November 21, 2019 — Software Equity Group (SEG) announces its client, Multifamily Insurance Partners, a leader in resident insurance programs for the US multifamily rental market, has been acquired by MRI Software, a global leader in real estate software solutions. SEG served as exclusive advisor to Multifamily Insurance Partners.

The acquisition will enable property owners and operators to close insurance gaps and minimize loss by implementing resident insurance compliance programs for apartment renters.
