Compass buying Anywhere is a huge friggin deal on the Real Estate world..

Many haven’t heard of Anywhere but they own Sothebys, Coldwell Banker, better homes and gardens, Century 21, ERA. They bought Latter and Blum/Gardner 2 years ago.

Unconfirmed Price is @ $1.6 billion. That will bring Combined value @ $10billion. This will make Compass the largest in the world 340,000 agents in over 120’countries.

This could have ripple effects all over…

Compass strikes me as the wework version for realtors.

Up until the time their stock bottomed at $2/sh they billed themselves as an AI company. Then they laid off all their IT staff and started offering unsustainable splits to poach agents and gain market share.

Now it seems like they’re working to cannibalize the market while creating their own first look MLS system so they can bank both sides of every transaction.

Not happy.

Yeah the stock goes from 20 to 2 in 4 years yet they have enough money to make these huge acquisitions.

I’d be real careful if I was a company selling to them. Clawbacks can be a bitch.

They do all stock acquisitions. On its face they just seem to be issuing a bunch of shares for another unprofitable company with a ton of debt.

There’s always been questions about their business model since it was VC money trying to apply the uber model to real estate. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything from anyone within the real estate industry that believed the model was sustainable, yet now they’ll be the largest firm in the world.
