| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all controlled subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of entities acquired from the date of each respective acquisition. Interests held by third parties in consolidated subsidiaries are presented as non-controlling interests, which represents the non-controlling stockholders’ interests in the underlying net assets of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared by management on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented. Certain prior period amounts for 2025 have been reclassified on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of operations to conform to the current period presentation. On the condensed consolidated balance sheet, Concierge receivables are now presented within Other current assets, as the balance is not material to the combined company. On the condensed consolidated statements of operations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reclassified $35 million and $69 million, respectively, of occupancy expenses from its brokerage and integrated services businesses out of Sales and marketing and into Operations and support. The purpose of these reclassifications was to consolidate occupancy and franchise license royalty expenses into a single line item following the Anywhere Merger. None of these reclassifications affected previously reported net loss, total revenue, or total operating expenses, and they have been applied to all prior periods presented. Separately, the Company renamed “Research and development” to “Technology and development” on the statements of operations. This is a presentational change only, with no reclassification of prior period amounts. The results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the SEC’s rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

| Consolidation | Consolidation The Company consolidates an entity if its ownership, direct or indirect, exceeds 50% of the outstanding voting shares of an entity and/or it has the ability to control the financial or operating policies through its voting rights, board representation or other similar rights. Interests held by third parties in consolidated subsidiaries are presented as non-controlling interests, which represents the non-controlling stockholders’ interests in the underlying net assets of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. For entities where the Company does not have a controlling interest (financial or operating), the investments in such entities are accounted for using the equity method or at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, as appropriate. The Company applies the equity method of accounting when it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of an investee. The Company measures all other investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income or in the case that an equity investment does not have readily determinable fair values, at cost minus impairment (if any) plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to (i) fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, (ii) incremental borrowing rate used for the Company’s operating leases, (iii) useful lives of long-lived assets, (iv) impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, and (v) income taxes and certain deferred tax assets. The Company determines its estimates and judgments based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences may be material.
|
| Business Combinations | Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Such adjustments may be material. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, consisting primarily of third-party investment banking, legal, consulting, and other advisory fees, are expensed as incurred.
|
| Leases | Leases The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception based on whether there is an identified asset and whether the Company controls the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company classifies leases as either finance or operating. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recognized at the lease commencement date and represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the remaining lease term. Present value of lease payments are discounted based on the more readily determinable of (i) the rate implicit in the lease or (ii) the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Because the rate implicit in the lease generally cannot be readily determined, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date for collateralized borrowings with a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and in a similar economic environment where the leased asset is located. The collateralized borrowings were based on the Company’s estimated credit rating corroborated with market credit metrics like debt level and interest coverage. The Company’s lease ROU assets are measured based on the corresponding operating lease liability adjusted for (i) payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, (ii) initial direct costs incurred, and (iii) lease incentives under the lease. Options to renew or terminate the lease are recognized as part of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain the options will be exercised. ROU assets are also assessed for impairments consistent with the Company’s long-lived asset policy. Furthermore, the Company recognizes impairment charges related to the exit and sublease of certain real estate operating leases. Finance lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the underlying asset or the lease term. The interest component of a finance lease is included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term. Operating lease expense for fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not allocate consideration between lease and non-lease components, such as maintenance costs, as the Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for any leases within its existing classes of assets. Variable lease payments for real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities, which are generally based on the Company’s pro rata share of the total property, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets or lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred.
|
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. Compensation expense is generally recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the service period based on the vesting requirements generally ranging from to five years. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. On a limited basis, the Company has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that contain service, performance and market-based vesting conditions. Such awards were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and the underlying expense will be recognized as the associated vesting conditions are met.

| New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements The Company systematically reviews and evaluates the relevance and implications of all Accounting Standards Updates. While recently issued standards not expressly listed below were scrutinized, they were deemed either inapplicable or anticipated to have minimal impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This new guidance is designed to improve the disclosures of specific account categories, including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, and costs incurred related to inventory and manufacturing activities. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. The new guidance eliminates project stages and requires capitalizing software costs to begin when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The transition method may be prospective, retrospective or modified prospective. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

| Equity Method Investments | The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments in ventures when it possesses significant influence over operational and financial decisions but lacks controlling interests. The Company records its proportionate share of net earnings or losses from these equity method investments under the Equity in income of unconsolidated entities line in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Investments not subject to the equity method are valued at fair market value with adjustments recognized in net income. If the fair value is not readily determinable, these investments are measured at cost minus impairment (if any), plus or minus changes reflecting observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment.
