Willkie advised Title Resources Group (TRG), one of the nation's leading title insurance underwriters, in its preferred equity investment in the Independence Title and TitleOne businesses of Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: HOUS), a global leader in residential real estate services.

On April 1, 2025, RE Closing Buyer Corp, the indirect parent of TRG, purchased newly issued preferred equity representing 10% of the equity of each of Double Barrel Title LLC, which holds the Independence Title business of Anywhere, and Over Under Title LLC, which holds the TitleOne business of Anywhere.

Willkie previously represented Centerbridge Partners in its acquisition of a controlling stake in Title Resources Guaranty Company, as part of a strategic agreement to form TRG as a joint venture between Centerbridge and Anywhere (f/k/a Realogy), and in the launch of the joint venture and subsequent investments in TRG.

The Willkie team was led by partners Rosalind Fahey Kruse, Jenny Liu and Stephanie Duchene, and associates Christian Bonser and Ekua Mensah.
