Rocket has integrated with Redfin, embedding prequalification buttons in home listings and launched Rocket Preferred Pricing. Clients who finance via Rocket and use a Redfin agent can receive mortgage rate reductions up to $6,000. The integration aims to provide a seamless homebuying experience. Rocket has initiated job cuts, affecting approximately 2% of its workforce, to eliminate overlapping roles post-acquisition. The company anticipates $30 million in severance expenses as part of this transition, while the real estate operation combines thousands of agent partners from both platforms.
Rocket has embedded prequalification buttons on all home listings and launched a new incentive program called Rocket Preferred Pricing for qualified clients.
Qualified clients who finance through Rocket and work with a Redfin agent receive a one-point mortgage rate reduction during their first year for up to $6,000 in savings.
The integration has moved at a rapid pace, with Rocket Companies CEO Varun Krishna noting that the merger is already showing early traction.
Executives expect about $30 million in severance and transaction-related expenses, which will be recorded as one-time charges due to workforce reductions.
