Our growth includes recent acquisitions of Stessa (financial and asset management software), RentPrep (tenant screening and placement service for landlords), and Mynd (property management platform for both retail and institutional investors). In 2025, Roofstock took an ownership stake in Casago (short‑term rental management services), expanding our platform to support both long‑term and short‑term rental investment services.
