reAlpha Tech Corp. (NASDAQ:AIRE) (the "Company" or "reAlpha"), an AI-powered real estate technology company, today announced it has completed its acquisition of InstaMortgage Inc., a multi-state mortgage lender with in-house underwriting and funding capabilities, on August 19, 2026.

The transaction brings direct lending into reAlpha’s platform and marks a significant step in the Company’s effort to create an end-to-end homebuying experience. By bringing lending capabilities in-house, reAlpha believes it may gain greater control over execution while expanding its ability to serve homebuyers through both mortgage brokerage and direct-lending models.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, reAlpha acquired all outstanding shares of InstaMortgage for aggregate consideration of approximately $8.5 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. The consideration consists of $0.5 million in cash, $1.5 million in reAlpha common stock issued at closing, and up to $6.5 million in deferred consideration payable in semi-annual installments over three years following closing, in cash or shares of reAlpha common stock at the Company’s election, provided that at least $1.5 million of such deferred consideration must be paid in cash.
