The Real Brokerage’s proposed $880 million acquisition of REMAX, pending approval, aims to put the combined company among the top three real estate companies in size, behind Compass and Keller Williams. According to T3 Sixty’s real estate yearbook data, REMAX was already in the top three in terms of volume and side. The merger will significantly narrow the gap with Keller Williams, leaving it still behind Compass. The acquisition follows the big Compass merger and Rocket Companies’ acquisition of Redfin, adding to an ongoing consolidation trend and highlighting the changing landscape of the residential real estate brokerage industry.

If approved later this year, the proposed merger between Real Brokerage and REMAX will continue the ongoing consolidation trend in real estate and reshape the industry’s top three players, according to key indicators tracked by industry observers.
Real and REMAX announced Monday that The Real Brokerage, Inc. has agreed to acquire REMAX Holdings, Inc. in a transaction valued at approximately $880 million.
The merger, expected to close in the second half of this year, won’t be an industry-changer, but it will solidify Real’s position as one of the top three real estate companies by size, behind Compass International Holdings and Keller Williams.
Using data obtained and presented earlier this month by T3 Sixty through the Real Estate Almanac, Inman created an interactive tool that displays the top companies in the United States. This tool can be viewed to highlight data before and after the Real-REMAX merger.
Viewing company-to-company data is a way to compare privately owned brokerages like Real and Douglas Elliman to franchisors that include thousands of individual franchises.
According to the data, REMAX was already among the top three companies in terms of volume and side.
Once the merger is complete, the combined company will be much closer in size and scale to Keller Williams Realty. Both brands will continue to trail Compass in all metrics.
The merger will maintain Real’s position as one of the fastest-growing brands in the real estate industry, while halting REMAX’s recent decline in the United States.
According to 2025 data, Real are growing rapidly in terms of turnover, number of sides and number of agents. In contrast, data shows that REMAX’s trading volume, number of sides, and number of U.S. agents have declined in recent years.
Industry leaders are bracing for a continuation of high-profile mergers. Compass grew into a large brokerage firm after first acquiring @properties in 2025, then completed its acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate earlier this year, forming Compass International Holdings.
In March 2025, Rocket Companies announced it would acquire real estate brokerage and search platform Redfin.
