September 30, 2021 – Dallas, TX – Elm Street Technology, LLC (“Elm Street Technology”), a leading provider of residential real estate technology and marketing solutions, today announced the acquisition of OutboundEngine (“OutboundEngine”), a marketing automation software company based in Austin, Texas. The acquisition of OutboundEngine complements and expands Elm Street’s Elevate platform, which provides an end-to-end suite of real estate technology and marketing services.

“Elm Street Technology and OutboundEngine share a similar vision and culture, which we are confident will make this a powerful combination,” said Prem Luthra, President and CEO of Elm Street Technology. “Both of our companies are striving to create a streamlined, simplified user experience for the real estate community and complementary industries. Joining forces allows us to collectively focus our attention on creating a true ‘one-stop shop’ for all aspects of real estate marketing and productivity.”

Elm Street Technology’s Elevate platform, which aims to maximize real estate professionals’ business efficiency by providing a single vendor and point of contact, is currently used by tens of thousands of real estate agents, teams and brokerages across the United States and Canada.

“We are in a time of sweeping digital change and customer-focused product evolution,” stated Marc Pickren, CEO of OutboundEngine. “OutboundEngine’s ability to align with a progressive and forward-thinking company like Elm Street Technology will empower us to evolve our products and services at an aggressive pace that’s never been seen in the real estate sector.”

“Not only does OutboundEngine’s tech stack add an additional layer of opportunity for our current real estate client-base, they also are focused on servicing a larger audience segment such as mortgage and lending,” adds Prem Luthra. “As we expand more aggressively into these markets in 2022, an alliance between our organizations was an obvious choice and we’re thrilled to welcome the entire team into the Elm Street Technology story.”
