Berlin, 15.06.2020 – Homeday, the brokerage firm financed by Project A, will receive a further 40 million euros. Axel Springer SE and Purplebricks are investing and expanding their shares.

"As a partner and investor from the very beginning with Axel Springer SE and Purplebricks, we are extremely pleased about the impressive development of Homeday," says Uwe Horstmann, partner and managing director of Project A.

"Project A and Homeday have had a particularly close relationship for a long time,” Horstmann continues. “We have not only accompanied the company financially, but Project A has supported Homeday in many areas such as the development of marketing or business intelligence. We also provided operational support for technological and product-related development."

Digital brokerage solutions have been revolutionizing the real estate market for several years now, and Homeday was able to increase its brokerage orders in 2019 by 515 percent compared to the previous year. To date, Homeday has brokered real estate valued at around 3 billion euros.

"Hybrid brokers digitalize the entire brokerage process of a property and thus ensure massive savings in effort and costs for all parties involved. We see this as a major milestone in the digital transformation of the real estate industry," says Uwe Horstmann.
