Our story Our team

Our mission is simple

We’re here to help apartment owners and operators build better communities through technology. To do that, we’ve reimagined the latest and greatest tech to work seamlessly in multifamily environments. To make a long story short: We build products that help you create the kind of community where people will love to live, work, and play.

Owners

We understand the needs of multifamily property owners because our founders are owners. Our products help you increase ROI, improve efficiencies, and elevate the resident experience.

Operators

By automating busywork, streamlining lead generation, and simplifying property management, we give apartment operators everything they need to focus on people, not processes.

Residents

We help set your multifamily property apart by giving residents access to technologies that simplify their day-to-day lives and make spending time at your property time well spent.

Get started

How did Quext get started?

Quext began like most great ideas do —
with a simple conversation.

We noticed a big problem with apartment technology.

When a group of industry experts and multifamily property owners got together in 2017, someone asked a seemingly harmless question: “Why are we still using all this outdated technology?” No one had a good answer, and it was about that time that half a dozen lightbulbs went off.

That gave us a crazy idea.

After doing a little digging, we realized that better apartment technology didn’t exist yet. We knew that the secret to building better communities was better technology — things like home automation, property-wide WiFi, and AI — but no solution fit our needs. The next thing we knew, we were asking a new question: “Why don’t we do it ourselves?”

So, we decided to transform smart apartment technology ourselves.

Since we started Quext, our team has developed a full range of cutting-edge technologies specifically designed for the multifamily environment. Today, we’re delivering game-changing solutions to apartment communities across the country, and they all start the same way that Quext did — with a conversation.

Meet the people behind the magic

When we set out to revamp the world of apartment technology, we knew we’d need a team of inventors, dreamers, technology wizards, and creative problem-solvers on our side. (Spoiler alert: We found them.)
