Despite the challenging market, the company remains focused on its long-term strategy and is taking steps to reduce costs while investing in future growth.
Total revenue decreased by 51.5% compared to Q1 2022, totaling $154.8 million.
Net loss was $5.8 million, or $0.15 per common share, diluted, compared to net income of $32.8 million, or $0.81 per common share, diluted in Q1 2022.
Brokerage commissions decreased by 52.9% to $135.0 million.
The company repurchased 559,923 shares of common stock at an average price of $31.73 per share for a total price of $17.8 million.
The economy and commercial real estate transaction market are expected to remain choppy through the first half of 2023 as interest rate fluctuations and lender caution lengthen the price discovery process and the buyer/seller expectation gap remains wide. However, the Company believes it remains well positioned to achieve long-term growth.
