Revenue surged to $93.1 million, yet the company still recorded a net loss of $5.7 million, raising concerns over its financial health despite growth in brokerage revenue.

With 14,715 agents as of Q1 2025, Fathom experienced a 22.8% year-over-year increase, the highest since Q4 2022, driving a revenue surge to $93.1 million.
