Fathom Holdings, the parent company of fast-growing brokerage Fathom Realty, announced Wednesday that it will be acquired by home goods retailer Bed Bath & Beyond.
A statement issued Wednesday morning, revealed that the deal is an all-stock transaction and will value Fathom Holdings at about $53.38 million. Each Fathom share will be worth 0.2236 shares of Bed Bath & Beyond.
The statement goes on to explain that acquiring Fathom is part of Bed Bath & Beyond’s “Everything Home” strategy. That strategy is “centered on three interconnected pillars: homeownership and transactions, omnichannel commerce and home services,” the statement explains.
“Fathom’s integrated platform and technology capabilities complement Bed Bath & Beyond’s Everything Home strategy and are expected to accelerate the combined company’s vision to create the nation’s first end-to-end homeownership platform,” the statement continues.
Among real estate professionals, Fathom is known as part of a cohort of fast-growing and tech-forward brokerages. According to the company’s most recent earnings report, published in March, revenue grew 25 percent to $420 million in 2025 thanks to a 15 percent rise in transactions. The company also operates mortgage and title businesses, which also saw rising revenue in 2025.
Fathom’s earnings report further states that the company had 14,135 as of Dec. 31. That was down 1.2 percent year over year.
In the case of Bed Bath & Beyond, many consumers may still associate the brand with a chain of big box retail stores that first opened in the late 1980s. However, the company that operated those stores went bankrupt in 2023 and liquidated its assets. Online retailer Overstock.com then acquired Bed Bath and Beyond’s intellectual property and rebranded using the latter company’s name. Last year, the company also began opening new retail locations.
The Fathom acquisition pushes the retailer’s business into a new arena, but comes at a time of significant consolidation in the real estate industry. Last year, for example, Rocket acquired Redfin. This year, Compass completed an acquisition of Anywhere. And just last month, eXp World Holdings bought franchisor NextHome.
As part of Bed Bath & Beyond’s acquisition, Fathom board member Adam Rothstein will step in as interim CEO of the real estate company. Daniel Weinmann, Fathom’s vice president of finance, has been appointed Chief Financial Officer.
In the statement, Rothstein framed the deal as a “transformational opportunity for Fathom and our shareholders.”
The statement further notes that by joining forces with Bed Bath & Beyond, Fathom will get access to “millions” of the retailer’s customers “at key moments in the homeownership journey, creating a seamless connection between homebuying, financing and furnishing.”
“By combining with Bed Bath & Beyond, we meaningfully expand our ability to deliver a fully integrated, technology-driven experience for agents and consumers, and it positions us for long-term growth,” Rothstein added. “Bed Bath & Beyond’s broad customer reach and strong brand recognition, paired with our scalable real estate technology platform, create a compelling opportunity to redefine the homeownership lifecycle and build lasting value for our shareholders.”
