After nearly seven years with Compass, Rachel Glazer is returning to the firm where she once ruled as its top broker in Downtown Manhattan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glazer is joining Brown Harris Stevens, where she launched her real estate career in 2008, the firm announced on Tuesday. Along with her, Glazer is bringing three members of the team she founded while at Compass.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Glazer\u2019s move comes roughly five months after Compass closed its landmark deal to acquire Anywhere Real Estate<\/a>, making the combined entity the largest brokerage in the country with more than 300,000 agents and franchisees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among the reasons for her departure, Glazer said in a statement that she\u2019s heading back to BHS because she \u201cmissed the boutique culture and collaborative environment that helped shape my career.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

BHS CEO Bess Freedman has repeatedly touted the firm\u2019s independent status<\/a> as a draw for agents looking to differentiate themselves from Compass\u2019s massive empire. At The Real Deal\u2019s New York Forum earlier this month, Freedman said that increased industry consolidation has created a lot of \u201csameness,\u201d which has driven several agents to her firm.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes when it gets too big \u2014 and that works for some people \u2014 but agents can get lost in the sauce,\u201d Freedman said on stage. \u201cYou want to be able to talk to your manager or see what\u2019s happening and talk to your colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Freedman referred to Glazer\u2019s return as \u201can exciting milestone\u201d for the firm, which has in recent months nabbed a few<\/a> notable New York City players. Earlier this year, Andres Perea-Garzon left Corcoran\u2019s top-producing Carrie Chiang Team to join the firm.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Compass said the firm \u201cwish[es] Rachel well.\u201d
Glazer joined Compass<\/a> in 2019 after more than a decade with BHS, where she was among the brokerage\u2019s top luxury agents. Last year, she closed more than $119 million in sales, according to a press release.<\/p>\n

Before leaving Compass, Glazer\u2019s listings included a $5.4 million condo at 49 Chambers Street and a two-bedroom unit at 108 Leonard Street, both in Tribeca. Last year, she sold a West Village townhouse at 85 Charles Street for $11.5 million<\/a> and another at 545 3rd Street in Park Slope for $6.3 million.<\/p>\n
