Q: Could you provide more details on the My Home Group acquisition? Did you approach them, or did they approach you? Also, how does this acquisition fit into your overall strategy? A: We were introduced to My Home Group through a real estate mergers and acquisition company. The initial discussions evolved into a merger due to shared values and strategic alignment. My Home Group has higher productivity in terms of transactions per agent, which is beneficial for us. Since launching our revenue share program, we've seen increased interest from other companies, which supports our goal of 25% agent growth annually.
Q: What are you doing differently in your recruiting efforts, and how are you supporting existing agents to remain productive? A: We've seen increased interest in our unique revenue share model, which offers both a flat fee and a traditional split. We're educating prospective agents about this model. Additionally, we're launching new branding and marketing programs to help agents grow their business. Our focus on recruiting higher-producing agents is beginning to show results, as seen in our October transaction numbers.
Q: Can you discuss the financial terms of the My Home Group acquisition and how future acquisitions might be structured? A: For competitive reasons, we won't disclose the total payment details. However, the cash component was minimal, with the majority of the purchase price in stock, paid over a few years. This structure aligns with our strategy for future acquisitions, as we aim for minimal cash outlay and focus on long-term value creation.
Q: Is the anticipated 25% agent growth starting soon, and will future acquisitions follow a similar payment structure? A: Yes, with the My Home Group acquisition, we're close to achieving that growth this year. We expect to see increased agent count starting in Q1 2025. Future acquisitions will likely follow a similar structure, with a focus on stock-based payments to align interests.
Q: You mentioned the acquisition would add $100 million in revenue in 2025. Can you elaborate on the assumptions behind this projection? A: My Home Group has higher productivity and transaction values, particularly in the Arizona market, which is a hot market. Their higher transaction price and productivity per agent will positively impact our overall performance, contributing to the projected $100 million in revenue.
