New York Probes Compass Real Estate

New York’s Attorney General has launched an antitrust probe into Compass, the nation’s largest residential real estate firm, following its $1.6 billion acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate in January. The investigation, centered in Compass’s home state, could lead to divestitures, agent cuts, or fines if the company is found to wield excessive market power. While some speculate the probe ties to Compass’s ties to the Trump administration, early signs suggest the company is already adjusting—like ending a licensing deal and losing agents post-merger. The New York case may also prompt similar investigations in California and Illinois, but for now, most states are watching from the sidelines.
