On Thursday, February 26, 2026, Rocket Companies and Compass unveiled a strategic three-year collaboration that will integrate Compass property listings into Redfin, the popular home search website that Rocket purchased in 2025.
The partnership terms specify that Compass’s pre-market “coming soon” properties and “private exclusive” inventory will become accessible through both Redfin.com and the Redfin mobile app. According to company statements, this integration could expand Redfin’s available listings by over 500,000 properties.
With Redfin attracting approximately 2 billion annual visits, this arrangement provides substantial visibility for Compass listings. Robert Reffkin, CEO of Compass, highlighted that sellers utilizing the platform will gain exposure to 60 million prospective buyers.
The collaboration extends beyond listings to include financial benefits for homebuyers. Through Rocket Mortgage, buyers working with Compass representatives can select either a one-point mortgage rate discount during their loan’s first year or receive a lender credit reaching $6,000.
Additionally, Rocket plans to integrate its mortgage products directly within Compass’s agent relationship management system. Rocket’s CEO Varun Krishna acknowledged the company will compensate Compass for this integration.
Throughout the agreement’s duration, Compass agents will receive access to over 1 million prospective buyer leads sourced from Redfin’s platform. Simultaneously, Redfin’s agent network gains from an expanded property inventory to present to their clients.
Stock Reaction
Both companies experienced positive stock movement following Thursday’s after-market announcement. Rocket shares climbed 8.3% during after-hours trading, while Compass stock increased 3.5%.
The partnership disclosure accompanied quarterly financial results from both organizations. Rocket posted adjusted diluted earnings of $0.11 per share with $2.7 billion in Q4 revenue, surpassing analyst projections of $0.09 per share on $2.2 billion in revenue.
Compass recorded a $0.07 per share loss with $1.7 billion in revenue. Wall Street analysts had forecast a $0.06 per share loss on identical revenue figures.
Recent Acquisitions Behind the Deal
Rocket has pursued an aggressive expansion strategy beyond its core mortgage origination business. During 2025, the company completed acquisitions of both Redfin and major mortgage servicer Mr. Cooper.
The Mr. Cooper acquisition elevated Rocket to become the nation’s second-largest mortgage originator by volume during the initial nine months of 2025, based on Inside Mortgage Finance statistics.
Compass has similarly expanded its footprint. In early 2026, the brokerage finalized a $1.6 billion purchase of Anywhere, the franchisor operating Coldwell Banker, Corcoran, and Century 21 brands.
This transaction merged the nation’s top two brokerages measured by transaction volume, according to RealTrends’ 2025 industry rankings. Compass now manages an international network encompassing Christie’s International Real Estate, Sotheby’s International Realty, and ERA.
Varun Krishna, Rocket’s CEO, explained the company aims to create a unified platform integrating property search, agent services, and mortgage financing to streamline transactions for both buyers and sellers.
This partnership represents the first convergence of Compass’s listing network, Rocket’s lending capabilities, and Redfin’s substantial search traffic into a single ecosystem.
