Fathom Holdings Begins Expansion of START Real Estate

START Real Estate Expands into Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, Marking a Major Milestone in Fathom's Nationwide Growth Strategy

CARY, N.C., Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fathom Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: FTHM), a national, technology-driven real estate services platform integrating residential brokerage, mortgage, title, and SaaS offerings, today announced that its subsidiary, START Real Estate, has begun expanding into new markets. START Real Estate has developed a proven model for guiding first-time buyers through the homeownership journey, a demographic representing one of the largest and fastest-growing segments of the U.S. housing market.

"We are excited to announce the beginning of the expansion of the START team across the U.S.," said Marco Fregenal, CEO of Fathom Holdings. "Our initial focus will be on Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, with plans to reach more than 15 states over the next year. Expanding into these markets allows us to bring our title and settlement expertise to a broader client base and better serve homebuyers, sellers, and real estate professionals nationwide. START Real Estate has a proven track record of delivering an over 70% mortgage attach rate, and we expect similar results as the program expands into new markets."

Randy Bell, co-founder of START Real Estate, added: "When we joined Fathom, our shared vision was to take the START program nationwide. With Fathom's intelligent technology platform, extensive geographic footprint, and the strength of the Elevate program, we're well positioned to accelerate growth and deliver our services to more communities across the country. The first-time homebuyer segment remains largely underserved, and through Fathom's proprietary technology, we can help more families achieve the dream of homeownership."

With its strong national agent network and industry-leading technology, Fathom is well positioned to scale the START program into new and emerging markets. This expansion not only broadens access to homeownership but also unlocks new growth opportunities across Fathom's mortgage, title, and technology businesses.
