Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block] | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company changed its name from Realogy Holdings Corp. to Anywhere Real Estate Inc. effective June 9, 2022. Anywhere Real Estate Inc. ("Anywhere" or the "Company") is a holding company for its consolidated subsidiaries including Anywhere Intermediate Holdings LLC ("Anywhere Intermediate") and Anywhere Real Estate Group LLC ("Anywhere Group") and its consolidated subsidiaries. Anywhere, through its subsidiaries, is a global provider of residential real estate services. Neither Anywhere, the indirect parent of Anywhere Group, nor Anywhere Intermediate, the direct parent company of Anywhere Group, conducts any operations other than with respect to its respective direct or indirect ownership of Anywhere Group. As a result, the consolidated financial positions, results of operations, comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows of Anywhere, Anywhere Intermediate and Anywhere Group are the same. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of Anywhere and Anywhere Group. Anywhere's only asset is its investment in the common stock of Anywhere Intermediate, and Anywhere Intermediate's only asset is its investment in Anywhere Group. Anywhere's only obligations are its guarantees of certain borrowings and certain franchise obligations of Anywhere Group. All expenses incurred by Anywhere and Anywhere Intermediate are for the benefit of Anywhere Group and have been reflected in Anywhere Group’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Business Description The Company reports its operations in the following three business segments (the number of offices and agents are unaudited): •Anywhere Brands ("Franchise Group"), formerly referred to as Realogy Franchise Group—franchises a portfolio of well-known, industry-leading franchise brokerage brands, including Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate, Century 21®, Coldwell Banker®, Coldwell Banker Commercial®, Corcoran®, ERA® and Sotheby's International Realty®. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's real estate franchise systems and proprietary brands had approximately 337,400 independent sales agents worldwide, including approximately 195,000 independent sales agents operating in the U.S. (which included approximately 59,800 company owned brokerage independent sales agents). As of December 31, 2022, the Company's real estate franchise systems and proprietary brands had approximately 20,500 offices worldwide in 119 countries and territories, including approximately 5,700 brokerage offices in the U.S. (which included approximately 680 company owned brokerage offices). This segment also includes the Company's lead generation activities through Anywhere Leads Group ("Leads Group") and global relocation services operation through Cartus® Relocation Services ("Cartus"). •Anywhere Advisors ("Owned Brokerage Group"), formerly referred to as Realogy Brokerage Group—operates a full-service real estate brokerage business with approximately 680 owned and operated brokerage offices with approximately 59,800 independent sales agents principally under the Coldwell Banker®, Corcoran® and Sotheby’s International Realty® brand names in many of the largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. This segment also includes the Company's share of equity earnings or losses from its minority-owned real estate auction joint venture and former RealSure joint venture. •Anywhere Integrated Services ("Title Group"), formerly referred to as Realogy Title Group—provides full-service title, escrow and settlement services to consumers, real estate companies, corporations and financial institutions primarily in support of residential real estate transactions. This segment also includes the Company's share of equity earnings or losses from Guaranteed Rate Affinity, its minority-owned mortgage origination joint venture, and from its minority-owned title insurance underwriter joint venture. Sale of the Title Insurance Underwriter On March 29, 2022, the Company sold its title insurance underwriter, Title Resources Guaranty Company (the "Title Underwriter") (previously reported in the Title Group reportable segment), to an affiliate of Centerbridge for $210 million (prior to expenses and tax) and a 30% equity stake in the form of common units in a title insurance underwriter joint venture that owns the Title Underwriter (the "Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture"). Upon closing of the transaction, the Company received $208 million of cash and recorded a $90 million investment related to its 30% equity interest in the Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture. As a result of the transaction, the Company disposed of $166 million of net assets, including $152 million of cash held as statutory reserves by the Title Underwriter and $32 million of goodwill, and recognized a gain of $131 million, net of fees, recorded in the Other income, net line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As this transaction did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results, the Title Underwriter's operations have not been classified as discontinued operations. In April 2022, the Company sold a portion of its interest in the Title Insurance Underwriter Joint Venture to a third party, reducing the Company's equity stake from 30% to 26%. The sale resulted in a gain of $4 million recorded in the Other income, net line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 4, "Equity Method Investments", for additional information.
