort it has been to get Foundation to the market. Great to see that they have really focused on the design of the product. Super clean.
“This is the end result of that extensive research; a platform that goes beyond integrations, beyond connections, beyond a rebrand to create a real solution. From a single login to a modular design that allows real estate professionals to pick and choose the solutions they need, with shared data workflows that keep information consistent from lead to close and the latest in digital security, there’s nothing like this in the industry today—and it will transform the way real estate professionals work, now and into the future.”
Sean Wheeler, CTO of Lone Wolf Technologies
This has been a huge project and I’m loving what Lone Wolf has pulled off. Having acquired some of the most popular and widely adopted software in the real estate space, they have taken a fresh approach on how to create an end-to-end platform. Am I biased? Of course! It’s all because I know the team there is made up some of the most creative and talented people in the industry, people from HomeSpotter, Instanet, zipForm, Terradatum and W+R Studios.
I hear some of you say, “But, Greg, I thought you didn’t like all-in-one solutions?” I think that Lone Wolf’s CEO Jimmy Kelly said it best, “Real Estate Doesn’t Need More Software“. In a nutshell what he is saying real estate has a lot of point solutions; it needs what it already has to pull more weight. The industry wants its existing software to work together, and be more automated. What Lone Wolf is doing is creating a foundation (see what I did there) for their software (and also giving the flexibility to add other solutions) to let brokers and agents create the experience they want. Experience I believe is the key word here.
Got my hands on an Apple Vision Pro and made a quick video to see how Cloud CMA worked on the new headset. And guess what? It works! Check out the video below.
