ByOwner Expands into 44 States, Empowering Homeowners to Save Big on Selling Their Home

ByOwner announces a major expansion, now operating in 44 states across the United States, up from 15 states just 2 years ago. This significant development symbolizes a new chapter for the company, strengthening its mission to offer homeowners a smarter, more affordable way to sell their homes without the high costs associated with traditional real estate agents.
With a strong belief that homeowners should have more control and transparency in the home-selling process, ByOwner has been steadily evolving its platform since its acquisition and relaunch in 2011. Over the past decade, the company has evolved into a fully licensed real estate brokerage, combining professional-grade services with cost-effective benefits, providing sellers with an effective solution to maximize their overall savings on brokerage fees.
'When we first started, we were able to add up to 15 states to our package, but now, we have a pretty thorough coverage of the majority of the population in the United States, and most of that has happened within the last year,' says Greg Sullivan, President of ByOwner.
The pioneering real estate company started its journey as a print publication that included real estate and vehicles; later, it chose to focus on the real estate industry alone. At the heart of the company's offerings is its ability to offer sellers access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), a database used by traditional agents and brokers that has not been available to sellers who choose to sell on their own.
While most brokers charge an exorbitant commission rate to sellers, ByOwners empowers homeowners to list their properties on the MLS platform at a low commission fee of just 0.25% (a quarter of 1%) of the sale price. This gives them the same level of exposure to buyers and agents nationwide, ensuring their listing appears on all large-scale websites, all while evading the traditional buyer's agent fee, which is normally much higher. For sellers, this acts as a paradigm shift in both visibility and savings. 'With a model like ours and low commissions, sellers aren't forced to pay any buyer's agent fees,' Sullivan states. 'They can sell their home with massive savings.'
'The average home in the United States sells for $350,000. On a traditional model, this would be about $21,000 in commission, but with our model, you can do the whole transaction for an upfront cost of $195, and then we charge only a 0.25% commission,' Sullivan explains.
With no hidden fees, ByOwner provides homeowners with the ability to manage their selling processes at their own pace. They offer sellers the ability to save thousands of dollars on their home sale without sacrificing the exposure they get from a traditional broker.
'There are a lot of people who don't know that a service like this exists out there, where they get the same MLS exposure with a significant percentage in commission savings,' Sullivan explains.
ByOwner gives sellers the tools and platforms to manage their selling journey, such as setting the price, scheduling open houses, or negotiating while still providing them with the exposure to connect with serious buyers. With its limited-service model, the company enforces its ethos of keeping costs low and value high.
As ByOwner celebrates its milestone of expanding to 44 states in the country, the company's ambitions have only grown further with it. With plans to enter the remaining states soon and become a comprehensive national service, the company is preparing for a fundraising round to expand its reach and bring more technological advancements and tools to its sellers.
Over the years, ByOwner has upheld its values of not cutting corners, but only cutting costs. With a commitment to empowering sellers and home buyers, ByOwner stands out as a proven, practical solution headed towards making an affordable, low-commission home-selling model a national prerogative.

Chewy, Inc. Announces Pricing of Upsized Offering of Class A Common Stock by Selling Stockholder and Concurrent Repurchase
PLANTATION, Fla., June 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chewy, Inc. (NYSE: CHWY) ("Chewy"), a trusted destination for pet parents and partners everywhere, announced today the pricing of an upsized underwritten public offering of 23,952,096 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, by Buddy Chester Sub LLC (the "Selling Stockholder"), which is an entity affiliated with funds advised by BC Partners PE, LP ("BC Partners"), Chewy's largest shareholder, at a price to the public of $41.95 per share (the "Offering"). The Selling Stockholder granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,592,815 shares of Class A common stock. Chewy will not sell any shares of its Class A common stock in the Offering and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Class A common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholder. In addition, as previously announced, concurrent with the closing of the Offering, Chewy has agreed to purchase from the Selling Stockholder $100.0 million of Chewy's Class A common stock at a price per share equal to the per share purchase price to be paid by the underwriter in the Offering (the "Concurrent Repurchase"). The Concurrent Repurchase was approved by a special committee of Chewy's Board of Directors, consisting solely of independent directors not affiliated with BC Partners. The repurchased shares will be cancelled and retired upon completion of the Concurrent Repurchase. The Concurrent Repurchase is being executed separately from the Company's existing $500 million share repurchase program authorized on May 24, 2024, which will be unaffected by this transaction. We expect the closing of the Concurrent Repurchase to occur substantially concurrently with the closing of this offering. The Offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the Concurrent Repurchase, but the Concurrent Repurchase is conditioned upon the closing of the Offering. Prior to the Offering and Concurrent Repurchase, Chewy had approximately 196 million shares of Class A common stock and 220 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding. If the Offering and Concurrent Repurchase are completed (assuming no exercise of the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock), Chewy will have approximately 219 million shares of Class A common stock and approximately 193 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The Offering and Concurrent Repurchase are expected to close by June 25, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. J.P. Morgan is acting as the sole underwriter for the Offering. Chewy has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the Offering. A preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC's website. Before you invest, you should read the preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus and other documents Chewy has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Chewy and the Offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at Alternatively, Chewy or J.P. Morgan will arrange to send you the preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering if you contact J.P.

Arizona legislature approves bill that would provide up to $500 million for Chase Field renovations
PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks are one small step from securing up to $500 million to help with renovations to the team's downtown home Chase Field. The Arizona House of Representatives voted to approve House Bill 2704 by a 35-20 margin on Monday. It would recapture sales taxes from the stadium and other adjacent buildings over the next 30 years and reinvest them into infrastructure at the retractable roof structure, which has been home to the D-backs since 1998 and is owned by the Maricopa County Stadium District.
