Merit Capital Partners recently acquired The Liberty Group (“Liberty” or the “Company”) in partnership with Six Pillars Partners and the Company’s founder and President, Ken Bohan.

Liberty, founded in 1977 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a leading specialty temporary staffing and executive search firm focused on the multi-family real estate industry throughout the U.S. The Company fulfills on-site temporary staffing needs across various multi-family residential job functions, including property management, marketing, leasing, maintenance, accounting, and IT. Liberty’s search division focuses on highly skilled and experienced personnel, placing executive talent into multi-family corporate management positions which include the functions listed above along with asset management, development, construction and finance.

Over its more than 40-year history, Liberty has become well recognized as a trusted provider of high quality on-site staffing fulfilment and executive talent solutions to the country’s foremost real estate property managers, investors and developers.
