They Got Acquired - Selling 3 brands in one transaction 🤝

While chatting with an industry friend, Melissa Kwan found herself getting really honest: she wanted out of real estate.
​
“The opportunity cost of sticking with something I wasn’t fully enjoying was too high,” said Kwan, co-founder of Spacio, a marketing system for home listings and open houses.

The friend she was talking to was Aaron Kardell, founder and CEO of real estate platform HomeSpotter. And coincidentally, he was looking to make their first acquisition at that very moment.

Her story is a reminder of the importance of self-reflection — and the value of opportune timing.

Building intertwined brands

It's not uncommon for entrepreneurs to run more than one company.

Many of us have side projects in the mix or more than one brand we're juggling.

What if those brands could feed off each other, helping them all grow?

That's what Andrej Ilisin did with Sharp Capital, a holding company for three businesses focused on online business growth and acquisitions.

This year, he sold all three brands in one transaction.
