into the future. We are just getting started. We have a superior
team, combining strong technology backgrounds and real estate
experience in every kind of real estate cycle, with the skills and
vision to operate as a highly capital-efficient company in our
industry. We are excited about the tremendous opportunity ahead of
us as more and more buyers and sellers opt for our digital-first
experience.”
