Redefy Holdings, Inc., Announces the Buyback of Redefy East Coast Franchise Operations

DENVER, Feb. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Redefy Holdings, Inc., a disruptive technology company that is transforming the real estate market, today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to buy back some of the company’s east coast franchise operations. These operations include Redefy franchise offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois and Ohio. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

These franchise operations were created in January 2015, as part of an effort to quickly grow Redefy’s footprint across the U.S. With the company’s improved capital structure, strong balance sheet and profitable operations, the Redefy is now in a position to bring these operations back into the company in an effort to create a more consistent customer experience and national brand.

“This is an important step in our effort to become the national leader in the technology-enabled, flat-fee, full-service real estate space,” said Chris Rediger, Chief Executive Officer of Redefy Holdings, Inc. “We are pleased to be in a position to continue to serve customers in these states and help them sell their homes, while keeping more of their hard-earned equity in their pocket.”

Redefy seeks to capitalize on the growth in the emerging online real estate market in the U.S., as the more tech-savvy buyers and sellers demand alternatives to the high fees associated with traditional real estate transactions. For the first time in 2016, the percentage of buyers who found the home they purchased themselves online surpassed 50%, exceeding the 34% who say they found their home through an agent, according to NAR’s 2016 profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. This compares with 2001 statistics where those numbers were 8% and 48%, respectively.
