Core offering

Cleveland Bricks is a Cleveland, Ohio-based residential real estate company that sells and rents single-family homes, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, and lofts in urban Cleveland neighborhoods. The company also develops and builds new residential properties, including new construction projects such as Circle East Townhomes, and offers property management services for its owned rental portfolio.

Product overview

Cleveland Bricks is a Cleveland, Ohio-based real estate company operating as a unified platform offering three core services: real estate sales (including new construction and renovated homes with tax abatement benefits), real estate rentals (apartments, suites, and houses across neighborhoods like Ohio City, Gordon Square, Old Brooklyn, Tremont, and West Boulevard), and property development/building services. The company also operates specialized sub-brands including the Circle East Townhomes new construction project in East Cleveland and manages a referral program. The portfolio spans properties across multiple Cleveland zip codes with features such as modern finishes, in-unit laundry, parking, and pet-friendly options.

Direct peers

• Beazer Homes: Mid-size U.S. homebuilder focused on new construction for sale, including in Ohio markets. Most directly comparable to the new-construction side of Cleveland Bricks' business (Circle East-style for-sale development).
• Compass: Technology-first residential brokerage with significant U.S. market coverage. Overlaps with Cleveland Bricks on the agent-assisted sales/rentals side and represents the kind of platform-driven competitor Cleveland Bricks' WordPress-based site must compete against.
• Keller Williams Realty: One of the largest residential real estate franchise networks in the U.S., with Cleveland-area agents representing both buyers and sellers of homes comparable to those Cleveland Bricks lists for sale.
• eXp Realty: Cloud-based residential brokerage with agents in Ohio; competes in the same buyer/seller representation category and, like Redfin and Compass, represents the technology-enabled brokerage model Cleveland Bricks competes with at the listing-and-lead layer.
• Redfin: Tech-enabled residential brokerage and rentals portal operating nationally, including in Ohio. Competes with Cleveland Bricks for both buyer-seller representation and rental lead generation via its own listing platform and agent network.
• Howard Hanna Real Estate Services: Pittsburgh-headquartered residential brokerage with particularly deep penetration across Northeast Ohio, including Cleveland. Offers property sales, mortgage, title, and insurance, and is the most locally comparable full-service brokerage/management competitor to Cleveland Bricks in the same metro.

Broad incumbents

• D.R. Horton: Largest U.S. homebuilder by volume, active across Ohio. While much broader and larger, it competes with Cleveland Bricks on the new residential construction for-sale category in the same regional demand environment.
• American Homes 4 Rent: Publicly traded single-family rental REIT operating thousands of leased homes across multiple states. Overlaps directly with Cleveland Bricks' build-to-rent and rental management operations, though at materially greater scale.
• Invitation Homes: Largest U.S. single-family rental operator with a national portfolio of leased homes. Comparable to Cleveland Bricks' rental management arm at a vastly larger scale and provides institutional competition in the SFR segment Cleveland Bricks targets.

Others

• Zillow: The dominant U.S. residential real estate marketplace and adjacent services platform. Not a direct competitor to Cleveland Bricks, but the primary upstream demand source for both buyer and renter leads that the company ultimately converts.
