Show Notes
Compass just pulled off a blockbuster — a $10 billion all-stock takeover of Anywhere Real Estate, parent of Coldwell Banker, Century 21, and Sotheby’s Realty. The move makes Compass the biggest residential brokerage on the planet with 340,000 agents across 120 countries. But investors aren’t celebrating — the stock dropped on fears of culture clashes, dilution, and lawsuits with Zillow. Will Compass unlock $225 million in promised savings and dominate the industry, or did it just buy itself a massive headache? Tune in for the breakdown.
