What to know

What to know about buying a real estate finance business

How real estate finance businesses are valued

Asking prices are set as a multiple of earnings: 2x–8x annual profit, depending on recurring revenue, licensing, and how much runs without you.

Where you land in that range depends on how much of your revenue comes from subscriptions that renew automatically versus transaction-based fees that go up and down with interest rates.

Subscriptions and contracts that renew automatically
Licenses across many states
Deep integrations with client systems
Compliance built into the product

What buyers of real estate finance businesses look for

Mortgage companies looking to add origination volume, geographic licenses, or compliance technology
Companies building a portfolio of appraisal management, mortgage tech, or servicing operations
Proptech companies looking to expand their product suite through acquisition
Experienced operators from financial services looking to enter mortgage or real estate tech

The first questions buyers ask:

Licenses & Approvals. Can we keep operating through the license and compliance transition?
Warehouse & Funding. What happens to the warehouse line after you sell?
Investor Takeouts. What approvals keep the lights on, and what happens on a change of control?

Due diligence

What to Look For

Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.

Recurring vs. Transaction Revenue

Ask for a revenue breakdown that separates subscription or contract income from transaction-based fees that go up and down with interest rate cycles.
Subscription revenue that renews automatically is more valuable to forecast and to finance than per-transaction fees, even when the transaction fees are significant.
Understanding the split and the trend over the past three years will shape how you think about valuation and your downside scenario.

Licensing Scope and Transferability

Ask for a full list of state licenses, who holds them, when they renew, and what happens to each one in a change of ownership.
Licenses held at the company level are much cleaner to transfer than those tied to an individual.
A 20-state licensing footprint that transfers with the company is genuinely hard to put a price on and would take years to rebuild from scratch.

Client Integration Depth

Ask how many MLS, lender, or platform integrations are active and how long the average client has been using the product.
When a lender's compliance process runs through your platform, you're not just a vendor, you're infrastructure, and the switching cost reflects that.
Businesses where clients would need to re-engineer their workflows to leave are the ones that command the highest valuations in this space.

Credit Lines and Personal Guarantees

Ask for a complete list of credit facilities, minimum volume requirements, and any personal guarantees from the founder.
Warehouse lines or other financing arrangements with personal guarantees typically need to be replaced or renegotiated at closing.
Starting conversations with your lender early about these arrangements is one of the most useful things you can do before you're deep into negotiations.

Valuation

What Should You Expect to Pay?

2x-4x

SDE

Transaction-based revenue, rate-cycle dependent

5x-8x

EBITDA

Subscription revenue, deep integrations, multi-state licensing

The split between recurring subscription revenue and transaction-based fees, the breadth of transferable licensing, and how deeply the product is integrated into client workflows drive most of the valuation spread in real estate finance.

What drives a premium

Subscription or contract revenue that renews automatically, documented with multi-year retention rates

Company-held state licenses across ten or more markets, current and in good standing

Deep integrations with MLS systems, lending platforms, or compliance workflows that create high switching costs

Compliance infrastructure built into the product, with audit workflows and quality controls that lenders depend on

Real Estate Finance Business Acquisition

How do I contact the owner of a business I found on Rejigg?

Create a free Rejigg account; owners, and the brokers who run some sales, only hear from buyers through the platform. Open the listing to see the full profile: city, team size, financials, what is for sale, and the reason for selling. Sign Rejigg's standard Fee & Confidentiality Agreement for that business; it is the same form for every deal. Verify your phone, then send your pitch from the listing. Replies, meetings, and documents all run through Rejigg.

Can I email Rejigg to get introduced to an owner?

No. Rejigg does not forward emails to owners or brokers, so a note to support@ or hello@ with a listing link will not reach them. Create a free account, open the listing, sign the agreement for that business, verify your phone, and send your pitch; that reaches them in a few minutes.

How does buying a business on Rejigg work?

Create a free account, set your criteria, and browse off-market businesses sourced directly by our team. When you find a match, reach out to the owner through the platform, Rejigg handles NDAs, scheduling, and document sharing so you can focus on the deal.

How much does it cost to buy a business?

Prices vary widely; most small businesses on Rejigg sell for $500K to $10M. Beyond purchase price, budget for diligence costs (attorney and accountant fees, typically $10K-$50K) and working capital reserves. Getting started on Rejigg is free.

What financing options are available?

The most common path is an SBA 7(a) loan, covering up to 90% of the purchase price with 10-year terms. Seller financing is also common, where the seller carries a note for 10-30% of the price. Our SBA loan calculator helps you estimate monthly payments.

How is Rejigg different from a broker or marketplace?

Brokers represent the owner and typically charge the owner 5–10% of the sale price. Marketplaces list whatever gets posted. Rejigg vets every listing, sources many of them directly through our own owner outreach, connects you directly with owners when they sell directly, and gives you tools to manage the process from first contact through closing.

What is due diligence and what does it involve?

Due diligence is the verification process after you and the owner agree on terms (usually in a Letter of Intent). Budget 30-60 days and $10K-$30K for professional help. A Quality of Earnings report is increasingly common for SBA-financed deals.

Can I buy a business with no money down?

Rarely. Most acquisitions require 10-20% down, whether through SBA financing, seller financing, or cash. Some creative structures can reduce the cash needed upfront, but sellers generally want to see you have skin in the game.
