Beats analyst expectations

Realogy Holdings (RLGY) reported second-quarter net income of $68 million and basic earnings per share for the quarter of $0.47, beating estimates by $0.03.

With this transaction, Realogy is acquiring ZipRealty's residential brokerage operations with 23 offices across the United States and its integrated real estate technology platform, including its recently released private-label solution for brokers.
