 title services, and franchising of our brands. The businesses each benefit from our deep understanding of the industry, strong relationships with real estate brokers, sales agents and other real estate professionals and expertise across the transactional process. Unlike other industry participants who offer only one or two services, we can offer homeowners, our franchisees and our corporate and real estate benefit program clients ready access to numerous associated services that facilitate and simplify the home purchase and sale process. These services provide further revenue opportunities for our owned businesses and those of our franchisees. All of our businesses and our minority-owned joint ventures can derive revenue from the same real estate transaction.

Our Brands 

Our brands are among the most well-known and established real estate brokerage brands in the real estate industry.

Together with our strategic joint ventures, our brands allow us to leverage our strengths, while participating in multiple markets within the real estate industry. Specifically, while all of our brands compete to varying extents in the high-end markets, our Sotheby’s International Realty® and Corcoran® brands are particularly well-positioned to benefit from growth in high-end markets. Likewise, while all of our brands utilize offerings through Title Group, our company owned Coldwell Banker® brand shares synergies with our title business as well as our mortgage origination and title insurance underwriter joint ventures that allow us to progress towards our goal to integrate and streamline the residential real estate transaction. In addition, our global franchise brands including Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate, CENTURY 21® and ERA®, as well as franchised Sotheby’s International Realty®, Corcoran® and Coldwell Banker® brokerages, provide us with attractive scale and afford us the ability to offer versatility of choice to franchisees and consumers.

Our real estate brands are listed in the following chart, which includes information as of December 31, 2024, for both our franchised and company owned offices:
