Fourteen years later, that early foundation has translated into a disciplined global scale.

In December, The Agency announced the opening of its 150th office, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The milestone is significant not simply because of the number, but because of how the company has grown. In 2025 alone, The Agency added 25 offices across the U.S., Europe, Spain, Central America, and Canada.

From a WAV Group M&A perspective, there are three primary ways a real estate brokerage grows. The first is through mergers and acquisitions. The second is by opening new offices organically. The third is a blended strategy that combines both approaches.

Most large brokerages rely heavily on M&A. Acquisitions offer speed, instant scale, and near-term revenue. They also bring integration challenges, cultural dilution, technology complexity, and margin pressure.

A much smaller group of brokerages operating at scale have chosen a different path. Companies like The Agency and William Raveis have relied primarily on opening offices rather than acquiring existing firms. This approach takes more time and requires greater discipline, but it allows leadership to preserve brand standards, agent experience, and operating culture as the organization expands.

The Agency’s mission from day one has been to connect people to the world’s most extraordinary ways of living, while operating with intention and integrity. That mission now spans 14 countries and 150 offices.

“Each new office represents much more than a pin on a map to us,” said Founder and CEO Mauricio Umansky. “It’s a testament to the global resonance of our brand and the people and relationships that define it.”

Co-Founder and Vice Chairman Billy Rose reflected on the company’s early days, noting that the journey from a single Beverly Hills office to a global footprint happened without losing sight of the original vision. “Every new office still fills me with pride and gratitude. Reaching 150 is an amazing moment.”

President Rainy Hake Austin reinforced that the strategy is as much about consistency as it is about growth. “As our reach extends across the globe, we remain steadfast in our commitment to bespoke service and the boutique spirit that sets us apart.”

From an M&A and growth strategy standpoint, The Agency’s 150-office milestone is noteworthy because it demonstrates that organic expansion can still succeed at global scale. It requires patience, leadership alignment, and a clear value proposition that attracts top agents willing to build, not just plug into, a platform.

In an industry where growth is often measured by how many companies are acquired, The Agency offers a reminder that opening offices remains a powerful, if more demanding, path to scale when brand, culture, and long-term value creation matter most.

Few brokers have expanded during the market slowdown. Even fewer have done it through acquisition. Anthony Lamacchia, CEO & Broker Owner of

Lamacchia credits part of his success to the principles outlined in Acquiring More Profit, WAV Group’s book that helps brokerage leaders grow strategically through mergers and acquisitions. He didn’t just read the book; he operationalized it, building a repeatable system for finding, negotiating, and integrating brokerages that align with his culture and vision.

Taking place November 20–21, 2025 in Boston, Anthony is sharing exactly how he did it.

At his Growth Through Acquisitions Event, he’ll unpack every stage of the process that fueled Lamacchia Realty’s rapid expansion, including:

• How to identify and approach the right acquisition opportunities
• How to structure and negotiate Letters of Intent and Purchase Agreements
• How to manage culture shifts and onboarding post-acquisition
• How to structure payment terms and navigate financial integration

Attendees will also receive Lamacchia Realty’s Growth Through Acquisition Playbook, complete with templates, legal documents, and lessons learned, and hear directly from past sellers who have been through the process.

The post Inside the acquisition system fueling one of real estate’s fastest-growing brokerages appeared first on WAV Group Consulting.

This fall, Compass announced plans to merge with Anywhere Real Estate in what may become the largest acquisition in residential brokerage history. The deal could unite over 340,000 agents across more than 120 countries and set a new precedent for how scale, technology, and capital converge in our industry.

At WAV Group, we have long believed that consolidation is not just about size. It is about leverage and the ability to turn scale into sustained profitability. This merger should prompt every brokerage leader to revisit their own growth strategy.

