14. Related Party Transactions
The Company has entered into a number of commercial agreements with related parties, which management believes provide the Company with products or services that are beneficial to its commercial objectives. Often these products and services have been tailored to the Company’s specific needs or are part of new pilot programs, both for the Company and the counterparty, for which there are not clear alternative vendors offering comparable services to compare pricing with. It is reasonable to assume that none of these related party commercial agreements were structured at arm’s length and therefore may be beneficial to the counterparty.
TheNumber—The Company originally entered into a data analytics services agreement in August 2016 with TheNumber, LLC (“TheNumber”), an entity affiliated with both Vishal Garg, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and 1/0 Real Estate.
In September 2021, the Company and TheNumber entered into a technology integration and license agreement. The listed services provided by TheNumber are lead generation, market rate analysis, lead growth analysis, property listing analysis, automated valuation models, and financial risk analysis. Both parties agreed to jointly develop all aspects of this program, and the agreement provides for the utilization of TheNumber employees by the Company. In January 2025, the agreement was extended for an additional year. The services provided by TheNumber are not integral to the Company’s technology platform and amounts incurred are not material to the Company. In connection with these agreements, the Company paid expenses of $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively, which are included within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company included a payable of $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Notable—In previous years, the Company or subsidiaries of the Company, entered into several agreements (herein referred to as the “Notable Agreements”) with Notable Finance LLC (“Notable”), an entity in which Vishal Garg, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and 1/0 Real Estate (an entity affiliated with Vishal Garg), collectively hold a
majority ownership interest. The Notable Agreements included products such as a consumer lending program, a non-revolving personal line of credit, and other financial products which were offered to borrowers of the Company. The Notable Agreements also included the ability for the Company to purchase up to $20.0 million of unsecured home improvement loans underwritten and originated by Notable for the Company’s customers.
During 2024, the Company decided to cease offering the products and services provided via the Notable Agreements. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $2.5 million and $4.2 million of unsecured home improvement loans purchased from Notable, which are included within mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Notable will continue to provide servicing for the loans purchased from Notable that remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Other Related Party Services—The Company has relationships with 1/0 Capital LLC and Zethos Inc. (doing business as “True Work”), companies affiliated with Vishal Garg, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which provide services to the Company varying from data analytics to information technology support services. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an immaterial amount and $0.1 million, respectively, in relation to these services, which are included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company included a payable of an immaterial amount for both the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
RSU Grants for Consulting Services—In November 2025, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which vest only upon the satisfaction of certain performance- and time-based vesting conditions, to Prabhu Narasimhan and Harit Talwar, members of the Company’s Board of Directors, in consideration for consulting services provided to the Company. The consulting services were provided outside of, and in addition to, their duties as members of the Board of Directors. The RSU grants were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and were not issued as compensation for board membership. The consulting services provided by Messrs. Talwar and Narasimhan relate to strategic advisory and other operational initiatives of the Company. Management believes the services provided by Messrs. Talwar and Narasimhan are beneficial to the Company’s commercial and strategic objectives. In connection with these RSU grants, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is included within compensation and benefits on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
