TORONTO, March 30, 2026 (GlobeNewswire) -- ReAlpha Tech Corp. (CSE: RELP) today announced the appointment of Thomas Kutzman as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective April 1, 2026. This strategic move signals ReAlpha's commitment to solidifying its position as a leader in the rapidly evolving landscape of fractional real estate investment and underscores its ambitions for continued, substantial growth.

Mr. Kutzman brings to ReAlpha over twenty years of financial leadership experience, heavily concentrated in the technology and real estate sectors - a particularly valuable combination given ReAlpha's core business model. His recent tenure as CFO of a private equity-backed fintech firm demonstrates a proven ability to navigate the complexities of high-growth companies, successfully guiding them through periods of rapid scaling. This expertise will be crucial as ReAlpha aims to broaden its platform and attract a wider investor base.

"We are thrilled to welcome Thomas to the ReAlpha team," stated Farhad Hossen, CEO of ReAlpha Tech Corp. "His extensive experience in finance, particularly his understanding of scaling operations in a high-growth environment, will be invaluable as we continue to execute on our growth strategy and expand our real estate investment platform, particularly our fractional ownership model."

The Rise of Fractional Real Estate and ReAlpha's Position

The appointment of a seasoned CFO like Kutzman comes at a pivotal moment for the real estate industry. Traditionally, real estate investment has been largely inaccessible to many, requiring significant capital outlay. However, platforms like ReAlpha are disrupting this paradigm by enabling fractional ownership - allowing individuals to purchase shares in income-generating properties with smaller investment amounts. This "democratization of real estate investment," as described by Mr. Kutzman, is a key driver of ReAlpha's success and a trend expected to continue gaining momentum.

Analysts predict significant growth in the fractional real estate market over the next decade, fueled by factors such as rising property values, increasing demand for passive income, and a growing interest among millennial and Gen Z investors in alternative asset classes. ReAlpha, with its proprietary technology platform, is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend. The platform streamlines the process of identifying, acquiring, and managing income-producing properties, and then dividing ownership into easily tradable shares.

What Kutzman's Arrival Means for ReAlpha's Future

Mr. Kutzman's role will extend beyond traditional financial oversight. He will be instrumental in securing further funding for ReAlpha's expansion plans, potentially through venture capital, private equity, or even public offerings. His experience in fintech will also be critical in optimizing ReAlpha's platform for scalability and efficiency, ensuring a seamless experience for investors and property managers alike.

"I am excited to join ReAlpha Tech Corp. at this pivotal time and contribute to the company's next chapter," Kutzman commented. "I am impressed by the team's vision and commitment to democratizing access to real estate investment, and I look forward to leveraging my experience to support the company's continued success."

Specifically, Kutzman will likely focus on:

• Financial Reporting & Compliance: Ensuring accurate and transparent financial reporting to maintain investor confidence and comply with regulatory requirements.
• Capital Allocation: Strategically allocating capital to maximize returns and drive growth, including identifying new investment opportunities and optimizing existing property portfolios.
• Strategic Partnerships: Forging partnerships with financial institutions and other key players in the real estate ecosystem.
• Technology Integration: Working closely with ReAlpha's technology team to integrate financial systems and enhance platform functionality.
• Expansion into New Markets: Identifying and evaluating opportunities for ReAlpha to expand its fractional ownership model into new geographical regions.

Looking Ahead: ReAlpha's Growth Strategy

ReAlpha's strategy centers on curating a diverse portfolio of income-generating properties across various asset classes - including residential, commercial, and industrial real estate. By leveraging its technology platform, ReAlpha aims to offer investors access to a wider range of investment options than traditionally available, with lower barriers to entry. The company is also focusing on building a strong community of investors and providing educational resources to empower them to make informed decisions.

While the company demonstrates a promising trajectory, it's important to note, as outlined in their disclosures, that forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may vary materially. However, with a seasoned CFO now onboard, ReAlpha is signaling a clear intention to aggressively pursue its growth strategy and solidify its position as a leading innovator in the fractional real estate investment space.
