It also has expanded into complementary industries, such as real estate services, personal lending and auto sales. The company also operates Quicken Loans.
Rocket Homes, the firm’s proprietary home search platform and real estate agent referral network, helps match Rocket Mortgage clients with highly rated agents, and the coordinated home buying experience improves the certainty of closing.
In 2019, Rocket Homes participated in more than 30,000 real estate transactions.

The company intends to use the entire aggregate amount of the net proceeds to acquire a number of holding units and Class D common stock from RHI. Note that the company said that it does not intend to acquire any of these securities from Dan Gilbert, its founder and board chair.
