With The Effective End Of The 6% Real Estate Commission Standard, reAlpha’s AI-Powered Homebuying Platform Hopes To Shake Up The Industry

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga The 6% commission standard on real estate deals is expected to be no more, potentially lowering the cost of owning a home. The change is part of a $418 million class-action lawsuit settlement against the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which was accused of inflating the fees paid to real estate agents. Thanks to the settlement, the commission is up for negotiation, which some estimate could result in a 25% to 50% decrease in commission fees that just last year cost Americans $100 billion. This change to the real estate market could also help pave the way for companies providing buyers with tools to streamline the homebuying process, such as reAlpha Tech Corp. (NASDAQ: AIRE). The Dublin, Ohio real estate technology company says it is experiencing strong growth thanks to the launch of its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered, commission-free home buying platform. Buying A Home Can Be Much Easier reAlpha’s AI platform guides users through every stage of the homebuying process and is currently available in 20 Florida counties, with plans for expansion. The platform leverages AI to help customers find homes, make an offer, get a mortgage and close the deal. With reAlpha, users pay zero buy-side commissions, and the company plans to make money by collecting closing costs of 1.2% to 2.47% via mortgage brokering, title and search and home insurance services. reAlpha’s launch comes as the AI market is taking off, forecast to grow to $1.8 trillion by 2030. Advances in machine learning and automation are enabling tech-focused companies to develop AI models that are disrupting many industries. Real estate could also use some innovation, and reAlpha is attempting to capitalize on that, hoping to disrupt the way Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) did with online investing or Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) did for travel. Growing Revenue For Q2 this year, reAlpha reported quarter-over-quarter revenue that rose 205%. The company also closed its buy of Naamche, Inc., a Nepal-based AI technology firm. This acquisition bolstered reAlpha's AI capabilities by adding 42 engineers, developers, analysts and UI/UX designers to its team, increasing the company’s full-time employee count from 15 to 57. reAlpha said the acquisition marks the beginning of the company’s acquisition-led growth strategy, which it said aims to revolutionize the real estate industry through cutting-edge technology. More To Come "We believe that the completion of the Naamche acquisition marked the second quarter of 2024 as the beginning of the ramp-up of our acquisition-led growth strategy," said Giri Devanur, CEO of reAlpha. "We are continuously looking for strategic acquisition opportunities that will advance our mission of bringing innovative technologies to the real estate industry. Naamche's acquisition is one of the early steps in this process." Other acquisitions include AiChat, a Singapore-based company that develops AI-powered conversational customer experience solutions and Hyperfast Title LLC., a title company that’s licensed to operate in Florida, Virginia and Tennessee. With it, reAlpha can offer title services through its platform. Now, reAlpha has added another key piece to its portfolio with the acquisition of Be My Neighbor, a mortgage broker licensed in 26 U.S. states. The company says this acquisition strengthens reAlpha’s AI-powered homebuying platform by incorporating mortgage lending and refinancing services, allowing for a more integrated and seamless customer experience. Be My Neighbor, founded by veterans, will continue to operate under its own brand while leveraging reAlpha's generative AI capabilities. This move is part of reAlpha's broader strategy to vertically integrate the homebuying process, which it says should enhance its commission-free platform and unlock new revenue streams. Looking toward the third quarter, reAlpha is forecasting quarter-over-quarter revenue growth of 140% to 170% in Q3, driven by the integration of its newly acquired companies, AiChat and Hyperfast Title. reAlpha said these acquisitions are expected to enhance its service offerings and contribute significantly to its overall revenue. Taking A Page From Constellation Software reAlpha is only just getting started. The company says it is on the hunt for even more acquisitions as it grows, taking a page from Constellation Software (TSX: CSU ), a Canadian software and services company that has a reputation for acquiring hundreds of software businesses. reAlpha says it hopes to position itself as a trailblazer in the real estate technology sector by strategically acquiring accretive real estate service and technology companies centered around its core platform. “We intend to capitalize on a significant industry shakeup created by the NAR lawsuit. We developed and launched the reAlpha platform after the settlement was announced on March 15, 2024. We are focused on continually improving the product and acquiring additional real estate service companies to unlock more potential sources of revenue,” said Devanur. “We look forward to sharing our growth and developments in the coming quarters, especially after the effects of the NAR settlement take effect on August 17, 2024,” he said. New CFO reAlpha recently announced the appointment of Brent Miller as their new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Miller, who officially took on the role on Aug. 19, 2024, will be responsible for all financial and accounting operations at reAlpha, reporting directly to the company's president and Chief Operating Officer, Mike Logozzo. Notably, Miller brings valuable experience from his previous role as CFO and treasurer at KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc., a commercial mortgage real estate investment trust. During his time there, Miller played a key role in shaping the REIT’s financial strategy, including capital raising and financial reporting. His background with KKR underscores his expertise and makes his appointment at reAlpha a significant development for the company.

