Brian There: Thank you Courtney, let's start with a quick look at Q1 results.
Brian There: Then I'll share how our continued efforts are laying the foundation. So we're built for today's environment and ready to accelerate as volume returns to more typical levels.
Brian There: Q1, we met the midpoint of our revenue guidance driven by a balanced mix of offerings. Our cash offer program performed as expected, while our asset light services, including the BTB renovate business direct plus buyer program and age of partnership program contributed significantly to the top and bottom line.
Brian There: Highlighting the strength of our renovated business, we delivered a record quarter generating $5 3 million in revenue, representing an annualized run rate of approximately 20 million.
Brian There: This marks the highest quarterly total since the launch of the product and further solidifies renovate as a key driver of growth going forward.
Brian There: And today, we're excited to announce a new partnership with auction Dot com all prepared renovate will become a preferred provider of renovation services for buyers on their platform from local community developers to large institutions.
Brian There: It is a meaningful step forward as we help buyers transport properties and the move in ready homes expand our renovation business and deliver greater value to buyers sellers and communities across the country.
Brian There: As we scale renovate and strength of our core offerings. We're also prioritizing diversification through high margin revenue streams, streamlining operations and managing resources with discipline.
Brian There: Together. These efforts are positioning us well to reach positive adjusted EBITDA and drive sustainable long term growth.
Brian There: The housing market continues to be shaped by sustained macroeconomic pressures that had been building for some time.
Brian There: Elevated mortgage rates and persistent affordability challenges have kept transaction volumes near historic lows, and new tariff developments or adding a fresh uncertainty and anxiety for consumers way major financial decisions.
Brian There: These headwinds are not new they've been unfolding over an extended period, but their impact is becoming even more visible across the housing sector.
Brian There: Higher borrowing costs limited affordable inventory and broader economic uncertainty are all contributing to greater caution among buyers and sellers.
Brian There: Although the Avaya this directly impacted overall transaction flow we've maintained a strong focus on managing our top of funnel.
Brian There: If demand for the cash offer continues to grow offer requests rose, 33% quarter over quarter and website traffic steadily increased month over month, showing that homeowners are actively seeking out the certainty and control we provide.
Brian There: The rise in organic consumer activity also help lower our cost per lead reinforcing the strength of our model and brand.
Brian There: Our commitment to providing the best way to buy and sell a home has never wavered, regardless of market conditions. Since 2015, we built our business around the strength of our foundational cash offer while continually introducing new solutions that give customers more control clarity and confidence.
Brian There: That Michigan continues today driving a series of purposeful updates aimed to enhancing the customer experience and expanding the value we deliver alongside our agent partners.
Brian There: It starts with how we set our offers.
Powered by proprietary data machine learning and real time market trends, our citrus value technology generates offer ranges in minutes and allows sellers to schedule inspections on their terms, reducing friction and create a smoother experience.
Brian There: We've also made the inspection process faster and more efficient and once the contract is signed Pricewise kicks in our commitment that the offer won't change, giving sellers added confidence.
Brian There: After rolling out these improvements in Q4, we saw immediate traction.
Brian There: That momentum continued into Q1 with thousands of living room appointments a strong sign our approach is working well. This process has been deployed through direct channels. It's laying the groundwork to extend the same experience to our agent partners building a framework for better performance stronger conversion and product expansion.
Brian There: This is just the beginning and we're energized by what's ahead as we enhance our solutions or unlocking new ways for customers to take control of their journey.
Brian There: And creating even more opportunities for agent partners to thrive alongside us.
Brian There: Before I turn the call over to Peter to cover the financials I wanted to take a moment to highlight our recent announcement we're excited about.

Brian There: She will serve as the chair of the audit Committee and is a member of the nominating and governance Committee.
Brian There: Her strategic insight and deep financial expertise will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our foundation and execute on our long term vision.
Brian There: In summary, we're executing with focus and attention by strengthening our cash offer customer journey expanding high margin services.
Brian There: Laying a strong foundation so were not only operating for today's market, but positioned to accelerate as transaction volumes normalize.
Brian There: With a disciplined approach to operations and a growing set of flexible customer first solutions built around our cash offer we're positioning to offer pad to capture future demand deliver stronger performance and drive sustainable long term growth.
Peter: With that I'll turn it over to Peter.

Peter: Over the past several months, we've remained focused on strengthening the business to thoughtful cost efficiencies operational improvements and targeted process enhancements in April we implemented significant changes expected to drive further operating expense reductions throughout the remainder of 2025.
