Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Through acquisitions, the Company expanded its network of its real estate sales professionals and provided further diversification to its real estate brokerage services.
Acquisitions are accounted for as a business combination, and the results are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. The aggregate consideration generally includes: (i) cash paid at closing and (ii) the fair value of contingent and deferred consideration using a probability-weighted, discounted cash flow estimate on achieving certain financial metrics or service and time requirements. Contingent and deferred consideration are included in accounts payable and other liabilities and other liabilities captions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisitions primarily arises from the acquired assembled workforce and commercial sales platform. The Company expects all of the goodwill to be tax deductible, with the
tax-deductible
amount of goodwill related to the contingent and deferred consideration to be determined once the cash payments are made to settle any contingent and deferred consideration. The goodwill resulting from acquisitions is allocated to the Company’s one reporting unit.

The Company evaluates goodwill and intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. In addition to the annual impairment evaluation, the Company evaluates at least quarterly whether events or circumstances have occurred in the period subsequent to the annual impairment testing which indicate that it is more likely than not an impairment loss has occurred. As of March 31, 2020, the Company considered the
COVID-19
pandemic as a triggering event and evaluated its goodwill and intangible
 
assets for impairment testing. The Company considered the impact from the
COVID-19
induced economic slowdown and current projected recovery timeframes and their impact on goodwill and intangible assets. The Company concluded that as of March 31, 2020, there was no impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets.
