Bed Bath & Beyond acquires real estate services platform
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. continues its reinvention as an “Everything Home Company.”
The company, whose portfolio includes Bed Bath & Beyond, The Container Store, Kirkland’s, Overstock and BuyBuy Baby, has signed an agreement to acquire Fathom Holdings Inc., a national, tech-based real estate services platform integrating residential brokerage, mortgage, title and insurance offerings based on its proprietary intelliAgent cloud-based software system.
Fathom complements the Bed Bath & Beyond “Everything Home” strategy, which seeks to create the nation’s first end-to-end homeownership platform centered on three interconnected pillars: Homeownership & Transactions, Omnichannel Commerce and Home Services.

According to Bed Bath & Beyond, the Fathom acquisition expands its Homeownership & Transactions pillar by adding capabilities across brokerage, mortgage, title, insurance and homeowner financial services.
“Homeownership is one of the most important financial and emotional commitments people make in their lives,” said Marcus Lemonis, executive chairman and CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond. “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.
The acquisition comes as Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store recently opened their first co-branded location in Fort Worth, Texas. The new store concept combines The Container Store’s organizing solutions, design services and expertise with Bed Bath & Beyond’s home essentials, resulting in a “more complete home destination” for consumers.
Everything Home – a primer
Bed Bath & Beyond is building Everything Home — a homeowner ecosystem centered on three interconnected pillars: Homeownership & Transactions, Omnichannel Commerce and Home Services:
- Homeownership & Transactions encompasses everything required to buy, finance, protect, leverage and sell a home, including brokerage, mortgage, title, insurance, home equity products, renovation lending and other financial services.
- Omnichannel Commerce encompasses everything bought for the home through stores, digital channels and marketplaces.
- Home Services encompasses everything done to the home, from installation and renovation to maintenance and ongoing support.
Through its portfolio of brands, digital platforms and service offerings, Bed Bath & Beyond says it aims to support customers throughout every stage of homeownership while building deeper connections within the neighborhoods it serves.
The Fathom transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