Peter: Our refined customer experience process is also accelerating response times, resulting in higher customer engagement and inspection volume.
Peter: These initiatives support our broader strategy of growing revenue on a more efficient foundation, ensuring financial resilience across a range of market conditions.
Peter: At the end of the first quarter, we held 671 homes in inventory with only 13% aged over 180 days and not under contract and improvement from 22% at year end.
Peter: This progress is expected to support higher margins in Q2. In addition, we have been selectively ramping up acquisition volumes by focusing on targeted buy boxes and stronger market segments.
Peter: Setting us up for increased home sales and better alignment with seasonal trends and market dynamics.
Peter: During the first quarter, we acquired 454 homes, an 18% increase from the fourth quarter consistent with our disciplined approach to inventory management.
Peter: While our cash off of our business remains a key driver of revenue or asset light services, including renovate direct plus and the agent partnership program have become an increasingly meaningful contributor to margin.
Peter: Over the past year more than 40% of our contribution profit. After interest has come from asset light services a trend that continued in the first quarter.
Peter: First quarter revenue totaled $161 million in line with guidance with 460 homes sold revenue declined 8% quarter over quarter in homes sold decreased 9%, primarily reflecting the strategic reduction in acquisition pace during the middle and latter part of last year net.
Peter: Net loss for the quarter was $15 1, million% to 14% improvement compared to the same period in 2024.
Peter: Homes sold in the first quarter had an average time to cash of 165 days consistent with our expectations following acquisition adjustments in the second half of 2024.
Peter: With the trough of the inventory transition behind US, we anticipate sequential improvements in time to cash throughout the second quarter and into the back half of the year.
Peter: Gross margin for the quarter was six 5% generating $10 5 million in gross profit.
Peter: Operating expenses, excluding property related costs totaled $16 4 million or $1 7 million sequential improvement and then the 11 4 million year over year reduction driven by improved advertising effectiveness expansion of the agent partnership program and ongoing cost management efforts.
Peter: Through our relentless focus on cost efficiency, we've taken significant steps towards profitability over the past 24 months, we have reduced annual operating expenses by approximately $115 million and we continue to make strong progress in 2025 by identifying and removing additional costs.
Peter: You should anticipate further improvements based on the actions we executed in April and those still underway as we maintain our disciplined focus on cost and process efficiencies we will.
Peter: To provide additional updates on these efforts next quarter.
Peter: Adjusted EBITDA loss for the first quarter was $7 8 million, a sequential improvement of 32% or $3 7 million.
Peter: As of quarter end unrestricted cash totaled $31 million with total liquidity exceeding $60 million when including the net value of our carried inventory.
Peter: I also want to highlight that we are making continued progress on capital market opportunities beyond our core asset back facilities with active discussions underway across multiple groups. We remain cautiously optimistic that these conversations will continue to advance Additionally to be prepared for the possibility that we do not bring in new capital we are developing plans for.
Peter: Our restructuring alternatives and options. We expect these to include more significant cost reductions product and operational changes focused on reductions in working capital requirements and other actions to enhance the preservation of cash.
Peter: Looking ahead, we expect second quarter revenue to be in the range of $160 million to $190 million with 500 to 550 homes sold we also anticipate sequential improvements in adjusted EBITDA as we continue to drive operational leverage.
Peter: As we move further into 2025, we remain focused on increasing acquisition activity continued growth of our asset light lines of business, maintaining disciplined cost management and positioning offer pad for long term stability and growth.
Peter: We will now open the call for questions.
Peter: At this time, if you'd like to ask a question. It is star followed by one on your telephone keypad. If for any reason you would like to remove that question. It is followed by two I didn't ask a question. It is star one as a reminder, you can speakerphone. Please move would you pick up your handset before asking questions.
Peter: Questions are limited to one question and one follow up.
Peter: After which you may re enter the queue for more questions.
Peter: I'll pause briefly here's questions are registered.
Nick Jones: Our first question comes from Nick Jones, with the company citizens Financial group.
Speaker Change: Your line is now open.
Peter: Okay.
Peter: Great. Thanks for taking the questions I had two I guess the first one.
Peter: The acquisition pace of homes.
Peter: Given the seasonality in the industry as you try to model out the rest of the year.
Peter: It's really kind of think how you strategically acquire all in was it I mean should we be kind of assuming that.
Peter: The bulk of the acquisitions are going to kind of happen early into Q slowdown into trade show and I'm like okay.
Peter: Pick back up again in <unk>, given the seasonal patterns in line with fixing the plan.
