Flyhomes has sold its consumer home search technology and related assets to The Real Brokerage, marking a major shift for the Seattle-based real estate startup as it focuses more narrowly on mortgage lending.
Real, a publicly traded company based in Miami, announced Tuesday that it acquired Flyhomes’ AI-powered home search portal and made a strategic equity investment to support Flyhomes’ transformation into a wholesale mortgage lender.
Flyhomes has raised around $200 million in equity funding since launching in 2016. The company gained attention with a product that gave buyers upfront funding to make more competitive offers, and created the “Buy Before You Sell” initiative in its early days as a rising star in Seattle’s startup scene.
Founded in 2014, Real went public in 2021. The acquisition bolsters its technology stack as it aims to simplify the home-buying process with AI-driven tools for both agents and consumers.
The company will also offer Flyhomes’ financing solutions through its One Real Mortgage subsidiary, giving Real’s network of agents access to more flexible mortgage products.
