Compass just announced a $1.6 billion acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate — creating what could become a 340,000-agent giant.

The headline sounds impressive… but when you dig deeper, the story looks very different. Compass assumed over $2.1 billion in debt, issued 163M new shares, and still faces $81.6 million in debt obligations from Q2 alone. So what does this mean for agents?

In this episode, I break down:

✅ The positives for agents inside Compass/Anywhere (tech, data scale, MLS disruption potential)

✅ The risks: dilution, debt, and integration challenges

✅ How institutional ownership shapes these companies vs. eXp Realty’s agent-first ownership model

✅ Why eXp’s cloud-based, debt-free, global model may be the smarter long-term play for ambitious agents