Peter: Our.
Peter: Typically lower and then I have a follow up I kind of private listings.
Peter: Sure.
Peter: Nick.
Nick Jones: So so theres really two dynamics going on yes of course, we expect that theres seasonality and that will impact the volumes.
Nick Jones: To some extent, but the second is as we as we've talked about we have discussed in prior calls.
Nick Jones: We are ramping up our we went down to.
Nick Jones: Two lower intentionally down to lower acquisition volumes in third and fourth quarter.
And while we did a number of things, including some operational changes and.
As we move out of that.
Nick Jones: We have been acquiring Alan first quarter at higher volumes.
Nick Jones: You can see in the guidance that.
Nick Jones: At what dose cohorts at some of the homes in those cohorts will convert into sold homes in second quarter, and we expect that trend to continue so we so our expectation is.
Nick Jones: We continue as we've talked about before we continue to see.
Nick Jones: For the quarter as our North Star alongside continued cost out and alongside growth.
Nick Jones: Our asset light.
Nick Jones: Services that.
Nick Jones: Altogether will what will take us.
Nick Jones: Towards EBITDA profitability.
Nick Jones: As we move through the next few quarters, but yes.
Nick Jones: Just to get back to your original question.
Nick Jones: Yes, we do expect there to be increased volume doesn't go through the year and I'll just.
Nick Jones: Come in and say from a market and real estate perspective, we're still selectively bind right now.
Nick Jones: <unk> seen affordability concerns things we've talked about.
Nick Jones: With with the affordability of the buyer demand just in general and so we're looking for homes and the interior that still have.
Nick Jones: Pockets that we're seeing good transaction volume in those areas and so some of the outlying areas youre seeing very very low transaction volume and buying by your demand and so we're selectively.
Nick Jones: We see some markets are better than others.
Nick Jones: But in each market.
Nick Jones: Looking for pockets, where we're seeing.
Nick Jones: Activity on the market.
Speaker Change: Transaction activity that is great. Thanks.
Nick Jones: Great that's really helpful.
Dave: The next question comes from Dave <unk> with the company of JP Morgan.
Speaker Change: Your line is now open.
Speaker Change: Great.
Speaker Change: For taking my questions I have two as well.
Speaker Change: On the first one given your comments about some.
Speaker Change: Selectively accelerating acquisitions or end markets.
Speaker Change: Combine that with <unk>.
Speaker Change: Feel like predictability of the market has been the biggest challenge so far.
Speaker Change: As your acceleration comment.
Speaker Change: You have a few.
Speaker Change: Like this current <unk>.
Speaker Change: Environment is stable and what do you expect to play out for the remainder of pulling from your side.
Speaker Change: And then secondly could im sorry, if I missed this because my call dropped but could you talk a little bit more about the changes you've made in April and how we should think about the financial impact of those changes.
Speaker Change: Relative to the magnitude of the changes you made in the past.
Speaker Change: Yes.
Speaker Change: Sure.
Speaker Change: Start with the April.
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Speaker Change: We.
Speaker Change: I don't have a lot more to add.
Speaker Change: They went to that comment in the prepared remarks, we.
Speaker Change: I do expect that that next quarter, we will have more information on cost out, but what I'd say is.
Speaker Change: Yes.
Speaker Change: I'll continue.
Speaker Change: So what we've done last year, just not ready to talk about the magnitude.
Speaker Change: I think I think from the perspective of the ramping up acquisitions as we talk through this I think there's a combination of different things as that.
Speaker Change: There is still a lot of volatility in the market. There's no question.
Speaker Change: But we are seeing but we've been as we've talked about in previous calls really disciplined about when and how we're going to buy homes and obviously what gets affected by that that's the amount of volume that we buy but.
Speaker Change: So we are staying disciplined, but we are seeing more and more opportunity to buy homes at at the risk metrics that we feel are right for this.
Speaker Change: This market and so that just from our direct channels I think that we're seeing pretty good increase in traffic coming to us wanting to buy their home, but also from our agent partnership channel more and more agents are bringing us their home before they hit the market for us to look at acquiring so we're seeing opportunities. We're staying disciplined I think from a consumer stand.
Speaker Change: Point for the seller.
Speaker Change: As as hosted on the market longer and as it is they are seeing more signs come up in their neighborhood there.
Speaker Change: Our.
Speaker Change: Our option.
Speaker Change: Obviously theyre going to start you can start with us come back to us.
Speaker Change: When they see there's more adversity out there in the market. So I think it's a combination of that we're also.
