Ryan Schneider, former CEO of Anywhere Real Estate, has left the company following its acquisition by Compass, a representative from Anywhere confirmed. 

“In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, Ryan exited the company upon closing last month,” said Dan Ivers, senior director, business communications at Anywhere. 

Schneider departed as part of Compass and Anywhere’s all-stock merger, which closed on Jan. 9, forming Compass International Holdings. The transaction followed stockholder approval on Jan. 7 when shareholders of both companies voted in favor of the merger at special meetings. 

Compass International Holdings is led by chairman and CEO Robert Reffkin, who said in a Jan. 9 open letter that the combination marks the beginning of an “exciting new chapter” for the industry. Reffkin described the merged company as one built by and for real estate professionals, with a focus on supporting agents and affiliate broker-owners through technology, tools and services designed to help them grow their businesses. 

Under the terms of the merger, each brand within the combined organization will continue to operate independently while leveraging a shared technology platform known as the Agent Operating System.
