Rocket Companies Inc. Partners with Cavaliers for Historic Real Estate Listing

In an unprecedented move that merges sports, community, and real estate, Redfin, a subsidiary of Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), has officially debuted its largest-ever listing: the iconic Rocket Arena in Cleveland. This extraordinary offering not only captures the essence of the arena but also seeks to celebrate the community spirit that defines the city. Set to go live on Redfin.com, the listing opens a new chapter in innovative real estate marketing.

Rocket Arena, which spans an impressive 823,000 square feet, stands as a testament to Cleveland's vibrant sports culture. With seating for 19,432 guests and 118 bathrooms—ensuring no waiting required—this listing is not your typical home search. Redfin and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are co-promoting the venture, are inviting audiences nationwide to experience the unique features of the arena, which will serve as the home for the Cavaliers, the Cleveland Monsters, and the city's WNBA team starting in 2028.

The listing goes beyond the standard home tour, offering an interactive experience that includes a behind-the-scenes look at the venue. Fans can participate in a sweepstakes for a chance to win exclusive experiences, making this initiative a blend of real estate and entertainment.

To further engage the community, Redfin and the Cleveland Cavaliers are hosting a special one-day Open House and Garage Sale on Thursday, April 2, from 5 to 7 p.m. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore Rocket Arena up close, with more than just the usual baked goods. Attendees can purchase exclusive Cavaliers memorabilia and autographed items, all while supporting a good cause; tickets are priced at $2.16, with all proceeds benefiting the Cavs Community Foundation, a nonprofit focused on supporting youth and families throughout Northeast Ohio.

Jason Aleem, Redfin's Chief of Real Estate Services, emphasized the significance of this listing, stating, "At Redfin, we believe home is more than a place, it’s the feeling of being connected to something bigger than yourself." His sentiments reflect the community-focused mission of both Redfin and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

As part of the promotional activities surrounding the listing, fans can enter a sweepstakes to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences, either in-person during the open house or online at Redfin.com. Notable prizes include exclusive access to Rocket Arena for a full day, including dinner on the main court, and premium courtside seats for the upcoming Fan Appreciation Day, honoring the legacy of Cavaliers Chairman Dan Gilbert's late son, Nick Gilbert.

Nic Barlage, CEO of Rock Entertainment Group, which oversees both the Cavaliers and Rocket Arena, highlighted the importance of community engagement in the initiative. "This open house and garage sale offers fans the opportunity to take home a piece of Cavs history, while giving back and showcasing the unique power sport and homeownership possess to bring community together," he stated.

To mark this remarkable listing, a record-breaking Redfin yard sign has been installed outside Rocket Arena, towering at 46 feet with a base measuring 25 by 25 feet. This bold installation serves not only as an advertisement but as an invitation to the community to engage with the listing in a memorable manner.

The listing of Rocket Arena is a pioneering venture that showcases the potential of merging sports, community, and technology in the real estate sector. With a focus on creating meaningful connections, Redfin and the Cleveland Cavaliers are redefining the home-buying experience while emphasizing the significance of community.
