One of Offerpad’s co-CEOs is stepping down

Offerpad cofounder Jerry Coleman is stepping down from his role as one of the two co-chief executive offers (co-CEOs) of the homebuying startup, leaving his partner and fellow cofounder Brian Bair as the company’s sole CEO.

Offerpad announced the change abruptly on Tuesday morning in a press release touting other new hires to its leadership team. Coleman will stay on as a board member and “will focus on capital raising and high-level initiatives and relationships,” according to the release.

“The company is evolving quickly at every level. I’m excited to expand our leadership team to continue providing our customers with the best way to buy and sell a home,” Bair said in a statement. “New additions, along with adjustments to our current structure, will further enhance Offerpad’s capabilities and facilitate company growth.”

When asked why Coleman stepped down as co-CEO, Offerpad spokeswoman Cortney Read told Inman: “We’ve made many changes to our expand our executive team. The adjustment to Jerry’s role will allow him to exclusively focus on raising capital and managing investor relationships.”

Bair and Coleman co-founded Offerpad, an iBuyer working to compete with Opendoor and Zillow Instant Offers, in 2015. The Arizona company buys and resells homes in eight markets nationwide. It recently raised another $150 million in equity and debt funding, and unveiled a major redbranding.

The Ultimate Guide To Family Law

Introduction The government has always had a fascination with families and the contract of marriage. State legislatures have passed many laws regulating the requirements for getting married and for obtaining a divorce. In addition, today’s laws also affect couples who live together outside of marriage. It is hard to give simple answers to many of the legal questions that a person may have about marriage, parenthood, separation, or divorce because the laws change and vary from one state to another. In addition, judges in different states with identical laws may decide cases with similar facts in different ways. This article describes the laws and court rulings common to most states. If you have other questions, please contact a lawyer in your state. You may also wish to contact a specialist. Many lawyers (particularly in urban areas) work only on family law or make it a large part of their general practice. Lawyers specializing in family law also may refer to themselves as specialist...

Amazon HQ2 talks reportedly narrow to Crystal City, Dallas and NYC

Amazon is reportedly getting close to finalizing the location of its $5 billion, 50,000-job second headquarters following a nationwide reverse-contest of sorts, wherein the tech company accepted bids and presentations from different city governments on why they should be the one to land Amazon HQ2. And now it appears that three locations are currently in the lead: Virginia’s Crystal City, Dallas and New York City. After speaking to people familiar with Amazon’s plans, The Wall Street Journal reported this weekend that the search for the second headquarters has narrowed from the 20 cities originally shortlisted as potential locations.

Amazon’s impact on home affordability has been a major consideration, as the tech giant’s presence in Seattle has both created nume...

How To Flag Your Hotel In The Age Of Brand Proliferation

No doubt about it, we’re in the age of hotel brand proliferation. New brands seemingly sprout almost weekly. Counting the precise or official number of hotel brands is difficult. By my conservative estimate, nearly 100 new flags with at least eight properties have been launched since 2008, conceivably pushing the total number of brands to more than 700. This dizzying array of choices doesn’t the make the decision about which flag to fly on a property any easier for hotel developers. How do you decide when there are so many brands to choose from? Marriott , for example, has 30-plus brands under its umbrella spanning all chain scale and star levels of the hospitality industry. A successful hotel project begins with the selection of the right brand for your marketplace, physical site and price point. Although the macro dynamics of the lodging business are strong, a microanalysis of the destination in which you want to build will ultimately dictates your brand choice. Here’s a road ma...