Speaker Change: I can be smart about what we're buying in the pocket. So I think the volume is from more opportunities that we're seeing.
Speaker Change: Continue to stay disciplined, but also really getting comfortable with the pockets in some of these markets that we're buying feeling good about what we are guiding us in those areas.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Speaker Change: Follow up on that if I can.
Speaker Change: So when you say that are you guys or should we assume your contribution margin targets.
Speaker Change: Would you land within that contribution margin, so I'm going to ask you to accelerate your acquisition volume is it.
Speaker Change: We're going to be between 3% to 6% range or do you expect to be fixed.
Speaker Change: Higher in that range, given some of the volatility.
Your risk appetite right now.
Speaker Change: Yes.
Speaker Change: So we're moving up and we can see we have.
Speaker Change: You know we have strong visibility at three to four months ahead is based on how that product cycle through.
Speaker Change: In the process, we've been through a trough, where we're in the first quarter, we took down our.
Speaker Change: Our tail.
Speaker Change: We took down the number of percentage of tail homes very significantly.
Speaker Change: And we can see the contribution margin will increase as we move into the second quarter and we have a higher percentage of.
Speaker Change: More recent purchase purchase homes.
Speaker Change: And then.
Speaker Change: Cohorts that are driving our our contribution margin.
Speaker Change: The number I'm not ready we are comping against specific guidance.
Speaker Change: Contribution margin percentages, but what I can say day as we expect contribution margin to move back towards what we what we saw in say first quarter second quarter of last year.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from Ryan Tomasello with a company can't be done for you Brian. Your line is now open.
Ryan Tomasello: Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions first one for Brian just hi.
Speaker Change: High level.
Speaker Change: Spring selling season in full swing was hoping you can just.
Speaker Change: Provide some context on just what you're seeing generally in terms of supply demand across your key markets, if you're noticing any in.
Speaker Change: <unk> is beginning to materialize just from the rising inventory, we are seeing in certain parts of the country.
Speaker Change: And as it relates to offer about just how youre thinking about managing risk here.
Speaker Change: Just given the potential for maybe.
Speaker Change: A choppy selling season.
Speaker Change: And outside seasonality into the into the slower part of the back half of the year.
Ryan Tomasello: Yeah, So hey, Ryan.
Ryan Tomasello: We continue to see active inventory increase in most every market that we're in.
Ryan Tomasello: I think the last data that I saw markets like Phoenix have over 25% to 26000 active listings right now there's just not from affordability.
Ryan Tomasello: There is a lot of homes and not enough buyers.
Ryan Tomasello: Come back to kind of what I said before we are we're being very selective in areas that that that we are.
Ryan Tomasello: That we're seeing that's close to either jobs in schools was areas that youre seeing.
Ryan Tomasello: There are still transactions happening just out of nowhere and where they are happening at and where people want to live and there's a lot of choices for people to to look at that in the market right now if they want to buy so yes.
Ryan Tomasello: The other thing that we're doing.
Ryan Tomasello: We're leveraging our renovation more.
Ryan Tomasello: More and more as that inventory is on there is more inventory on the market, which means we have more competition, we're going to make sure. Our house is a little more upgraded in a more desirable than the next house across the street.
Ryan Tomasello: And Thats always something go with.
Ryan Tomasello: With where we're at right now that renovation you can really maximize the script from some of your results on that side of it and so from a risk perspective of overall, it's it's again being very selective staying disciplined with with what ROI, we need to expect.
Ryan Tomasello: In the in the market.
Ryan Tomasello: But also be disciplined just overall of the comparable so they're out there because in this environment and the other thing thats.
Ryan Tomasello: Ben.
Ryan Tomasello: The tariffs that really caused uncertainty as well.
Ryan Tomasello: As you as you go through that.
Ryan Tomasello: If if there was already wasn't enough uncertainty with tariffs over the last few weeks is causing more uncertainty in the market. So we're definitely being cautious thats why some of the volume and what we're seeing we're still going to be selective in what we're buying in.
Ryan Tomasello: So im really really liking what we're buying right now and what we're seeing in some of the performance and so.
Ryan Tomasello: Those move through some of our legacy inventory and then the tail as we start replacing that with the with the homes will be selective what we're buying I think we're going to be positioned well as far as what our portfolio looks like.
Speaker Change: I appreciate that and then just a follow up for Peter I guess because.
Ryan Tomasello: As we think about the thousand homes, a month sorry per quarter.
Speaker Change: Northstar.
