Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa, commented, “We are pleased to report a 119% increase in revenue for 2024 compared to 2023, and a 55% increase in Q4 2024 year-over-year compared to the same period in 2023. Gross profit also increased 110% to $6.0 million in 2024, driven by strategic acquisitions of real estate brokerage franchisees and growth in our agent network, which now exceeds 2,500 agents. Our scalable, agent-first brokerage model continues to attract top talent by offering flexible compensation options, including a revenue share program, a 100% commission structure with low fees, and additional income through ancillary services and technology solutions.
“We recently started expanding internationally with engagement of an area developer in Spain, unlocking new revenue opportunities and strengthening our global presence. In addition, we introduced LR Agent Advance, a new program that provides our agents with upfront access to pending commissions, supporting their growth while generating an additional recurring revenue stream for the Company.”
Mr. La Rosa continued, “Importantly, Nasdaq has granted us a 180-day extension to comply with the minimum bid price rule, giving us the necessary time to execute our strategic initiatives. We are on track to close our previously announced acquisition of a real estate brokerage firm, which generated $19 million in revenue in 2023 and, if consummated, is expected to bring a network of around 945 agents across multiple states. Significantly, our revenue forecast for 2025 revenue for $100 Million remains intact.
“Looking ahead, we are focused on achieving profitability in 2025 by expanding into new markets, acquiring additional brokerage firms, growing our agent base, and leveraging technology to drive operational efficiencies. We are confident in our strategy to deliver sustainable growth and maximize shareholder value,” concluded Mr. La Rosa.
The closings of the acquisitions mentioned in this press release are subject to, and contingent upon, the parties entering into their respective definitive agreements. There can be no assurances that these acquisitions will be consummated.
