REX SECURES $10 MILLION TO SUPPORT CONTINUED BUSINESS GROWTH AND MARKET EXPANSION

$45 million accordion feature will enable direct-to-consumer real estate platform to expand technology and services

AUSTIN, Texas, March 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- REX, the only real estate technology company resetting traditional real estate on behalf of consumers,  announced today the securing of $10 million in funding from Insured technology financing pioneer, PIUS. The financing, which was based on REX's intellectual property, includes an accordion feature, providing REX the option to increase the amount to $45 million.

"Working with PIUS has been unique to any other financing facility, as we were able to expand our company's working capital, without equity dilution and at a lower cost, all on the strength of our own intellectual property," said Jack Ryan, CEO and co-founder of REX. "The financing will support REX's continued business growth and market expansion, including both our technology platform and home buyer services, as we uphold our mission to deliver a direct-to-consumer real estate solution for individuals across the country."

REX has emerged as the national leader in real estate reform, with the goal of eliminating fees, growing the U.S. real estate market, and saving Americans billions of dollars each year. REX is the only residential real estate firm that is direct-to-consumer, not direct-to-agent, and maintains a five-star rating on Zillow due to its tech platform and full-time workforce that is motivated by customer satisfaction, not commissions. REX recently launched Homes Plus, which provides customers cost savings and peace of mind after their purchase, by providing home maintenance, repairs, lawn care, moving and storage, all in one place. 

"REX Homes has built out an incredible suite of tech products and services, with its consumer-first model poised to disrupt the real estate market, using AI to learn quickly how to best serve its customers. With its addition of its Homes Plus program, REX is now providing exceptional service throughout the entire home ownership lifecycle," said Joe Agiato, CEO of PIUS. "Through its tech tools and a fully-integrated platform, REX is bringing a completely new real estate experience to today's consumers, and PIUS is excited to support REX in furthering that mission." 

PIUS provides a proprietary insurance product for growth-stage technology companies to secure better, more flexible financing options without dilution by insuring the debt's value, based on PIUS' evaluation of the company's intellectual property. The cost of capital is typically less than 10% overall, including the cost of insurance, with no warrants, extra fees, or prepayment penalties. Through PIUS' CLip Notes program, PIUS provides the insurance, brings the capital source via institutional investors, and monitors the transaction, providing a complete solution.
