Bed Bath & Beyond announced it has signed an agreement to acquire Fathom Holdings, a national technology-driven real estate services platform that integrates residential brokerage, mortgage, title, insurance, and SaaS offerings.
This acquisition is expected to advance Bed Bath & Beyond’s Everything Home strategy by bringing together homeownership and transactions, omnichannel commerce, and home services into a single homeowner ecosystem.
Fathom’s platform is powered by intelliAgent, its proprietary cloud-based software platform. And the acquisition expands Bed Bath & Beyond’s Homeownership & Transactions pillar by adding capabilities across brokerage, mortgage, title, insurance, and homeowner financial services.
Bed Bath & Beyond said it is building Everything Home around three interconnected pillars: Homeownership & Transactions, Omnichannel Commerce, and Home Services. The company believes homeowners increasingly want a single trusted relationship throughout the lifecycle of the home, from buying and financing a home to furnishing, renovating, maintaining, and eventually selling it.
By combining Fathom’s real estate services platform with Bed Bath & Beyond’s commerce and home services businesses, the company said it aims to create a more unified platform centered around homeowners, their homes, and the neighborhoods in which they live. Bed Bath & Beyond also expects to use technology, data, and intelligence across the three pillars to better anticipate customer needs and deliver more relevant local experiences.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. Additional details about the transaction are expected to be provided in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and during an investor conference call.
KEY QUOTES:
“Homeownership is one of the most important financial and emotional commitments people make in their lives. Fathom brings important capabilities across brokerage, mortgage, title, insurance and technology that strengthen our Homeownership & Transactions pillar and we expect will accelerate our Everything Home strategy. Homeownership remains fragmented. People buy homes from one company, finance them through another, furnish them through a third and renovate them with someone else. We believe homeowners deserve something better. Everything Home is our strategy. Homeownership & Transactions, Omnichannel Commerce and Home Services are the three pillars that bring that strategy to life. This acquisition, along with others we have announced and may pursue in the future, presents an opportunity for us to integrate the capabilities that matter most while eliminating redundancy across processes, infrastructure and leadership. Over time, we believe these capabilities will operate seamlessly within neighborhoods across the country, enabling us to serve homeowners in more intelligent, connected and meaningful ways.”
Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bed Bath & Beyond
