Overview

Linkhome Holdings Inc. (“Linkhome,” “Linkhome Holdings,” the “Company,” or “We”) is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Nevada on November 6, 2023. Linkhome was incorporated as a holding company with no material operations of its own. Linkhome conducts substantially all of the operations through its subsidiary, Linkhome Realty Group, a California corporation (“Linkhome Realty”). Located in Irvine, California, Linkhome Realty is presently focused on serving the Southern California market, and, over time, intends to establish a nationwide marketing network covering multiple states.

Linkhome Realty focuses on comprehensive real estate activities as a one-stop destination for a variety of real estate needs. By using Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) to streamline the property search and transaction process, we facilitate property transactions as a real estate agency and provide efficient property management services. We aim to offer comprehensive assistance to our clients in real estate investments by diversifying our services and providing clients with access to a wide range of real estate solutions. Further, we aim to provide personalized services to both buyers and sellers to meet their various real estate needs, and help our clients buy and sell property more efficiently.

Additionally, where possible and when we have sufficient cash on hand to permit such a purchase, we purchase and sell real estate for our clients through our Cash Offer program. We developed the Cash Offer program with the intent of increasing the successful rate in our clients’ acquisition of their desired houses. We also use this service as a marketing tool to help us attract more clients. We use cash to purchase the target property first, and then sell it to our customer. This service is particularly effective in the competitive U.S. real estate market, where buyers often face competition and bidding for popular properties during the home purchase bid. Our ability to make all-cash offers helps our clients secure desired properties quickly, thereby enhancing their chances of success. Our ultimate strategic goal is to become the premier AI driven real estate technology company, utilizing artificial intelligence to transform the real estate industry, making property transactions more user-friendly, transparent, and efficient. Currently, our funding for the Cash Offer comes primarily from investments made by our CEO and shareholders. With the funds generated from this offering, we plan to expand our Cash Offer program. We believe and are confident that, over time, our revenue will continue to grow and we will become more profitable over time.

Key Factors that Affect Our Results of Operations

● Market Conditions: Fluctuations in the real estate market, including changes in supply and demand dynamics, interest rate, economic conditions, and regulatory policies, can significantly impact on our business. We closely monitor market trends and adapt our strategies in order to mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities.

● Technology Integration: As we strive to become the premier AI real estate company, our ability to effectively integrate AI and other innovative technologies into our operations is crucial.

● Client Preferences and Demands: We continuously assess client feedback, market research and industry trends to improve our services.

● Competition: The real estate industry is highly competitive, with numerous companies competing for market share and client attention. We strive to differentiate ourselves through our comprehensive services, innovative solutions and exceptional customer service. Continuous assessment of competitor strategies and market positioning informs our efforts to maintain a competitive advantage.

● Economic Factors: We aim to continuously evaluate Macroeconomic factors, such as GDP growth, employment rates, inflation, which can influence real estate market dynamics and consumer behavior. When GDP growth and employment rates are strong, we typically see higher consumer confidence and spending power. On the other hand, rising inflation can lead to increased interest rates, potentially reducing consumer buying power and making it more expensive for consumers to purchase homes.

● Operational Efficiency: The process of real estate transaction includes multiple steps. We continuously optimize our processes, invest in staff training and development, and leverage technology to enhance productivity.

Revenue from Property Purchases and Sales Through Cash Offer

In a competitive real estate market, a buyer who pays in cash is more likely to secure a property. To give buyers an edge in competitive markets, we offer the Cash Offer program to enable buyers to make all-cash offers on properties, even if they require financing. Through our Cash Offer program, we provide the funds to make a cash offer once the client identifies a property. If the seller accepts the cash offer, we purchase the property in cash to secure its ownership and subsequently sell it to the client within a short period of time. Our property purchases and sales through Cash Offer focus primarily on residential and commercial properties.

Revenue from property purchases and sales through our Cash Offer program accounted for 86.25% and 78.04% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our revenue from this program increased by $5,499,332, or 514.40%, from $1,069,072 for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $6,568,404 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This significant increase was due to the expansion of our Cash Offer program, which commenced in late 2023. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we purchased and sold six and one properties, respectively, through the Cash Offer program, with average transaction prices of $1.08 million and $1.05 million.

