What to know about Anywhere following acquisition by Compass

In the wake of Compass’ acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate — formerly known as Realogy — here’s a primer on Anywhere’s trajectory as a major housing market player.

Anywhere oversees and franchises some of the most recognizable names in residential real estate, including:

• Coldwell Banker
• Century 21
• Corcoran
• ERA Real Estate
• Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate
• Sotheby’s International Realty.

In addition to its brokerage and franchise operations, Anywhere provides integrated services such as title and settlement and relocation services, giving it a broad reach across the real estate transaction lifecycle.

Volume, transaction sides

RealTrends Verified ranks Anywhere Advisors — a division of Anywhere that operates the brokerage operations for company-owned offices of Coldwell Banker, Corcoran Group, and Sotheby’s International Realty — as the nation’s No. 2 brokerage by sales volume. (2024 data, excluding franchise results.)

The firm recorded 246,728 closed transaction sides and $183.81 billion in sales volume, second only to Compass.

Anywhere reported a year-over-year increase in revenue and net income for the second quarter of 2025 — citing cost savings, higher home prices and improved volume trends as key drivers.

Anywhere has also been active in investing in artificial intelligence across its businesses. Eric Chesin, Chief Strategy Officer of Anywhere Real Estate, took the stage at HousingWire’s AI Summit to share details of the company’s AI strategy. Chesin highlighted two recently launched AI integrations: the first with an Amazon product called Amazon Q, an AI agent integrated with Anywhere’s call center. The AI listens live to every conversation and suggests language to best answer customer questions.

Following the merger with Compass, the pro forma business will bring together roughly 340,000 real estate professionals across the U.S. and in nearly 120 countries into a shared network. Compass will also gain the benefit of Anywhere’s diversified revenue streams, bolstering its existing title operation and adding relocation services and insurance offerings.

Q2 growth

Anywhere added 13 new U.S. franchisees and three international expansions in Q2.

The company reported second-quarter revenue of $1.7 billion in Q2, a $13 million increase from the same period last year. Net income attributable to Anywhere was $27 million, up $3 million year-over-year. Operating EBITDA reached $133 million, while adjusted net income came in at $36 million, down $4 million from the prior year.

Anywhere said combined closed transaction volume remained flat compared to the second quarter of 2024, with a 4% decrease in transaction units offset by a 4% increase in average sale price.

The company reported stronger performance among its luxury brands — Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, Corcoran and Sotheby’s — which saw a 3.5% year-over-year increase in closed transaction volume.

As of July 21, the company reported mid-single-digit increases in closed transaction volume and a 9% rise in open volume — driven by higher prices and transaction sides. Advisor listings increased 11% year-over-year.
