Oslo, 26 September 2022 - Adevinta ASA (ADE) has sold its Mexican online classifieds businesses Segundamano and Vivanuncios to Navent Group, an operator of online real estate marketplaces in Latin America. The two businesses will come together under the management of Inmuebles24, Navent's Mexican classifieds operation, which will complement their existing real estate listing offerings. Both brands will continue to operate alongside each other in the market.
Vivanuncios is one of Mexico’s largest online property marketplaces, focusing on professional sellers and developers, while Segundamano is one of Mexico’s leading horizontal marketplaces with a strong real estate category suited for private sellers and smaller professionals. The impact of the sale of these two businesses on Adevinta’s financials is considered immaterial.
“We are pleased to have found the right local buyer in Navent Group, who is very experienced in Latin America, focusing on developing its online marketplaces over the long term,” commented Antoine Jouteau, CEO Adevinta.
“The completion of the divestiture of our Mexican marketplaces is another important milestone in the execution of our Growing at Scale strategy, as we continue to focus on our five core markets in Europe.
“We would like to thank everyone at Segundamano and Vivanuncios for their contributions to the business over the years, as they are now transferring to Navent Group.
“Adevinta will continue to support both Mexican marketplaces and their employees throughout the transition period, to ensure continuity for their businesses and their users.”
Ricard Carvallo, Country Manager at Inmuebles24, said: "Inmuebles24's mission is to offer Mexicans the best and most friendly experience when searching for a new place to live and this acquisition will enable us to deliver on our promises and beyond.
“Our intentions are to bring a wider selection of properties throughout the entire country, for the benefit of our customers, through the combination of the three brands."
