ACHIEVEMENTS

“In 2022, we devoted a lot of effort in pursuing our accelerated growth strategic plan put in place last year, having had to use creativity to deal with hostile real estate and stock markets. We are more than satisfied with the results obtained so far, having been able to complete many important strategic acquisitions throughout the year as well as HomeVisit in October 2022. Those results are reflected particularly by significant sales growth, the optimization/harmonization of our activities, which should result in a significant improvement in our operating margins, greater expertise and an improved and unparalleled range of products and services. Today, we have a unique and diverse portfolio of marketing technology solutions, a comprehensive photography agency management system, and a team of qualified and dedicated real estate photographers in North America that allow us to be able to offer our services a everywhere in North America, to optimize the management of our activities, to differentiate ourselves from the competition and to encourage other businesses to join our Group, whether as a franchisee or an acquisition. We also have a new partner, CoreLogic, ready to help and support us in achieving our growth objectives,” said Ghislain Lemire, President and CEO of Urbanimmersive.
