May was a very busy and exciting month, to put it mildly. On May 12, we hosted our first Investor Day in nearly five years. It’s safe to say that our last Investor Day took place in a radically different world, considering the paradigm shifts we’ve experienced throughout our culture, economy, and industry. So of course, May 12, 2022, was always going to be a very big day… even without the big news.
Anywhere Real Estate Inc. CEO Ryan Schneider, CFO Charlotte Simonelli, and COO Melissa McSherry got a chance to tell our story, share our 2026 financial targets, and showcase all the ways we are transforming our business to deliver the future of real estate.
As the leaders presented the company’s go-forward strategy to investors and other stakeholders, they revealed some exciting news about where the company is headed.
Welcome to Anywhere℠
As of June 9, Realogy is now Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (or Anywhere for short). As Ryan Schneider memorably put it, “The Anywhere name and identity serve as both our aspiration and commitment to changing the transaction experience for consumers. It’s truly a new day for real estate.”
The rebrand is more than a name change. It also aligns the enterprise positioning, moving into the future with a mission to “Empower everyone’s next move.” This speaks to all the company’s stakeholders, including employees, entrepreneurs, and consumers. It’s a pledge to “provide the products, tools, and resources to foster a culture where anyone can win.”