National Land Realty Finds Acreage Prices Remain Stable Through First Semester

National Land Realty

National Land Realty (NLR), the nation's fastest-growing land brokerage firm specializing in farm, ranch, country estates, timber, recreational, and commercial development properties, has released its latest data on land sales across the United States. The report draws from NLR’s network of over 400 agents and brokers in 48 states to provide a year-to-date analysis of Q1 and Q2 agricultural land sales for 2024. It demonstrates stability in the national aggregate for average price per acre (PPA), while highlighting notable trends within outliers like Louisiana, Florida, and California. National Aggregate The data from NLR’s latest report showed that the average price per acre across the country remained relatively stable, having increased by only about 5% nationally. This comes in the wake of significant farmland appreciation over the past few years, with many parts of the country seeing record prices for farmland in 2023. “Land prices have remained high in spite of increased input costs and interest rates, indicating significant demand across the country for irrigated and available farmland. This is largely due to massive consumer demand for produce, meat, dairy, and feed,” said Ronnie Richardson, CEO at NLR. “While further increases are unlikely for the moment, I believe these values will remain strong for the foreseeable future—barring extensive drought, natural disasters, or an industry-shaking event akin to the COVID-19 pandemic.” Louisiana According to NLR, the data found that the average price per acre in Louisiana decreased by $10,866, primarily due to some of the larger landowners beginning to divest themselves of some farmland holdings. “Louisiana is largely farmland, where land values are influenced by the same forces as elsewhere: supply and demand. Price adjustments occur when production costs rise and commodity prices fall,” said Richardson. “Even with a slight decrease in price per acre, purchasing land remains attractive as divestments create opportunities for buyers to capitalize on economies of scale.” California Data revealed that California's average price per acre dropped by $12,226 over the past year—a significant 27% decline. This decrease is likely driven by a combination of high interest rates and low commodity prices for popular crops like almonds and walnuts. Since prices are relatively high in California overall, percentage-based factors like tax or interest-rate hikes hit the California market harder than they do other states. “Reports of an exodus from California real estate have little implications for the agricultural market, which remains generally unaffected by geopolitics. Taxes and interest rates are far more likely to influence the market,” said Richardson. “We do have a couple of large institutional investors looking to exit the California farmland market, but there are no buyers thus far. They may need to adjust their prices to match demand if they are serious about liquidating. With the average price per acre already down, I'd recommend watching the market closely and holding off on purchases for now." Florida In Florida, the average price per acre surged by $24,000 from 2023 to 2024, reflecting a remarkable 118% increase. This significant rise is driven primarily by the soaring demand for land in the state over the past year. Florida remains one of the top destinations for people moving to different states in the US, meaning this demand for available land in Florida isn’t likely to change anytime soon. “It's the same issue here: supply and demand,” said Richardson. “Even though the price per acre is up, I would still recommend buying land in Florida as demand continues to rise. I would focus on transitional properties in particular as more people continue to move into the state. The key to Florida is simple: demand is driving everything." Annex About National Land Realty National Land Realty (NLR) is the nation’s fastest growing real estate land brokerage company specializing in farm, ranch, country estates, timber, recreational, and commercial development properties. Highly regarded for its proprietary land touring technology, Land Tour 360 ®, as well as its GIS land mapping system, LandBase™, which catalogs land data in extremely detailed ways, the company makes it easy to view and zero in on the right property in the right place. Founded in Greenville, S.C. in 2007, NLR has more than 80 offices in 40 states. To learn more visit www.nationalland.com or call (855) 384-5263. Methodological Note The data in the report was derived from a compilation of land sales data provided by National Land Realty’s network of agents across the United States. The report compares 2023 sales data to sales data from the first half of 2024. For the first half of 2024, the data is based on 6,963 land transactions. Note to the editors A table with data for all states where National Land operates is available in the annex.

