Rocket Cos. said it would pay $1.8 billion in stock for the online real-estate agency Redfin Corp. in an effort to make it easier for customers to buy property via their mobile devices.
“We want a customer to be able to check her phone to find out what she can afford, see which homes are just right for her, schedule a tour with a local, expert Redfin agent, and get pre-qualified for a loan, all in a matter of minutes,” Redfin Chief Executive Glenn Kelman said in a prepared statement.
