Zonda Expands Investment into the Envision New Home Design Center Platform with New Upgrades
Zonda acquires Phoenix-based real estate consulting firm to expand reach in a growing market.
We’re thrilled to announce that Zonda has acquired Belfiore Real Estate Consulting, a leading full-service residential market research firm based in the Phoenix area.
Both of our companies share a passion for helping customers access expert advice and builder data for real-time market clarity. This acquisition further accelerates Zonda’s reach throughout Arizona and enhances data and advisory services for homebuilders currently building or looking to build in the Grand Canyon State.
The Arizona market has not only recovered from a COVID-19-related slump but is now thriving due to buyer migration and low mortgage rates. This demand for housing has created a great opportunity for homebuilders and generates a clear need for robust offerings only we can provide. Together, the companies will expand current offerings for homebuilding partners to unleash the most complete view of where the market is headed and clear, actionable information to help customers make smarter decisions and grow their businesses.
Seasoned industry expert Jim Belfiore brings more than 20 years of industry experience to the Zonda portfolio. He founded Belfiore Real Estate Consulting in 2006 and, along with his team, helped grow the company into a top full-service residential research firm in the Phoenix area.
After being purchased and merged in late 2018 by MidOcean Partners, Hanley Wood | Meyers Research focused on a seamless and streamlined approach for shared clients to access housing data and information. The company acquired Bird.i, a satellite imagery, and artificial intelligence (AI) technology company, earlier this year further evolving the brand into a leading data, research, and technology company. In October 2020, Hanley Wood | Meyers Research rebranded to Zonda.
Zonda serves a diverse cross-category audience, including homebuilders, land brokers and developers, mortgage lenders, finance, building product manufacturers, and many more.
