Brokerage Mergers and MLS Shifts

The real estate landscape is heating up as major brokerages like Compass, Real-REMAX, and eXp-NextHome make bold moves—Compass merging with Anywhere, Real-REMAX buying REMAX, and eXp snapping up NextHome. Despite the shake-up, most agents remain confident their models can weather the storm, betting on consumer demand and MLS cooperation to keep the listing market open. Interestingly, agents at newer merged firms see themselves as a counterbalance to Compass, not just a rival. When it comes to a national MLS, most non-Compass agents prefer local control, while Compass agents push harder for it. And on pre-marketing listings? Most clients haven’t asked about them yet—even at Compass, where they’re more common. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
