La Rosa Holdings Announces Intent to Acquire Real Estate Brokerage Firm with Over 950 Agents and More Than $19.0 Million in Revenue for 2023
September 17 2024 - 8:30AM
La Rosa Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: LRHC) (“La Rosa” or the
“Company”), a holding company for six agent-centric,
technology-integrated, cloud-based, multi-service real estate
segments, today announced that it has entered into a non-binding
Letter of Intent to acquire a real estate brokerage firm with over
950 agents and offices in multiple states. The firm also offers a
proprietary cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform
tailored for real estate agents and generated more than $19.0
million in revenue for 2023.
Joe La Rosa, CEO of the Company, commented,
“This potential strategic acquisition aligns with our vision of
advancing technology-driven real estate solutions, expanding our
market presence, and providing agents with greater value through
innovative, integrated platforms. If this acquisition is
consummated, the brokerage firm's advanced SaaS platform would play
a pivotal role in driving our continued innovation and value
delivery to our agents. By integrating this sophisticated
technology into our operations, we would be able to offer agents
enhanced flexibility and efficiency in managing their day-to-day
activities. We believe that this upgraded capability would
streamline their workflows, reduce administrative burdens, and
optimize their productivity. As a result, agents would be better
equipped to respond to client needs swiftly and effectively,
providing a higher level of service. Additionally, the brokerage
firm operates in several states where we are not currently present,
so once consummated this potential acquisition may provide us with
valuable opportunities to introduce our ancillary services, such as
title insurance, property management, and other complementary
offerings, to new markets. By entering new regions, we would
increase our service footprint and further enhance our ability to
address diverse client needs across a broader geographic area.”
“We recently announced that we have onboarded
over 400 agents since June 1, 2024, demonstrating significant
growth and interest in our platform. Our goal is to exceed 4,000
agents by year-end, and we believe this acquisition, once
consummated, can help us achieve that milestone. We expect that the
addition of this brokerage firm and its extensive network would
substantially boost our agent count and enhance our overall market
presence. With our strategic focus on acquisitions and the rapid
expansion of our agent base, we are projecting an annualized
revenue run rate of $100 million by the end of 2024. This forecast
reflects our commitment to scaling our operations and capturing a
larger share of the market. We anticipate achieving profitability
in 2025, supported by our growing revenue streams and efficient
integration of new agents and technology. We believe that our
ongoing efforts to expand our network and optimize our services are
key drivers of our financial and operational goals, positioning us
for sustained success in the coming years,” concluded Mr. La
Rosa.
The consummation of the acquisition is subject
to, and contingent upon, the execution of a definitive agreement
and other related transaction documents by the parties, corporate
approval and customary closing conditions. There can be no
assurances that the acquisition will be consummated.
