Home to the most recognized residential real estate brands in the world.
Anywhere Real Estate is the largest full-service residential real estate services company in the United States, operating through a portfolio of franchise brands and owned brokerage offices. As of January 2026, Anywhere merged with Compass to form Compass International Holdings, a move that consolidates two of the largest names in residential real estate under one structure. For family offices with direct real estate holdings or principals seeking high-end residential transactions, the company's Sotheby's International Realty and Coldwell Banker Global Luxury brands represent the most relevant access points within its network.
The company operates across four distinct business lines that could intersect with family office needs:
Anywhere is not a family office service provider in any direct sense. It does not offer investment management, reporting, consolidated custody, or advisory services for private wealth structures. A family office principal might encounter Anywhere's brands when transacting on luxury residential property or managing employee relocations for a family business, but the firm's core orientation is toward retail homebuyers, sellers, and real estate agents. Pricing for real estate transactions follows standard commission-based market norms and is not publicly disclosed in a structured way. The January 2026 merger with Compass introduces additional uncertainty about how the combined entity's brands and service lines will be structured going forward.
Anywhere Brands encompasses an expansive network of residential and commercial real estate brokerages throughout the world, delivering value to sales agents and brokers by providing powerful marketing, mentorship and training, general sales support systems, and other tools to help their businesses thrive.
