Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information SEGMENT INFORMATION
The reportable segments presented below represent the Company’s segments for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of services provided by its segments.
The results of Cartus Relocation Services were previously presented as discontinued operations. However, the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria in ASC Topic 360 and ASC Topic 205 were no longer met during the fourth quarter of 2020. As a result, the assets and liabilities of Cartus Relocation Services, previously presented as held for sale, have been reclassified to held and used on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020 and the results of Cartus Relocation Services have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented. Cartus Relocation Services’ assets and liabilities were measured at fair value upon reclassification and the
reduction to the carrying value was reported in the Impairments line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company changed its reportable segments to include Cartus Relocation Services within the Realogy Franchise Group. As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, relocation operations have experienced lower relocation activity which has negatively impacted such operations' operating results. However, Cartus Relocation Services continues to provide value through the generation of leads to real estate agent and brokerage participants in the networks maintained by Realogy Leads Group, which drives downstream revenue for the Company's businesses. The segment changes are reflected for all periods presented.
Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenue and Operating EBITDA. Operating EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, income taxes, and other items that are not core to the operating activities of the Company such as restructuring charges, former parent legacy items, gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt, impairments, gains or losses on discontinued operations and gains or losses on the sale of investments or other assets. The Company’s presentation of Operating EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
