Renovo Capital Acquires RealtyTrac Inc.
Renovo Capital, LLC through its Renwood Opportunities Fund, has acquired substantially all the assets of RealtyTrac, Inc. Renwood Opportunities Fund provided capital to the company, now named Renwood RealtyTrac, to reduce debt, increase working capital and fund growth as the company expands existing business lines and pursues new business partners.
Founded in 1996, RealtyTrac, Inc. is an online marketplace of residential foreclosure data, with more than 1.5 million default, auction and bank-owned listings from over 2,200 U.S. counties, along with detailed property, loan and home sales data.

RealtyTrac’s foreclosure data has also been used by the Federal Reserve, FBI, U.S. Senate Joint Economic Committee and Banking Committee, U.S. Treasury Department, and numerous state housing and banking departments to help evaluate foreclosure trends and address policy issues related to foreclosures.
“This is an exciting time for the company,” according to Brandon Moore, the new CEO of RealtyTrac. “The combination of introducing new leadership to energize the company, along with the addition of available capital to invest across the business, effectively positions RealtyTrac to continue its leadership role as the go-to source for foreclosure information. Renwood’s ownership, in partnership with Rosewood and its real estate expertise, provides an outstanding platform for RealtyTrac to build upon its mission to make the transacting of real estate easier for consumers, investors and real estate professionals alike.”
