PURE Property Management and HomeRiver Group Merge, Secure $80M to Create Nation's Largest SFR Property Manager Local teams are the heart of PURE HomeRiver, and the company is committed to further expanding its network of hands-on, in-market professionals.

The PURE HomeRiver platform combines PURE's AI-native technology and unified operations with HomeRiver's national footprint and institutional-grade servicing infrastructure. "PURE HomeRiver isn't just about our desire to establish a nationwide brand, but a deliberate strategy to harness a superset of unified operational data for our AI-driven platform to reduce complexity and drive better experiences at scale," said Joseph Polverari, Co-founder and CEO of PURE HomeRiver. "Our AI-native platform features specialized, proprietary training that is orders of magnitude broader and directly on point for SFR, deepening our ability to anticipate and eliminate the inefficiencies that cost investors money or increase the risk of disappointing rental experiences. This is about getting smarter, faster." PGIM, the global asset management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (PFI), served as the primary lender for the platform.

We're looking ahead to our next 100 acquisitions as we accelerate national expansion with the aim of becoming the first nationwide household name in property management." The merger represents a shift toward a more modern renting and investing experience that delivers a full-stack of lifecycle services, including acquisition, construction and rehab, leasing, management, accounting, maintenance, portfolio optimization, financial and insurance products, and disposition guidance. "The intent of combining technology, scale, and operational efficiency is that it clears a path for innovation to create more value for our clients and residents," said Mike Catalano, Co‑founder, President, and COO. "We're excited for this to be transformative with technology and unified operations handling the complexity in the background so our local teams can do what they do best: take care of properties and people."
