Joel Dommel

As Senior Sales Manager for Compass Darien and New Canaan, Joel brings a rare blend of top-producing NYC real estate experience, strategic leadership, and people-centered management to one of the most competitive markets in the country. Having built his own career as a high-performing agent before transitioning into leadership, he understands firsthand the pressures, complexity, and decision-making agents face at every stage of growth.

Joel believes great leadership starts with clarity—clarity of vision, communication, and systems. His work focuses on helping real estate agents and teams build businesses that are not only productive, but scalable and sustainable. Through coaching, operational strategy, and structured business planning, he helps agents install the processes, rhythms, and frameworks that reduce friction, increase performance, and support long-term success.

Known for his calm, thoughtful approach, Joel shows up as a strategic partner, not a spectator. He listens deeply, asks the questions that surface blind spots, and helps agents translate goals into clear, executable plans. His leadership style blends empathy with rigor—supporting agents as they lead with intention, simplify their operations, and make confident decisions in a fast-moving market.

What sets Joel apart is his focus on multiplication over management. Rather than solving problems in isolation, he helps agents and teams develop the systems and leadership habits that work without constant oversight. The result is greater autonomy, stronger collaboration, and businesses that grow beyond the individual.

Joel is passionate about developing leaders at every level, creating an environment where ambition is encouraged, ideas are refined, and success is shared. Under his leadership, agents gain more than direction; they gain the clarity, structure, and confidence needed to elevate their business and adapt in any market cycle.

His mission is simple: to help agents become leaders of their own outcomes, equipped with the mindset, systems, and strategy to thrive today and into the future.
