Led Anywhere through merger negotiations

Compass and Anywhere Real Estate closed their $1.6 billion all-stock merger on January 9, 2026, creating Compass International Holdings—the world's largest residential real estate brokerage. The combined entity controls 340,000 agents across every major U.S. city and 120 countries, uniting premium brands like Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Sotheby's International Realty, and Compass under CEO Robert Reffkin. The deal cleared antitrust review despite senators warning it would squeeze independent mom-and-pop brokerages.
