Compass and Anywhere, Real and REMAX, eXp Realty and NextHome: In a real estate landscape defined by rapid change, these landmark consolidations have become some of the industry’s most talked-about trends.
In May, when virtual-focused brokerage eXp announced it is buying NextHome, it brought together another high-growth, tech-focused company and a more traditional franchisor, as the industry rapidly accelerates through an unprecedented period of consolidation.
In an upcoming session at RISMedia’s CEO & Leadership Exchange, being held Sept. 30-Oct. 2 at the Fairmont Georgetown in Washington, D.C., eXp Realty and NextHome CEO Leo Pareja and NextHome President James Dwiggins will discuss eXp’s acquisition of NexHome and share their perspectives on what this landmark move signals for the future of brokerage growth, agent value and the evolving competitive landscape.
The session, titled, “Consolidation Up Close: eXp Realty and NextHome CEOs Discuss the Benefits and Challenges of Acquisition,” will take place on Thursday, Oct. 1 from 2:15-2:35 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom. RISMedia Founder and CEO John Featherston will moderate this important conversation.
