   1.                                                   Please revise your
graphic presentation on pages 5 and 54, and the surrounding text as
                                                        appropriate, to clarify
what the graphic is intended to depict, and your relationship to the
                                                        other companies whose
logos appear therein. It is unclear whether these are vendors,
                                                        clients or investees.
Please also clarify the significance of these parties to the company's
                                                        operation and assets,
and provide quantitative information, if available, to help investors
                                                        understand whether they
are material or representative. Lastly, please ensure that the
                                                        graphic presentation is
of high enough resolution and type size that all information is
                                                        legible.

Risk Factors, page 28

2.       We note that you intend to invest in minority stakes in PropTech
partners. Please tell us
         what consideration you have given to including a risk factor regarding
compliance with
         the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Also in your
         disclosure on page 53, please explain who your stakeholders are that
benefit from your
         investment in these partners, and why an investment is preferred or is
needed in order to
         use their services, as opposed to maintaining only a vendor or other
contractual
         relationship.
Risks Associated with our Real Estate Services Business, page 29

3.       We note your statement that your business is subject to the federal
government's monetary
         policies. Please revise this risk factor to explain more specifically
the material risks that
         monetary policy poses to your business.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Information, page
62

4.       We note that you have included pro forma condensed combined
consolidated financial
         information for the last twelve months ended June 30, 2021 because
unusual events,
         primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused the most
recent twelve
         month period to be more representative of normal operations. Please
clarify your basis in
         GAAP or other authoritative literature that indicates that
presentation of such financial
         information for the period chosen is appropriate.
Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, page 68

5.       We note that you disclose material events associated with the Covid-19
pandemic, and
         positive trends in the housing market in this section. Please revise
as necessary to ensure
         that you have fully addressed any other known trends, events and
uncertainties that may
         have a material impact on your liquidity, capital resources, and
business operations.
Corporate Governance, page 86

6.       We note that you do not discuss director independence in your
Corporate Governance
         section. Please revise this section and identify each director that is
independent under the
         independence standards that are applicable to you, and to address all
of the disclosures
         required by Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K.
Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions, page 117

7.       Please ensure that your descriptions of the exclusive jurisdiction
provision here and in the
         risk factor on page 46 are consistent. For example, we note that the
risk factor states that
         claims under the Securities Act may be brought in Delaware Chancery
Court or in federal
         court, while the discussion on page 117 states that they must be
brought in federal court.
         Please also ensure that your charter, when filed, is consistent with
the description of this
