“This acquisition reflects our commitment to delivering best-in-class service for homeowners and tenants alike while strengthening our presence in key growth markets,” said Matthew Whitaker, CEO of Evernest.

Industry analysts have noted that the Tampa rental market has been experiencing sustained growth, driven by population influx and strong demand for high-quality rental homes.

“We know our homeowners and tenants will be in good hands with Evernest,” said Andrew Alexander Pappas, CEO of Alpha Alternatives. “Their resources, technology, and national reach will allow us to provide even better service to our clients and continue to grow in a competitive market.”

This acquisition is part of Evernest’s ongoing growth. With over 40 property management companies acquired across the United States, Evernest is rapidly growing to become one of the largest residential property management firms in the country, offering boots on the ground property management, in-house maintenance, and technology-driven customer service.

About Evernest

Evernest is a national real estate investment and residential property management firm operating in more than 50 markets across the country. It is one of the nation’s largest single-family and small multifamily property management providers. The company manages around 20,000 homes for over 6,000 owners, brokers more than 500 investment deals annually, and has now been named to the Inc. 5000 list nine of the last ten years.

Evernest also announced it has secured $15 million in strategic funding to accelerate its vision of building the most advanced, tech-enabled home services platform dedicated to serving the needs of residential rental property owners, a 36-million unit market in the U.S. The investment was led by LL Funds, a Philadelphia-based private equity firm that invests in high-growth finance and technology companies and was one of Poplar’s strategic investors.

“The combination of this acquisition and LL Funds’ strategic investment supercharges our vision of simplifying rental property ownership for the millions of rental property owners throughout the U.S.,” said Matthew Whitaker, Evernest Founder and CEO. “Poplar’s addition gives us a presence in six new states, including the West Coast, enabling us to bring additional operating efficiencies to our property owners. LL Funds’ investment allows us to operate from a position of strength, enabling us to scale, increase market density, and deliver profitability to our clients at a pace that sets us apart in the industry.” 

Now with a presence in 50 markets, Evernest combines local expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver best-in-class property management services to the owners of rental properties. With a focus on maximizing operational efficiency, driving superior investment returns, and delivering an unparalleled experience, Evernest offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored to support every phase of rental property ownership, including brokerage, repairs and maintenance, renovation, insurance, and lending to a diverse client base, ranging from individual investors to institutional stakeholders. 

Founded in 2014 by Greg Toschi, Rico Mok, and Chuck Hattemer, Poplar became one of the nation’s largest property managers by offering individual investors and multifamily property owners tools and services typically only available to large institutional investors. Poplar grew to serve owners in 17 states, including six where Evernest did not have a presence–California, Oregon, Illinois, Nevada, South Carolina, and Washington. 

“By joining forces with Evernest—renowned for their operational excellence—we’re uniting more than two decades of property management experience,” Toschi said. “We're excited about combining the two companies’ local property management operations and robust technology products. This comes at a time when the proptech sector is seeing increased investment in automation and AI-powered solutions for property management.”

As part of the acquisition, Hattemer joins Evernest to lead growth initiatives and help ensure seamless integration. 

“Evernest has demonstrated its ability to grow efficiently while offering unparalleled value to property owners and residents,” said Jim Morrissey, Partner at LL Funds. “The combination of Evernest and Poplar Homes creates a formidable platform that’s well-positioned to lead the industry into a new era of innovation.”

Knowing that our clients and residents are in great hands is paramount to us, and Evernest checks all the boxes. This move reinforces Picket's focus on our core strength-building premium technology and data for SFR investors."
