In 2005, Cendant split off all but its car rental interests into separate companies. Realogy was formed to group its real estate activities; shares in the new company were distributed to existing Cendant shareholders.[3] In late 2006, it was bought for $6.65 billion, plus debt and other liabilities, by Apollo Global Management, a private equity group.[4]
The company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2012; 40 million shares were sold at $27 each, raising US$1.08 billion.[5]
In May 2022, Realogy announced that the company would be changing its name from Realogy Holdings Corp. to Anywhere Real Estate Inc.[7] This went into effect on 9 June 2022.[8]