Speaker Change: Asking about is that a level that you believe is enough to support <unk>.
Speaker Change: Cash flow breakeven and.
Speaker Change: As you think about the pace of acquisitions ramping over the course of the year do you feel like a 1000 homes is something you could potentially hit this year.
Speaker Change: Big picture, just trying to understand what is a reasonable timeline for cash flow breakeven with your acquisition.
Speaker Change: Yes, yes sure.
Speaker Change: So yes.
Speaker Change: Yes.
Speaker Change: Ken.
Speaker Change: Cash flow breakeven and driven by low overhead of course driven by.
Speaker Change: The higher mix of our of our higher margin asset light services.
Speaker Change: But.
Speaker Change: But yes, we think that the <unk>.
Speaker Change: <unk> 1000 homes per quarter.
Speaker Change: Along with those other dynamics.
Speaker Change: Where.
Speaker Change: EBITDA cash flow breakeven and positive we'll.
Speaker Change: Occur we're not guiding Q2 to Q2, the end of the year, but but but we do expect.
Speaker Change: Volumes to increase as we move across the year.
Speaker Change: Not ready yet to guide, whether we hit the 1000 by the end of the year.
Speaker Change: Obviously theres been a lot of challenges. This last few years in real estate with affordability and what we've seen with mortgage rates and just I'll just across the board, but I'll tell you the thing that I have been.
Speaker Change: With all that without negative there is there are some positive and the.
Speaker Change: The time and effort that we have really had to focus on our other asset light channels.
Speaker Change: And where I think the as we're pivoting more of the world, which has always been our goal is the people that the world doesn't look at that only as a buyer thats going to pay cash for their home, but really as a solution set or the cash off was the foundation of everything that we do but allowing others to plug into that foundation, you, obviously sellers come to us.
Speaker Change: Every.
Speaker Change: Every day, one was to buy their home, but some of those fellows it doesn't.
Speaker Change: Our cash offer, especially in this environment might not fit for what they need but then given them that listing opportunity with some of our agent partners to <unk>.
Speaker Change: With our direct plus people, it's our hope that we don't want to buy potentially there's one of our other investor partners that want that wants to buy up our platform and so as of right now right now everyone is everyone right now because of transaction volume and the uncertainty of the market. Obviously, everyone is is probably at their lowest levels ever but as things start to normalize.
Speaker Change: Malaise.
Speaker Change: With all of the work that we've done and all the people that are using our platform right now and I think that using that are that are familiar have signed up with that.
Speaker Change: I think we're going to be more and more of our of our business. It can be coming from our asset light channels, which is really exciting and.
Speaker Change: So I think that will be a and <unk>.
Speaker Change: What I'm, hoping is that we can in a very short period of time. It will talk about not buying 1000 homes. At this ROI is going to turn into how many customers that we convert to one of our products and we're making really really good progress on making that happen.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from Michael English accompanying Goldman Sachs. Michael Your line is now open.
Michael English: Great. Good afternoon. Thanks for the question just as a follow up to that Brian.
Michael English: The company had mentioned that 40% of contribution margin. After interest this quarter came from mass light services.
Michael English: I was just wondering if you could talk about the biggest contributors there.
Is that 40% more of a function of.
Michael English: Those dollars are small in the quarter or is 40%.
Michael English: Good framework to think about where you want to be long term as it relates to those asset light services and then.
Michael English: A follow up.
Michael English: About the product changes that may potentially occurred or use of working capital requirements.
Michael English: In the instance that there isn't more capital brought in could.
Michael English: Could you just give us a sense of which areas of the portfolio that you would deemphasize. Thank you.
Michael English: Sure well I think that yes.
Michael English: Yeah, I'll start with the look at our what we said in the prepared remarks is that we're developing a plan.
Michael English: And.
Michael English: And that's going to involve greater cost cuts and and yes. It will also.
Michael English: While the shift in how we operate.
Michael English: Including from a product perspective, so with.
Michael English: With the goal of taking down working capital and.
Michael English: And ultimately the goal of preserving cash.
Michael English: We're in the process of developing that plan. So we're not we're not prepared to give more specifics, but we are focused on being prepared to execute that way.
Michael English: I think from the other.
Michael English: There's no question with the.
Michael English: With the market right now with the amount of homes that we're buying are asset light services is a good chunk of that but but I will tell you like the.
Michael English: But really what were pushing for is that we want more and more of what we're going to do is on the asset light stuff like I'd love to get to a point. It's 50 50 from the asset light services and I'm talking at large scale because what we want to do is we want to be focused on what is the right whether our customer is.
