RealTrends Verified brokerage Rogers Healy and Associates merges with Compass

“Since founding RHA almost 20 years ago, the mission has always been to bring a business-minded approach to real estate,” Healy wrote. “Thanks to our incredible team, we became one of the nation’s largest independent brokerages with a strong reputation for service excellence across the Dallas-Fort Worth region.”

“I’m excited to welcome the incredible agents of RHA who have built a culture of caring deeply about their clients,” said Compass President Neda Navab. “By providing these talented agents with our specialized tools and resources, we will continue to elevate the buying and selling experience across the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area.”

It’s about family

Rogers Healy and Associates built its reputation by positioning agents as entrepreneurs, pairing culture with production and growing into a powerhouse brand across DFW. The brokerage’s merger with Compass brings its agents onto a national platform known for technology investment, scale and aggressive growth.

In an interview with HousingWire, Healy said the decision to merge ultimately came down to people, both family and agents.

“Family comes first. Always has, always will,” Healy said in an interview. “Professionally, real estate has really blessed me, but my heart is in the venture capital space, and you can’t serve two masters. I decided to pursue an exit, and we were able to get there.”

Healy added that the outcome gives his agents what he believes is the best possible next step, while allowing him to focus fully on venture capital investing.

“It takes care of all the people that have trusted me as their leader for a long time,” he said. “But it also affords my wife and myself the chance to really prove what I’m crazy enough to want to prove in the venture space.”

Why Compass?

Asked why Compass stood out among potential suitors, Healy pointed to both the company’s scale and its leadership.

“It made the most sense,” he said. “I’ve respected their brand. It’s the biggest player for a reason, and I wanted to make sure the agents had a platform that would help them springboard off what we’ve offered them for 20 years.”

Healy also cited his relationship with Compass co-founder and CEO Robert Reffkin, describing him as “a good man” and “a family man.”

“I’m an entrepreneur that happened to find success in real estate,” Healy said. “Compass is a platform for real estate entrepreneurs. It’s a natural fit.”

While Healy is stepping away from leadership roles, he emphasized that he is not leaving the industry entirely — a point he underscored with humor in his LinkedIn post. “I didn’t take that real estate exam 22 times for nothing,” he wrote.

Looking ahead, Healy plans to devote his time to family and to Morrison Seger Venture Capital Partners, where he has already been active behind the scenes for several years.

“My secret sauce in real estate was giving people confidence and helping them grow,” he said. “Venture is different. If I’m on the cap table, I’m on it. It’s refreshing and liberating, and now I can really go all in.”

As for RHA, Healy said he’s confident the brokerage is leaving things “better than we found them,” and that Compass is the right home for what comes next.

“I am certain this next chapter will best position agents for even greater success,” he wrote on LinkedIn. “Pretty awesome, right?!”

According to a release, Compass continues to strengthen its footprint in North Texas, recently expanding its Fort Worth office to accommodate several new high-performing teams and individual agents. 

The Dallas-Fort Worth market has demonstrated exceptional momentum in the ultra-luxury segment, according to Compass’ 2025 Ultra-Luxury Report, which highlights significant growth in home sales priced above $10 million.