What brokers can learn from Compass and Anywhere

Mergers are never just about numbers. They are about the alignment of culture, systems, and platform. The Compass-Anywhere combination will test whether even the largest players can integrate quickly while maintaining brand strength and agent trust. One thing that we know for sure is that agents will vote with their feet. If the new organization does not support the individual agent or team, they will walk. 

Behind the headlines are lessons every brokerage can apply today:

• Scale must serve strategy. Growth through acquisition only works if it strengthens your market position and operational focus.
• Integration determines success. Culture, technology, and financial systems must connect before the ink dries.
• Profit comes from platform control. The future belongs to brokerages that own their data, brand, and earn consumer relationships, not those that rent them or buy them from a third party. 

From the book: acquiring more profit

In my book Acquiring More Profit, I break down the process of growing a brokerage through mergers and acquisitions. The goal is not just financial growth but long-term strength.

Key concepts include:

• Deal discipline. Identify targets that fit your culture and profit model, not just your geography.
• Valuation frameworks. Measure potential through EBITDA, brand synergy, and agent retention value. Look for complimentary superpowers in leadership.
• Integration sequencing. Align people, platforms, and processes to protect cash flow and reputation.
• Sustainable leverage. Convert each acquisition into cumulative advantage, not just added volume.

I recently joined the Real Estate Insiders Podcast to discuss the book and the mechanics of profitable M&A in brokerage. You can listen or watch here:

 Real Estate Insiders Podcast – Victor Lund on Acquiring More Profit

In the episode, I talk about:

• how to recognize when acquisition is the right growth move
• why most integrations fail after the deal
• how brokerages can turn market turbulence into strategic opportunity

The next move for brokerage leaders

The Compass-Anywhere deal signals that we have entered a new era. Capital is consolidating, and platforms are competing for digital sovereignty. The question for independent brokerages is not whether to grow, but how to grow profitably, intentionally, and with control over their future.

Mergers and acquisitions are no longer reserved for the largest firms. With clarity of purpose and operational readiness, any brokerage can use acquisition to accelerate its trajectory.

When owners try to go it alone, two mistakes happen almost every time. First, they overvalue their firm because they’re too close to it. Second, they often undersell, leaving money on the table because they don’t know how to position the company or connect with the right buyers.

What strong preparation looks like

If you think an exit might be in your future—whether that’s two years away or ten—there are a few disciplines that matter most:

• Keep clean financials. Buyers want to see profitability, growth, and consistency. Sloppy books will lower your valuation.
• Know your worth. Commissioning a professional valuation on a regular basis gives you a realistic view of what your company would command in today’s market.
• Build relationships early. The best deals come together when there’s already trust between buyer and seller. Cultivate connections with peer brokerages long before you consider a confidential conversation about selling.

These steps aren’t just theory. They are spelled out in detail in our book Acquiring More Profit and the companion workbook, which walk you through the process of preparing your brokerage for either side of a transaction.

How WAV Group M&A helps

Our M&A practice is a full-service representation for brokerages of all sizes, working with firms who are ready to grow through acquisition or owners planning for a successful exit. We guide clients through valuations, deal structuring, buyer identification, and negotiations—all with the goal of maximizing the outcome and protecting your legacy.

This week, Victor Lund held a seminar on brokerage M&A at the Florida REALTORS conference. If your organization would like to host a similar conversation, he is happy to speak at brokerage forums and leadership meetings to help firms better understand how to plan for growth or prepare for a successful exit. Fill out the contact form below.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, don’t wait until the moment you’re ready to act. Start by downloading our book or reach out below to our team of M&A experts to talk through your plans. The best exits are built well before the “For Sale” sign ever goes up.

To them, value isn’t just about revenue. They’re asking:

• Is this business profitable – and consistently so?
• Will it run without the current owner involved every day?
• Are there systems and documented processes in place?
• Will the team stay, and will the culture remain intact?

