rokerage business is a fast‑moving arena, constantly reshaped by mergers, acquisitions and milestone deals. Below is a snapshot of the most recent shifts across the U.S. real‑estate landscape.

    **Realty of America expands with Oklahoma’s Chamberlain Realty**

    Chamberlain Realty, a 300‑agent firm that has closed more than $3 billion in sales since 2017, has joined Realty of America (ROA). Broker‑owner Grant Wortman, who runs three offices in the Oklahoma City metro, will now steer ROA’s entry into the state. Wortman said the partnership “connects us with top producers nationwide, enabling real‑time problem‑solving rather than isolated operations.” ROA’s co‑founder Mark Dimas praised Wortman’s entrepreneurial spirit, noting that the firm’s success aligns with ROA’s values of discipline and work ethic. Dimas added that the national framework will let leaders like Wortman maintain their unique business models while accessing broader resources.

    **The Shorb Team affiliates with Corcoran McEnearney**

    The Shorb Team—Ellie Shorb, her son Jack Shorb, and client‑experience director Justin Kelley—has aligned with Corcoran McEnearney. Together they bring over 30 years of experience and nearly $500 million in career sales. Jack credits his mother’s 20‑year industry background for shaping the team’s boutique, client‑centric approach. With Corcoran’s marketing, technology and transaction tools, the trio can focus on delivering exceptional results and an elevated client experience.

    **ERA’s growth in Colorado and Texas**

    *Colorado:* ERA Real Estate has incorporated Regents Real Estate Group, rebranding it as Regents Real Estate Group ERA Powered. Based in Cortez, the brokerage serves southwestern Colorado. Owner Paul Adams, who has almost a decade of local experience, will continue to lead the firm. Adams highlighted ERA’s technology and platforms as catalysts for efficiency and client time. ERA President Alex Vidal noted that the network will bolster recruiting, training and marketing, enabling the team to offer personalized service to a broader clientele.

    *Texas:* Sprout Realty ERA Powered, headquartered in Austin, has acquired 24Fifteen Realty, a two‑office firm with nearly 100 agents. The combined entity will operate as 24Fifteen ERA Powered. Co‑founder and former CEO Kenny Conoley will remain as supervisor and branch manager, bringing nearly 20 years of experience and a focus on integrity, mentorship and excellence. Conoley said the partnership offers agents access to ERA’s extensive business‑building tools, enhancing client experience and business growth. Sprout now plans to open new offices in Plano, Frisco and Fort Worth over the next three years, expanding its presence in the Dallas‑Fort Worth market.

    **Other notable brokerage moves**

    *Keller Williams:* The brand is launching a master franchise in Bulgaria, following its recent entry into Uzbekistan. With 20 European master franchises, the Bulgarian location will open its first market center in early 2026. Regional Operating Principal Pascal Duffy will lead the venture, bringing global insight and local market expertise to boost agent success and entrepreneurial opportunities.

    *Douglas Elliman:* Heather Domi, who has over $2 billion in career sales and nearly 25 years of experience, has returned to Douglas Elliman in New York City. After a six‑year stint at the firm and seven years at Compass, Domi will head the Heather Domi Team in Manhattan. She described Douglas Elliman as the gold standard of luxury brokerage and emphasized that her return is driven by purpose.

    *The Agency:* The firm has opened a second Oklahoma office in Tulsa, led by managing partners Wyatt Poindexter and Wayne Kirby. Tulsa’s dynamic market presents a compelling next step for the Agency’s Oklahoma expansion. Additionally, the Scottsdale, Arizona office will be managed by Frank DiMaggio, a producer with over $500 million in career sales. DiMaggio’s proven track record positions him to elevate The Agency Scottsdale to new heights.

    These developments illustrate the ongoing consolidation and strategic partnerships shaping the U.S. brokerage sector, as firms seek to combine local expertise with national resources to better serve clients and grow their businesses.
