About
MRI Software is an enterprise-grade real estate technology platform that delivers intelligent, open, and connected solutions for property owners, operators, and occupiers across the globe. At its core is the MRI Agora platform, which embeds AI for real estate directly into property workflows — enabling organizations to turn big data into better action. The platform covers the full real estate lifecycle: multifamily and commercial property management, accounting and financials, investment management, affordable and public housing, facilities and energy management, marketing and leasing, resident payments, risk and fraud management (including ID verification and resident screening), and end-to-end lease management with lease accounting and abstraction. MRI's built-in business intelligence and reporting suite provides deep analytics and market data, while its IWMS software and footfall analytics tools support workplace and facilities decision-making. An extensive partner ecosystem of 400+ integrations gives real estate businesses the flexibility to customize their tech stack. With 23 million units and 5.5 million leases managed on the platform, MRI Software is purpose-built for enterprise real estate organizations — from large multifamily operators and commercial landlords to healthcare systems, government agencies, and educational institutions. It is best suited for mid-to-large property management companies that need a scalable, AI-augmented platform to reduce costs, ensure compliance, and maximize NOI.