These questions aren’t just theoretical. They’re deal-makers or deal-breakers. The most attractive brokerages are the ones that run like businesses, not personalities. They have clear operations manuals, repeatable success systems, and leadership ready to carry the torch. If your business is heavily reliant on you, it’s a red flag for any serious buyer.

It’s also worth considering what buyers don’t want to see:

• Inconsistent bookkeeping or messy financials
• High agent turnover
• Unclear tech stacks or siloed data
• No plan for succession

The good news? All of this is fixable – with the right plan.

Acquiring More Profit is built to help you identify and strengthen the factors that make your brokerage valuable in the eyes of a buyer. The course walks you through how to prepare your business for sale – while increasing its value in the process.

You’ve already done the hard part. You built it. Now it’s time to make sure it’s ready for someone else to say yes.

The post What buyers look for in a brokerage appeared first on WAV Group Consulting.

With the sale of REColorado and the move for MLSs to become more independent entities from their Shareholder Associations, many MLSs are starting to think about how much their organizations are worth and whether they would ever consider selling.  

While understanding your organization’s value is essential, making a well thought out decision to sell is far more complex. The smartest MLS leaders are preparing now—before an unsolicited offer lands on their desk.

Having a clear framework in place helps you evaluate opportunities objectively, rather than reacting under pressure. The following are the key questions your MLS should be ready to answer—long before a buyer comes knocking.

It’s a lot easier to carefully and thoughtfully discuss and plan what criteria would be acceptable BEFORE an unsolicited offer comes your way.  If your MLS has answered key questions about how the MLS would operate post-sale and how the new owner will take care of your MLS customers as well or better than you do today, then you will know what to ask for from a potential suitor.

Here are my recommendations of the topics an MLS can discuss and articulate long before a potential buyer comes knocking at your door:

• Governance – Who’s in Charge?   Would you want to maintain the same nominations and board election/appointment process you have today?  Would you want board members to be paid if a third-party company takes over?  Would you want board members to serve for longer terms?  Who would be a part of nominating and choosing board leadership? What control will the brokers in your market have about who serves on the board?  Who has the authority to remove someone from the board that is not representing the best interests of participating brokers?  How do you know those that are leading the company are qualified and clearly understand the nuances of the residential real estate industry? 

• Decision-making Authority?  Today, most MLSs have safeguards built in. The board cannot go rogue without some oversight or approval from their shareholder association(s). Some decisions even require a full subscriber vote before they can be ratified. If a private entity buys the MLS who will have the right to decide if the organization should merge with another organization, change the business model, or the philosophy/requirements for data quality and compliance, as an example?   

• Motivation: Profit vs. Purpose?   While many MLSs are for profit entities from a taxation perspective, they really do not chase ever-increasing revenues and profitability like “real” for profit companies do. They focus most on providing the most comprehensive suite of technologies, support and training they can and delivering the highest quality data to maximize marketing opportunities they can. Will your new owner maintain that philosophy, or will they look for ways to increase prices, or push upsells? 

• Will the new owner “Level the Playing Field”?   Many MLSs today carefully steer around the service offerings of their largest brokers to avoid “levelling the playing field.”  Some do not offer transaction management, for example, because their brokers have claimed that transaction management oversight technologies are clearly the purview of brokers only. Others have avoided offering or heavily promoting consumer-facing websites because brokers feel as though sites compete with their online marketing efforts. Will the new owner respect these carve-outs or will they ignore them and sell whatever they can sell, cutting in to brokers’ value proposition. 

• Fair Display Guidelines maintained?  When MLSs offer consumer-facing websites or mobile apps, they adhere to the Fair Display Guidelines. MLSs, unlike 3rd parties do not charge advertising dollars on their sites. Participating brokers are in control of all leads created by their listings.  A broker can decide if all the leads from their listings go to a centralized lead routing desk or if they are assigned to listing agents. If a for-profit entity buys your MLS, will they respect the hallowed principles of Fair Display Guidelines or will they turn the website into a revenue stream where they sell leads to the highest bidder?  

