Rocket Mortgage

A group of lawmakers questioned why the FTC and DOJ didn't step in to prevent Rocket Companies' acquisition of Redfin. They want answers by June 17.

A stockholder previously filed a lawsuit seeking to delay the Redfin shareholder vote scheduled for June 4.

The Detroit company intends to pay at least $1.9 billion of the servicer's senior notes due through 2028, and could cover another $3 billion due through 2032.

The tentative mergers, valued at a combined $11 billion, are the next big phase in Rocket's plan to become a "one-stop-shop" mortgage originator.

Rocket Companies and Redfin argue in court filings that a lawsuit seeking to delay their merger is motivated by the plaintiff's personal gain, not concern for investors.

The numbers suggest Rocket Mortgage's acquisition of Mr. Cooper won't add enough dollar volume to outpace its closest competitor but they also show the deal has other benefits.

The plaintiff is asking for a Seattle federal court to postpone the Redfin shareholder vote, scheduled for June 4, until the company disseminates supplemental information curing the alleged omissions in the proxy filing.

Company management touted its wins, including with total volume of $21 billion, the Redfin and Mr. Cooper purchases plus a record quarter for home equity.

Starting April 22, mortgage brokers will be able to access Rocket Pro's loan pricing, interest rates and product eligibility, the company announced.

The advocacy executive said there was a lot of misinformation regarding Rocket Pro and that the "rumors versus reality is very different."
