    Who Owns the Relationship? Inside Real Estate’s Consolidation Wave

    Major real estate companies are no longer competing one service at a time. They are building entire ecosystems around listings, lending, technology, data, and the customer relationship. In this episode of Move with Mully, Chris Mullenberg and Chris Parsons break down five major deals reshaping the real estate industry. They examine Compass and Anywhere, Rocket with Redfin and Mr. Cooper, Stone Point and Keller Williams, Real and RE/MAX, and eXp with NextHome. The conversation moves beyond the deal headlines to what consolidation means for agents, brokerage owners, consumers, and the future of listing access.