Michael English: B to B or it's a BDC customer what is the right product that that customer needs that we can provide that service to do and we can make these from that service and so.
Michael English: I do think we are getting really really good momentum with with our renovation side and I always will premise that even in this environment, where we're continuing to see really rapid growth.
Michael English: And we're excited about our partnership that we just formed with auction dot com I mean, there there are powerful website that has thousands and thousands of users.
Michael English: By out there Theyre platform attached you will use our renovation services.
Michael English: So thank.
Michael English: So just kind of what I was talking about before that positioning our company for long term growth.
Michael English: Nothing we can do about the macro world now we're going to control everything that we can control and then position it I appreciate it.
Michael English: That well and that is even the follow up to what Peter said for us to be able to elaborate to leverage or two.
Michael English: To maximize more of our asset light services.
Michael English: In times like this is fantastic and Thats one of the reasons, we build off of pad was if there was ever a time that cash office, we don't want to buy cash on cash we could listed at the lifting is not right. Then we could one of our investors to buy and just really just a flywheel of different opportunities that we could do and so.
Michael English: Obviously, we're still going be selective in what were buying on the cash offer side, but if it doesn't work, we're going to provide lithium opportunities to that customer.
Michael English: And if it doesn't work or our cash offer doesn't work, we're going to give them connected with another investor to potentially.
Michael English: We'd want to buy to buy that homes.
Michael English: Home off of our platform. So excited about what we're building out there for sure.
Speaker Change: Great. Thanks, Brian Thanks, Peter.
Michael English: Thanks.
Jon Cohen: Our next question comes from Jon Cohen, <unk> with Jefferies. John Your line is now open.
Michael English: Okay.
Speaker Change: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the questions Vincent Carter on for John at Jefferies.
Speaker Change: Two for US. Please you mentioned, making the inspection process faster and more efficient.
Speaker Change: Curious to hear a little bit more about how you're doing that and the steps you're taking.
Speaker Change: And how the steps you're taking should be expected to do.
Speaker Change: Hit the P&L and then following up on some of your earlier comments about renovate.
Speaker Change: Maybe just talk a bit about the margin progression for that business as it grows any impact you're seeing on margin there from from tariffs, so far and why they're growing that business at the same pace going forward would be realistic if we where it can be.
Speaker Change: A major uptick in the cost of building materials from these tariffs. Thanks.
Speaker Change: Yeah, I'll take the second one as far as the we're not seeing anything as far as margins on the renovated side as far as tariffs. That's obviously very very early on that and the idea of our all of our renovate business is that our partners could plug into our renovation operations that we use when we buy homes that are owned.
We have we're not seeing a lot of tariff impact of that yet and that's to say, we won't see it but as of right now we're not seeing a lot of impact. So I think that's pretty similar to what we've seen on the renovate side, but the idea is that they can plug into our renovations and get the cost and time and efficiency.
Speaker Change: And.
Speaker Change: The idea of where we're going to treat that renovation just like we own that helps ourselves with the same renovation pains and so that's been really really good from a cost perspective to keep their costs low our costs, while we keep our efficiency.
Speaker Change: To where it's at.
Speaker Change: And if you wanted on the margin side, Peter you want to comment on other.
Speaker Change: No no I mean, I think it was.
It's 25, we've said before it's 10% to 30% margins and as importantly, as the business is growing we're maintaining those margins are really good.
Speaker Change: <unk> business for our cash offer and also a standalone business.
Speaker Change: To your first question this has been really interesting because.
Speaker Change: <unk>.
Speaker Change: Where when people are coming to us.
Speaker Change: It used to be.
Speaker Change: Where is the best option I could make the most money for my home in normal times, our semi house fast like.
Speaker Change: We are right now we are seeing when people are coming to us timing is everything for them and so I think you're right.
Speaker Change: Keep staying the seller that comes to offer Pac today is a much much different et cetera, just at this moment of time.
Speaker Change: It came a couple of years ago.
Speaker Change: And so we have to meet them, where they want us to meet so one of the things that we're doing with like for example for our inspection process is they are now able to instantly get their range offer or within minutes to get their range offer.
Speaker Change: What that house with the medium price and then.
Speaker Change: It fits into what what works for them and that price. They can schedule an inspection on their timing, but what we're also doing is that we are giving them.
Speaker Change: Multiple times, so it's not the old way, we would have one inspection.
Speaker Change: That block with book they have achieved another inspection, but what we're doing as well.
