iApartments today announced the appointment of Derek Matson as Senior Vice President of Sales. Matson will lead the company’s sales organization as iApartments expands its smart apartments platform and broadens its reach among multifamily owners and operators seeking solutions for operating performance, asset protection, and a better-connected living experience.

Matson brings more than two decades of multifamily sales leadership experience, including senior leadership roles at Valet Living. During his tenure, he was fortunate to be part of a leadership team that helped grow the business from approximately 300,000 units to more than 2.2 million units. His appointment reunites him with iApartments CEO Dave Magrisso, who co-founded Valet Living and previously worked with Matson during this period of significant growth.

“Derek is a disciplined sales leader with a proven track record of building high-performing teams, earning trust, and helping organizations scale,” said Dave Magrisso, Co-founder and CEO of iApartments. “I hired Derek at Valet Living, where he became one of our top sales leaders as we pioneered the industry’s first amenity-as-a-service offering which is now a ubiquitous nationwide platform. I’ve seen firsthand the standard he brings. As the market increasingly demands technology that delivers measurable value, Derek is the right leader to expand our reach and strengthen how we serve multifamily owners and operators.”

iApartments provides smart home packages and a lightweight building operations platform for multifamily portfolios, helping owners and operators improve performance across operations, asset protection, and resident experience. The platform centralizes smart home device management, energy optimization, leak detection, keyless access, and other property-wide automations, making it easier for teams to manage communities with greater consistency and control. iApartments continues to invest in platform innovation, automation, and AI-driven capabilities designed to help customers operate more efficiently and effectively at scale.

After more than 10 years at Valet Living, Matson said the opportunity to join iApartments stood out for both the strength of the platform and the company’s market position.

“iApartments has built a strong foundation and is delivering meaningful value to the multifamily industry,” said Derek Matson, Senior Vice President of Sales at iApartments. “The company has a clear vision, a strong team, and advanced technology that addresses real operational needs for today’s portfolios. I’m excited to join at this stage, reconnect with Dave, and help scale the sales organization for the next phase of growth.”

Matson joins iApartments at a time of continued momentum for the company, as multifamily owners and operators place greater emphasis on technologies that improve portfolio performance while also supporting resident satisfaction.

“Multifamily owners and operators want partners that can execute, innovate, and deliver long-term value,” Magrisso added. “That is where Derek excels, and that is the standard we are building at iApartments.”
