Increasing agent count of franchisee by 55% post-acquisition
Reaffirms target of generating $100 million in annualized revenue as a 2024 exit run rate
Celebration, FL, May 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- La Rosa Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: LRHC) ("La Rosa" or the "Company"), a holding company for five agent-centric, technology-integrated, cloud-based, multi-service real estate segments, today announced that it has completed an acquisition transaction and now holds a 51% interest in the Company's franchisee - La Rosa Realty Success LLC ("Success"), located in Apopka, Florida.
Success generated revenue of $0.5 million in 2023. The franchisee provides residential and commercial real estate brokerage services. It also provides coaching and support services to agents on a fee basis.
Joe La Rosa, CEO of the Company, commented, "The acquisition of Success is expected to not only increase our revenue but also enhance our margins through improved operating efficiencies and economies of scale as we integrate it into La Rosa. Prior to the acquisition, Success had 33 agents. Concurrent with the acquisition, we added 18 agents, representing a 55% increase. By offering agents a choice between a revenue share model and an annual fee-based model with 100% commissions, we anticipate an accelerated trend of agents moving from traditional high-cost brokerages to our more efficient, high-value model. We continue to grow revenue organically, and as we continue acquiring franchisees, we expect significant additional contributions to our revenue growth throughout 2024. We believe that we are well on our way towards achieving our target of an annualized revenue run rate of $100 million by the end of 2024, with profitability expected in 2025."
