Hubzu expands into commercial real estate auctions

LUXEMBOURG - Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (NASDAQ: ASPS), a provider of real estate and mortgage industry solutions with a market capitalization of $65 million and annual revenue of $150 million, has announced that its online real estate marketplace, Hubzu, is now venturing into the commercial real estate sector with a new auction platform. This move is aimed at streamlining the buying and selling process for commercial properties. According to InvestingPro data, the company has shown revenue growth of 3.65% in the last twelve months.

Hubzu, known for facilitating residential property sales, will leverage its experience to offer a similar service for commercial real estate transactions. The platform’s expansion is designed to optimize the process for both buyers and sellers, bringing value to the commercial market. However, InvestingPro analysis indicates the company faces challenges with a significant debt burden of $230 million and a concerning current ratio of 0.19.

For sellers, Hubzu promises nationwide reach, a simplified selling process, customizable marketing listings, and efficient transactions. Its marketing capabilities are expected to attract a wide audience of potential buyers, while the platform provides real-time updates and tools to manage transactions effectively.

Buyers will benefit from comprehensive property listings, a transparent bidding process, customizable search tools with real-time updates, and an online due diligence data vault. These features are intended to make the property search and acquisition process more seamless and efficient.

Hubzu’s online marketplace has been operational since 2009, and with over 2.6 million registered users, it has facilitated the sale of over 280,000 homes in the United States and Puerto Rico. The company aims to replicate this success in the commercial real estate market, providing tools and resources to help users achieve their commercial real estate goals.

Those interested in listing their commercial properties for auction or exploring the new commercial listings can do so through Hubzu’s website.
