The deal, announced Wednesday morning, is an all-stock transaction that values Fathom Holdings at approximately $53.38 million.
Fathom Holdings, the parent company of fast-growing brokerage firm Fathom Realty, announced Wednesday that it will be acquired by home goods retailer Bed Bath & Beyond.
A statement released Wednesday morning said the deal is an all-stock deal and values Fathom Holdings at approximately $53.38 million. One Fathom share is equivalent to 0.2236 shares of Bed Bath & Beyond.
The statement further explained that the acquisition of Fathom is part of Bed Bath & Beyond’s Everything Home strategy. Its strategy is “centered around three interrelated pillars: home ownership and transactions, omnichannel commerce, and home services,” the statement said.
“Fathom’s integrated platform and technology capabilities are expected to complement Bed Bath & Beyond’s Everything Home strategy and accelerate the combined company’s vision to build the nation’s first end-to-end homeownership platform,” the statement continued.
Among real estate professionals, Fathom is known as part of a fast-growing family of technology-forward brokerages. The company’s most recent earnings report, released in March, showed that its 2025 revenue rose 25% to $420 million as deal value increased by 15%. The company also operates mortgage and title businesses, and its revenue is expected to increase in 2025.
Fathom’s earnings report also states that the company had 14,135 employees as of Dec. 31. This was a 1.2% decrease compared to the same period last year.
In the case of Bed Bath & Beyond, many consumers may still associate the brand with the chain of big box stores that opened in the late 1980s. However, the company that operated these stores went bankrupt in 2023 and liquidated its assets. Online retailer Overstock.com then acquired Bed Bath and Beyond’s intellectual property and rebranded it using the latter company’s name. The company also began opening new retail stores last year.
Fathom’s acquisition, which will push the retailer’s business into new territory, comes at a time when the real estate industry is undergoing significant consolidation. Last year, for example, Rocket acquired Redfin. This year, Compass completed its acquisition of Anywhere. And just last month, eXp World Holdings acquired franchisor NextHome.
As part of the acquisition of Bed Bath & Beyond, Fathom board member Adam Rothstein will serve as interim CEO of the real estate company. Daniel Weinman, Fathom’s vice president of finance, has been named chief financial officer.
In a statement, Rothstein called the deal “a transformational opportunity for Fathom and our shareholders.”
The statement goes on to say that by partnering with Bed Bath & Beyond, Fathom “will have access to millions of retail customers at a critical time in the homebuying process, creating a seamless connection between homebuying, financing and furnishing.”
“Combined with Bed Bath & Beyond, we meaningfully expand our ability to deliver a fully integrated, technology-driven experience for agents and consumers, positioning us for long-term growth,” Rothstein added. “Bed Bath & Beyond’s broad customer reach and strong brand recognition, combined with our scalable real estate technology platform, creates a compelling opportunity to redefine the homeownership lifecycle and build lasting value for our shareholders.”