• Follow NAR Rules and Regulations?  While there is much debate these guys about whether to follow NAR MLS Rules and Regulations because they have led to very expensive settlements for $2 billion + brokerages, most MLSs today, even those that are privately owned adhere to NAR rules pretty closely. With a new entity not bound by NAR policy will they follow the traditional rules of operation, or will they invent their own?  Will they get buy-in from brokers or will they create rules that serve the best interests of their corporation?  

• What is the scope of services offered by the acquired MLS?  What if a potential suitor comes to you, but to pay for the acquisition they cut back the scope of technologies offered, cut back support hours/staff or scale back training significantly? What level of services, support and training are a “gotta have”?  Before you get into a reactionary mode when an offer comes your way, think about what you cannot live without. You may want to do a deep diver on engagement and appreciation of the services offered by fielding a customer engagement and satisfaction survey like the WAV Group Customer Experience Index – add ink hereto get a quantitative read on your organization’s biggest strengths and most appreciated services, support and training. 

Will they care about Technology Engagement?  How committed will the new owners be supporting users with effective and comprehensive training and marketing that helps every subscriber get the most out of their subscription? 

• Will they be transparent and continually chase improved Customer Satisfaction?  Today, many MLSs field customer satisfaction surveys like the WAV Group Customer Experience Index (add link) annually.  Progressive MLSs carefully examine and respond to suggestions from their customers and continually pursue improvement. Will the new company take customer satisfaction that seriously or will they simply provide services and not take the time to listen carefully and respond to the ever-changing needs of practitioners and their clients? 

• Will there be a good cultural match and will they maintain your staff?   Assuming the new entity will want to maintain your staff and your CEO, at least for a time, it’s important that you carefully examine the culture of the company acquiring you. Do you believe their corporate culture is aligned with yours?  Do you believe your staff will thrive with their leadership?  Many acquisitions that fail are borne out of a bad cultural match. It is also important to understand how much of the staff they will retain and what functions may be eliminated due to redundancies. 

• How/When will they pay the MLS?  Sometimes acquisitions have an “earn out” period – meaning that the organization does not get paid completely for several years. This approach is designed to ensure the current owners have an incentive to create a smooth transition and set up the company up for future success. Many brokerage acquisitions include these types of clauses. You must determine how and when the organization would get paid. For example, what if the deal includes an earn out, but the new owners decide to significantly change pricing or broker participation opportunities. Your brokers don’t respond well to the changes, and they move to a competitive neighboring MLS significantly reducing revenues. If you agree to an earn out clause, the value of what the shareholders get paid could be reduced significantly.  

Here’s another scenario: Sometimes companies get paid partially in cash and partially in stock of the company acquiring them. How/who would evaluate the mix of cash vs. stock and how would you determine if the value of the stock in the purchasing entity is a good bet for future growth? Without someone at your side that knows what you are willing to accept, you could sell the company for much less than it’s worth.

These are just a few of the criteria WAV Group suggests you examine. Selling a company successfully is a lot more complicated than you might think.

If you need help getting a baseline valuation of your MLS, we’re here to help. George Slusser, head of WAV Group’s M and A division has completed thousands of valuations for real estate organizations. Second, if you need help documenting the criteria under which a sale would be possible, Marilyn Wilson, Founder and CEO and head of our MLS Division can facilitate a process for you.

Brokerage consolidation is afoot across America. WAV Group hosted a webinar on Tuesday, February 4th at 1pm EST/10am PST and heard from leaders at Howard Hanna and Compass along with the WAV Group M&A team to gain insights on the fundamentals of M&A forecast for 2025.  Watch the recording below!

As the real estate industry continues to evolve, 2025 may mark a significant turning point for brokerage firms across the United States. With shifting market conditions, pressure on buyside commissions,  increased operational costs, anti-trust litigation, and the rapid advancement of technology, industry experts predict that a wave of mergers could reshape the brokerage landscape.

