Today marks a historic moment for our industry: the merger transaction between Compass and Anywhere has been completed, officially forming Compass International Holdings (‘CIH’).
What this means for you
At its core, this merger expands the resources behind my business while allowing me to continue serving you with the same personal approach you expect. Practically, this brings several benefits:
-
Stronger market reach and exposure
Your home and your real estate goals now benefit from one of the largest agent and buyer networks in the country, including enhanced national and international referral connectivity. -
Improved technology and data insights
The combined platforms bring better analytics, pricing intelligence, and marketing tools, helping me position homes more precisely and advise buyers more confidently. -
Expanded support services
From relocation and lending to marketing and transaction support, the broader ecosystem allows for smoother coordination and more options when needed.
What does not change
Just as important, here is what remains exactly the same:
-
I remain your direct point of contact.
Your strategy, negotiations, and decisions are handled by me—not by a call center or corporate team. -
My advice remains independent and client-first.
I continue to recommend what is best for your situation, whether buying, selling, or planning ahead. -
My service level and standards do not change.
If anything, this merger gives me more tools behind the scenes—without changing the personalized, hands-on service you’re used to.
Real estate is still a relationship-driven business. Technology and scale matter, but judgment, local expertise, and advocacy matter more. That remains my focus.
If you have questions about how this may impact a specific decision you’re considering now or in the future, I’m always happy to talk.
Thank you, as always, for your trust.
Warm regards,
Ramesh Rao
