Celebration, FL, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- La Rosa Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: LRHC) (“La Rosa” or the “Company”), a holding company for six agent-centric, technology-integrated, cloud-based, multi-service real estate segments, today announced the acquisition of the remaining 49% interest in its franchisee, La Rosa Realty Premier, LLC (“Realty Premier”), located in Orlando, Florida. This acquisition follows the Company’s initial purchase of 51% interest in December 2023, bringing La Rosa's total ownership of Realty Premier to 100%.

Realty Premier generated approximately $2.09 million in revenue and reported positive net income for 2023. The franchisee provides a range of residential and commercial real estate brokerage services and offers coaching and support services to agents on a fee basis.

Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa, commented, “Acquiring full ownership of Realty Premier is an important step in our growth strategy, strengthening our presence in the Orlando market and underscoring our commitment to empowering real estate agents with advanced technology and support. We’re excited to build on this momentum as we pursue our ambitious revenue targets for the coming year. Alongside acquiring our franchisees, we’re also exploring additional acquisition opportunities in the real estate sector. Recently, we announced a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire a real estate brokerage firm with over $19 million in revenue for 2023 and a network of more than 950 agents across multiple states. This potential acquisition aligns with our vision to deliver technology-driven real estate solutions, expand our market footprint, and enhance the value we bring to agents through innovative, integrated platforms."

“With a strategic focus on acquisitions and a rapidly growing agent base, we project an annualized revenue run rate of $100 million by the end of 2024. This forecast highlights our commitment to scaling operations and increasing market share. We expect to achieve profitability in 2025, supported by expanding revenue streams, integrating new agents and technology, and potential cost reductions from implementing our expense management system in the near future.”
