Listing Agent
Lead and Referral
Program

At Compass, we recognize the value you
create by offering a 10% referral fee on
the leads generated by your listings.

Own the Lead on Your Listing.
Own Every Referral Opportunity.

Setting a new industry standard, the Listing Agent Lead and Referral Program ensures every Compass real estate professional maintains their contact information on their listings, receives buyer inquiries first, and is always compensated for their lead referrals.

Direct to You

Inquiries from your Compass.com listings are sent directly to you via text. If you choose to claim them, they sync instantly to your Compass CRM, allowing you to own the client relationship from the first touchpoint to the final closing.

Represent or Refer

As the listing expert, you understand your client’s needs best. Choose to represent the buyer or refer the inquiry through the Compass Leads Program.

Turn Inquiries into
Passive Income

Earn a 10% referral fee on every closed transaction from an inquiry you routed to the Compass Leads Program for up to 24 months.

Earn on Every Outcome

Whether you represent the buyer or refer the inquiry, you earn on every listing.

Your Buyer Leads
on Your Terms

This program gives you the choice to automatically redirect buyer inquiries to a vetted Compass real estate professional — enabling you to earn passive income from referrals.

Our Agent-Centric Model

For years, portals and MLSs have monetized listings without compensating listing agents for their efforts.
COMPASS IS WRITING A DIFFERENT STORY
Traditional
Portals
  • The listing agent's contact information is removed
  • Buyer inquiries are redirected to third parties without any compensation or credit to the listing agent
  • The listing agent has no choice in how their buyer inquiries are handled
Listing Agent Lead
and Referral Program
  • The listing agent's information is prominently displayed and buyers can reach out directly
  • The listing agent has first right to represent the lead or receive a referral fee for generating it
  • The listing agent chooses how their leads are handled

Your Earning Potential

Turn your listings leads into a powerful revenue stream to unlock additional income.
EARNING EXAMPLE

For a $1,000,000 sale at a 2.5% commission, your referral per deal is $2,500 (10%).

If leads from your listings result in 10 deals closed, that would be $25K in passive income.

*Findings are descriptive statistics and compare the average of Compass residential listings that went active on a MLS and were pre-marketed as a Compass Private Exclusive and/or Compass Coming Soon vs. the average of Compass residential listings that went active on a MLS but were not pre-marketed as a Compass Private Exclusive and/or Compass Coming Soon from January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024 as well as measure the percentage of Compass Coming Soon residential listings that sold during the period January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024. Compass Coming Soon listings that sold off the MLS are identified as having a close date in 2024, were pre-marketed as a Compass Coming Soon, and were on the MLS for less than one day. Source: Compass data. Findings from the internal analysis were based on a hedonic regression analysis that examined Compass residential closed sell-side transactions from January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024, nationally and for all residential property types (single family, co-op, condo, townhouse, and condop). For 2024, Compass pre-marketed listings are associated with an average 2.9% increase in the final close price versus Compass listings that went directly to the MLS. The estimated effect has a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1.9% and 3.9%. This finding may vary depending on market conditions and seasonality.

The results provided are based on current data and methodologies, and should not be interpreted as definitive predictions of future outcomes. Compass utilizes a Compass Private Exclusive listing and/or Compass Coming Soon listing at the direction of the seller. Compass makes no warranty, representation or guarantee as to the accuracy of these results or any actual outcome of using the Three Phase Marketing Program. Results may vary. Correlation does not necessarily equal causation.