Market Pressures Driving Consolidation

Several factors are pushing brokerages toward consolidation. Interest rates, which remain a key driver of housing affordability, continue to influence buyer behavior. If rates remain high, transaction volumes may stay suppressed, prompting smaller and mid-sized firms to seek partnerships with larger players to remain competitive. Additionally, commission compression, driven by ongoing lawsuits and changing industry regulations, is squeezing brokerage profits, making mergers an attractive strategy for survival.

Technology as a Catalyst

The role of technology in real estate brokerage has never been more critical. Artificial intelligence (AI), customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and predictive analytics are transforming how agents interact with clients and manage transactions. Brokerages that lack the resources to invest in these technologies may find themselves at a disadvantage. By merging, firms can pool resources to enhance their technological capabilities, offering better tools to agents and superior service to clients.

The Rise of Super Brokerages

Recent years have seen the emergence of national and regional “super brokerages” that dominate multiple markets. These firms, backed by private equity or large corporate entities, are well-positioned to acquire smaller competitors. The growth of the 100% commission model, digital-first brokerages, and alternative transaction models further incentivizes traditional firms to merge in order to scale up and remain competitive.

Challenges and Considerations

Despite the potential benefits, mergers are not without challenges. Cultural alignment, integration of technology platforms, and brand positioning are key factors that must be carefully managed. Additionally, regulatory scrutiny could increase as the industry consolidates, potentially leading to new antitrust concerns.

What’s Next?

As 2025 unfolds, the brokerage industry will likely witness increased deal-making activity. For brokers and agents, staying informed about market trends and potential opportunities will be crucial. Whether through strategic partnerships, acquisitions, or full-scale mergers, the real estate industry appears poised for a transformative year ahead.

The workshop, moderated by WAV Group CEO Victor Lund, featured industry experts Brad Patt – BHHS Fox and Roach, George Slusser – WAV Group M&A, and David Gumpper – WAV Group Technologies, who shared insights on how brokerages can leverage buyer agreements to significantly increase their enterprise value.

Key Takeaways:

• Homebuyers as Assets: Brad Patt discussed how BHHS Fox and Roach pioneered the concept of treating homebuyers as assets in 2016, utilizing tools like Percy.ai to match buyers with properties and score their intent. Today, they are expanding that focus by creating best practices around buyer agency agreements.
• Buyer Agreements and Brokerage Valuation: George Slusser emphasized the importance of tracking buyer agreements correctly to maximize a brokerage’s valuation. Much like listing agreements become an asset of the brokerage, so do buyer agreements – but only if you can track them correctly.
• Tracking Buyer Agreements: David Gumpper outlined best practices for integrating buyer agency agreements in Transaction Management, CRM, and accounting systems for better tracking and management.

The workshop highlighted the untapped potential of buyer agreements in boosting a brokerage’s bottom line. By effectively managing and tracking these agreements, brokerages can position themselves for greater success in the competitive real estate market.

The post Brokerages: Are You Leaving Money on the Table? appeared first on WAV Group Consulting.

The fastest growing firms seeking growth are deploying two primary avenues: merging with congruent brokerages and expanding into adjacent businesses. Each path offers unique opportunities and challenges; understanding them is crucial for strategic development.

Image generated by OpenAI’s DALL-E based on a custom prompt.

Merging with Congruent Brokerages

A congruent brokerage operates similarly in terms of culture, market focus, and operational practices. Merging with such entities can lead to immediate benefits, such as:

• Market Share Expansion: Combining forces can enhance market presence, providing a competitive edge.
• Resource Optimization: Shared resources, from technology to personnel, can lead to cost efficiencies and improved service offerings.
• Cultural Alignment: Similar operational philosophies facilitate smoother integrations, minimizing disruptions.

However, it’s essential to conduct a thorough due-diligence to ensure alignment in goals and values, as mismatches can lead to integration challenges.

