If you’re like me, you may have come across a few Grammarly ads and commercials over the past few months. Grammarly, touts itself as the ‘The World’s Best Grammar Checker’. The question is, do real estate professionals need Grammarly?

We are excited to share that Lone Wolf has been named to the Branham300 list of Canada’s leading Information and Communication Technology (ICT) companies for the seventh consecutive year!

Sitting at 105, Lone Wolf is up 68 spots up from our initial appearance on the list in 2011.

The Branham300 – compiled by the Branham Group Inc. – is an annual listing of Canada’s top ICT companies, as found in the following major listings:
