La Rosa Holdings Corp. Strategic Collaboration with Lofty to Drive Agent Productivity and Introduce New Recurring Revenue Stream

Celebration, FL, April 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- La Rosa Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: LRHC) (“La Rosa” or the “Company”), a real estate and PropTech company,  today announced the successful implementation of its strategic collaboration with Lofty, an AI-powered productivity platform that aims to enhance agent performance and accelerates business growth. The platform supports La Rosa’s network of over 2,700 agents while advancing the Company’s ongoing national expansion strategy.

Since its launch in November 2024, the Lofty platform has been adopted by over 500 La Rosa agents across the U.S., reflecting strong market demand, swift onboarding, and high user engagement. We believe that the platform’s low churn rate underscores its enduring value and strong reception among La Rosa agents. By automating routine tasks and streamlining workflows, Lofty enables La Rosa agents to close more deals, more efficiently—aligning with the Company’s long-term growth strategy and commitment to innovation.

Importantly, Lofty’s rollout introduced a new recurring revenue stream through agent subscriptions, enhancing La Rosa’s revenue diversification and supporting its long-term growth strategy.

Additionally, La Rosa has also implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, a comprehensive business management solution that will play a pivotal role in transforming the Company’s finance and operational infrastructure. This enterprise-level system is expected to enhance decision-making, reduce the need for additional staffing, and consolidate key back-office functions—supporting scalable expansion across all segments of the business.

Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa, commented, “Our collaboration with Lofty reflects our commitment to empowering agents through cutting-edge technology that aims to enhance productivity, streamline client engagement, and accelerate business growth. Since its rollout, Lofty has demonstrated strong adoption across our agent network, validating its product-market fit while also generating a new, high-margin recurring revenue stream for La Rosa. This subscription-based model adds meaningful diversification to our revenue profile and aligns with our broader goal of building long-term, scalable value for our stakeholders."

"In parallel, the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central marks a significant step forward in modernizing our finance and operations infrastructure. By consolidating key business functions into a unified, cloud-based platform, we are increasing organizational efficiency, enabling smarter, faster decision-making, and significantly reducing the need for additional back-office headcount. These strategic investments position us to scale more effectively as we expand nationwide, reinforcing our operational foundation and further differentiating La Rosa in a rapidly evolving real estate landscape,” added Mr. La Rosa.

“While we have historically emphasized innovation and agent-driven revenue generation, the Company is now equally focused on achieving profitability and generating positive cash flow. The collaboration with Lofty is expected to meaningfully contribute to true net earnings by introducing a high-margin, subscription-based revenue stream. This initiative supports La Rosa’s broader objective of transitioning from purely growth-focused metrics to sustainable financial performance. The Company believes that the recurring nature of this revenue, coupled with operational efficiencies gained through recent system integrations, will help to position La Rosa to reach positive cash flow and profitability by the end of 2025,” concluded Mr. La Rosa
