An acquisition to reduce overall costs would follow thematically with the aggressive goals to cut costs that Realogy has set for the year. The company is aiming for a full-year cost savings of $70 million, according to the earnings call, while also reducing commission costs through a more aspirational system it's been testing nationwide. The company has also explored reducing its office size footprint and other strategies. "I do see opportunities to drive additional efficiencies this year and also for future years to come," Realogy Chief Financial Officer Charlotte Simonelli said during the call.
