A Big Week in Real Estate: Compass & Coldwell Banker To Merge
What a week it has been for real estate—and for our organization—with the announcement that Coldwell Banker/Coldwell Banker Global Luxury and Compass will merge in 2026. While the deal isn’t finalized until approximately Q2 2026, and it will take several months before everything is completed, it’s exciting to see how two industry leaders are poised to bring their strengths together.
Compass brings a reputation for cutting-edge technology and innovation, while Coldwell Banker offers unmatched legacy, a trusted brand since 1906, and scale through Coldwell Banker & Anywhere Real Estate. Together, this combination will create new opportunities for clients and the industry as a whole.
It’s important to remember that Coldwell Banker already leads from a position of strength. Our market share, our Coldwell Banker Global Luxury presence, and our local dominance in Minnesota set the foundation for continued success. Paired with our relentless focus on exceptional client care, we are in the strongest possible position to thrive in the years ahead.
At the end of the day, performance isn’t determined by headlines or speculation—it’s determined by focus: focusing on what we can control and the care we show our clients. That is what defines us, and it’s where we will continue to succeed.