Expanding into Adjacent Businesses

Diversifying into related sectors such as mortgage, title, insurance, wholesale to investors, and home repair services offers another growth trajectory, listed below:

• Revenue Diversification: Entering these sectors creates multiple income streams, reducing reliance on traditional brokerage commissions.
• Enhanced Client Services: Providing a suite of services under one roof can improve client satisfaction and loyalty.
• Market Differentiation: Offering comprehensive solutions sets a brokerage apart from competitors.

This approach requires careful planning, as each sector has its own regulatory and operational complexities. Building or acquiring expertise in these areas is crucial for success.

Strategic Considerations

Choosing between these paths outlined above depends on a brokerage’s current position, market conditions, and long-term objectives. Some may find that a hybrid approach (combining both strategies) offers the most robust growth potential.

At WAV Group, we guide brokerages through these decisions, leveraging our extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions to tailor strategies that align with each client’s unique goals. Our comprehensive approach ensures that growth initiatives are not only ambitious but also sustainable and aligned with the evolving real estate landscape.For more insights into successful brokerage growth strategies, consider exploring our resources on mergers and acquisitions.

The post Growing Your Brokerage Without Recruiting appeared first on WAV Group Consulting.

Before the settlement agreement, listing agents held a superior place with listings under contract. For many, a listing was considered a business asset. In fact, companies like eComission would even advance the agent’s commission on active listings. Now, buyer representatives hold the same position in the marketplace. Having buyers under contract is now equally strong and important. Buyers under contract are the new asset of the real estate industry. 

Some brokers have developed strategies to take advantage of their buyer-client portfolio in the past. In the screenshot below, any broker using Percy.ai can show a buyer graph demonstrating the number of active buyers who are searching for a property in the area of a subject property. 

Buyer-broker Client Registry: A Game-Changing Opportunity

The real estate landscape has undergone a seismic shift with the new requirement for buyer-broker agreements. Savvy brokers can leverage this change to gain a competitive edge and unlock a wealth of opportunities.

This is interesting, but brokers could do more. Imagine a listing presentation where an agent presents their buyers under contract that are looking for a home in their area, around the same price range, with the same numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms, etc. This would be pretty break-through. Rather than promise to market the property to find buyers, the broker could offer the buyers that they have under contract. If you want to sell the house, I already have the buyer(s). Going even further, a buyer under contract with verification of cash or loan pre-approval. 

Buyers Under Contract: The New Goldmine

With buyer representation now a necessity, securing buyer-broker agreements has become paramount. A robust portfolio of buyers under contract is a powerful asset, offering brokers unprecedented leverage in the marketplace. Imagine presenting a listing with a ready pool of pre-approved buyers actively seeking homes in that specific area and price range. This compelling proposition can significantly expedite transactions and enhance client satisfaction.

Unleashing the Potential of Buyer Data

Large brokerage firms can capitalize on their extensive network by pooling buyer data across their agents. This centralized database empowers listing agents to conduct targeted reverse prospecting, matching potential buyers with suitable properties efficiently. Imagine the impact of a listing presentation showcasing a multitude of eager and qualified buyers.

A Vision for the Future: The Buyer Registry

Taking this concept further, envision a comprehensive buyer registry—a centralized platform akin to the MLS, but exclusively for buyers under contract. This innovative tool would not only provide valuable market insights for sellers, but also address potential conflicts arising from buyers engaging multiple brokers. By fostering transparency and streamlining the buyer representation process, the buyer registry could revolutionize the industry.

Embrace the Change, Seize the Opportunity

The introduction of buyer-broker agreements presents a golden opportunity for brokers to adapt and thrive. By recognizing the value of buyers under contract and harnessing the power of buyer data, brokers can position themselves at the forefront of this evolving landscape. Embracing innovation and proactively leveraging these tools will undoubtedly lead to greater success in today’s competitive market.