Why Trust Deed Investments Are Worth A Deeper Look

Ignite Funding

By James Blacker, Benzinga Find out more about trust deed investing by visiting the Ignite Funding website or text the word “Benzinga” to 702-919-4281 for additional information. Trust deeds can offer a lucrative investment opportunity in the real estate market, yet many investors hesitate to dive in. Below, we take a look at some of the common barriers and misconceptions that often deter people from capitalizing on this financial avenue, and how to make the most of them. Demystifying Trust Deeds One of the biggest reasons that people shy away from trust deed investing is that many see it as a complex topic. The legal and financial jargon, along with property evaluations, can seem intimidating at first. However, by taking time to learn the fundamental principles and understanding the process step-by-step, potential investors have the chance to uncover hidden opportunities for financial growth. A helpful way to view trust deeds is as a bridge connecting borrowers in need of funds with investors seeking passive income. This financial arrangement is secured by real estate assets, potentially making it a win-win situation for both parties. Companies like Ignite Funding act as the loan servicing agent for these investments. Debunking Common Misconceptions One of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to trust deeds is that they are high-risk investments and susceptible to market volatility. In reality, however, they are a secure investment backed by tangible assets and, therefore, can offer more stability than stocks. Another misconception is that trust deeds are only for experienced real estate investors. However, the fact is that they are very accessible to anyone who wants to diversify their portfolio and earn passive income, even if they don’t have a very large amount of capital to invest. Many people also falsely associate trust deeds with predatory lending. In truth, loans provided through companies like Ignite Funding don’t necessarily come with outlandish terms or sky-high interest rates, with many borrowers seeking the services of such companies for their reliability and flexibility. Benefits Of Trust Deed Investing Trust deeds offer a way to diversify your portfolio and a relatively secure investment with the potential for high returns, thanks to interest rates that surpass those of traditional savings accounts or bonds. Another of the key benefits is the passive income stream generated through these investments, which provides a stable revenue source without the need for active property management. Furthermore, they are backed by real estate collateral, which reduces the risk exposure compared to other investments. How To Start Trust Deed Investing A good place to start on your trust deed investment journey is to educate yourself on the basics of real estate financing and property-backed investments. Understanding the process and risks involved can give you the confidence to begin investing. You could also seek the advice of financial advisors or experienced investors, who can help you with your specific investment goals. Before investing with any company, however, it is important to perform due diligence, ensuring that you find out critical information such as their track record and whether they are regulated. Navigating Risks As with any investment, trust deed investments come with risks. These include borrower defaults and the quality of the underlying real estate collateral. To mitigate these risks, investors should conduct due diligence on the property and ensure that they work with a reputable broker such as Ignite Funding, which stays attuned to market dynamics and conducts comprehensive risk assessments to give your investments the greatest chance of success. Embracing The Trust Deed Journey Whatever the reasons that have prevented you from investing in trust deeds, with the right knowledge and guidance, these barriers can be overcome – unlocking the potential for financial stability and passive income.
