Proxio Acquires PCMS Consulting

Proxio, Inc., the Silicon Valley-based provider of multilingual marketing and collaborative networking solutions to the international real estate industry, has acquired Miami-based PCMS Consulting.

Jose Perez, founder and President of PCMS Consulting, will become an equity partner in Proxio as well as Executive Vice President of Global Sales. Perez will spearhead an aggressive expansion of Proxio's global solutions for brokerages, developers, MLSs, and media companies.

Perez founded PCMS in 2007 to advise brokers on how they could re-invent their businesses and transform their brokerages into a model of leadership, adaptability and accessibility. "When Proxio approached me about helping with their expansion plans, I was impressed with their approach to international real estate, collaborative networking, and project marketing. The synergies were too good to pass up," Perez says. "This gives PCMS an expanded set of offerings for its brokerage clientele, while providing me the opportunity to accelerate the growth of an international company taking off in multiple markets."

"We are thrilled that Jose has joined our senior leadership team," says Janet Case, co-founder and CEO of Proxio. "Jose's deep industry experience and proven track record at both Realogy and PCMS allows us to quickly leverage his expertise to build a senior sales and marketing team at Proxio. At the same time, PCMS clients gain international options and access to innovative technology solutions for serving multicultural consumers; we're happy to welcome them to Proxio's global family of brokerage, association, and MLS partners."

PCMS will be operated as a subsidiary of Proxio, with Perez remaining as President. Industry veteran and long-time PCMS collaborator, Elaine Kelleher, will serve as vice president of sales for PCMS. She will oversee the company's internet marketing, post-close marketing, recruiting and business consulting solutions.

Robert Moles, Chairman of Intero Real Estate Services, is an industry leader with relationships with both companies. "Intero was PCMS' first client. We have enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Jose and his team. We were also early Proxio adopters and equally impressed with Janet and Proxio's robust platform. This is a perfect marriage that will benefit everyone involved and present brokers with exciting new opportunities."
