What is Realogy, and what is it called now?

Realogy was the parent company behind residential real estate brokerage, franchising and related services, including brands such as Coldwell Banker and CENTURY 21. It adopted the name Anywhere Real Estate in 2022. Compass completed its acquisition of Anywhere on January 9, 2026. A report that still lists Realogy as an independent current parent company is missing both changes.

Follow the company, not just the sign

A brokerage brand, a local franchise office and a corporate parent are different entities. A local office can continue operating under a familiar brand while the parent’s name or ownership changes. Seeing an old Realogy logo on a slide does not mean the local office changed names twice, or that a particular sales agent was employed by the parent. The company’s 2022 announcement and Compass’s acquisition filing establish the timeline.

How should you clean up a vendor or competitor list?

Suppose a market map has separate rows for “Realogy” and “Anywhere.” Keep the historic names as aliases with effective dates; do not count a rebrand as a new competitor. Record the later Compass acquisition as a separate ownership event. Then check the operating brand and relevant date before assigning revenue, office counts or contracts. This distinction also comes up when researching CoreLogic’s change to Cotality: a name change and an acquisition are different events.
