MADISON, N.J., April 25, 2023 – Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: HOUS), a global leader in residential real estate services (formerly known as Realogy Holdings Corp.), today announced its inclusion on Forbes’ Best Employers for Diversity 2023 list. Anywhere has appeared four times on the list, which is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

“Anywhere is deeply committed to serving and uplifting all communities of people, and I am proud that we continue to be recognized as a Best Employer for Diversity by Forbes,” said Tanya Reu-Narvaez, Anywhere Chief People Officer. “This recognition honors our incredible employees, who have thoughtfully cultivated a people-first culture of inclusion and authenticity, empowering everyone to learn, grow, and innovate to build a better industry and help propel our future towards progress for all.”

Fostering an Employee Culture of Inclusion

Anywhere has long prided itself as a leader in employee diversity, with a focus on attracting, hiring, developing, and promoting diverse talent and creating an internal culture that is inclusive, ethical, collaborative, and rewarding. As a remote-first company, Anywhere has the ability to attract and retain a broad scope of top talent with a vast array of experiences, perspectives, and expertise. Anywhere embraces diverse leadership representation, with its executive management committee made up of 50% women leaders, as well as unique development opportunities for future leaders like Real Career Connections, a mentorship program designed to develop employees of color based on their career aspirations.

Additionally, employees have opportunities to participate in events focused on understanding and advocacy, including a “Week of Understanding” in 2023 highlighting the power of human connection and the importance of creating a workplace where everyone feels like they belong. Anywhere also offers eight Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), which promote an inclusive culture with a focus on career development, education, and networking. In 2022, Anywhere ERGs held more than 160 events with nearly 8,200 attendees across the company.

“Anywhere has the courage to allow us to explore topics that are socially relevant and to publicly take a stand for what is so important in the LGBTQ+ Community. We get to educate through awareness, give a voice for those who haven’t yet found theirs, and provide a safe space for everyone to express themselves, while celebrating the difference diversity, equity and inclusion makes. Our jobs are more than just what we do, it’s now more about who we are,” said Tommie Wehrle, Learning Specialist for Coldwell Banker Affiliates and REALPRIDE ERG Leadership Advisor.

Empowering Everyone to Own Their Future

Anywhere is also committed to leading change within the real estate industry with hopes of building a fair future for all. Through a robust and ongoing diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy, Anywhere harnesses the power of real estate to help entrepreneurs build their legacies and support home buyers and sellers to build wealth so all communities can develop and thrive. As an industry leader, Anywhere proudly offers various programs and resources that help champion diversity and move the industry to what’s next including:
