Compass, Inc.

Anywhere Real Estate Inc.

Real estate broker Compass has gone from a local company to a business with a capitalization of about $10 billion, and offered a new look at the scheme of home sales - with a gradual withdrawal of objects from exclusive access to the open market. In January, Compass closed a merger deal with rival Anywhere Real Estate - as a result, the brokerage will control nearly 20% of U.S. home sales volume. Analysts believe the merger could support Compass' market position and share price despite antitrust risks and uncertainty in the housing market.