Real Estate Service Revenue

We offer comprehensive real estate services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our real estate service revenue consists primarily of real estate agency commissions for buying and selling properties for clients, and revenue generated from property management, home renovation and mortgage referral services.

Real estate service revenue accounted for 13.75% and 21.96% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our real estate service revenue increased by $746,120, or 248.06%, from $300,783 for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $1,046,903 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by growth in real estate agency commission and home renovation service revenue, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage referral fees and property management service revenue, as explained below.

Real estate agency commission increased by $519,646, or 198.56%, from $261,705 for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $781,351 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a 214.58% increase in transaction volume, resulting from a 130.00% increase in the number of real estate transactions and a 36.78% increase in the average transaction price. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we achieved a total transaction volume of $48,566,719 by completing 46 real estate transactions at an average transaction price of $1.06 million, while we achieved a total transaction volume of $15,438,435 by completing 20 real estate transactions at an average transaction price of $0.77 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in real estate agency commission was partially offset by higher rebates, which we offered in order to attract more clients and expand our market share. Rebates increased by $167,617, or 413.79%, from $40,508 for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $208,125 for the year ended December 31, 2024, accounting for 21.03% and 13.40% of gross real estate agency commission for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Revenue from home renovation service increased by $236,873, or 2,835.78%, from $8,353 for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $245,226 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was driven by our launch of home renovation service in late 2023 in response to a demand for home improvements aimed at enhancing living spaces and increasing home equity. We completed 15 home renovation projects for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to one project for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue from mortgage referral service decreased by $9,450, or 70.00%, from $13,500 for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $4,050 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to reduced client demand for mortgage referrals, reflecting higher interest rates during 2024. We assisted one client in securing a mortgage for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to six clients for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue from property management service decreased by $949, or 5.51%, from $17,225 for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $16,276 for the year ended December 31, 2024. We had nine tenant placements for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to eight for the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition to tenant placement services, we began providing ongoing property management services in 2024 and managed three properties by year-end. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a lower average revenue per tenant placement in 2024 and the initial implementation of ongoing property management services, which are structured to generate recurring revenue over time rather than upfront payments.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues consists primarily of (i) costs related to property purchases made under Linkhome Realty’s name, which properties are subsequently sold to customers, and (ii) costs associated with real estate services, including commission expenses for real estate agents working for the Company and renovation costs incurred for home renovation services.

We derive our cost of revenues from two revenue streams: (i) property purchases and sales through Cash Offer and (ii) real estate services. The following table presents our cost of revenues by revenue stream for the periods presented:

Years Ended December 31 2024 % 2023 % Change %
Cost of property purchases and sales through Cash Offer $5,928,865 96.48% $1,056,370 94.51% $4,872,495 461.25%
Cost of real estate services 216,061 3.52% 61,400 5.49% 154,661 251.89%
Total cost of revenues $6,144,926 100.00% $1,117,770 100.00% $5,027,156 449.75%

Cost of property purchases and sales through Cash Offer increased by $4,872,495, or 461.25%, from $1,056,370 for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $5,928,865 for the year ended December 31, 2024, as we launched this revenue stream in late 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a higher volume of transactions in 2024 compared to 2023.

Cost of real estate services increased by $154,661, or 251.89%, from $61,400 for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $216,061 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher renovation costs as we began providing home renovation services in late 2023. This was partially offset by a reduction in commission expenses paid to our real estate agents, particularly to our CEO, who devoted more time in 2024 to expanding into new markets.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling expenses primarily consist of staging, advertising and marketing costs, including online and offline marketing, photography and videography. We expect our selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues to modestly increase in the foreseeable future to achieve high-quality growth.

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of professional service costs, payroll and payroll related costs, rent and other overhead costs. We anticipate our general and administrative expenses will increase in the short term as a result of increased costs associated with being a public company, which will likely include increased costs related to the hiring of additional
