Compass News |

I’m thrilled to announce that Compass has found our home on the Fortune 500 alongside some of the world’s most respected companies like Apple, American Express, and Nike! In less than 10 years, we have become the #1 real estate brokerage in America (RealTrends 500) and one of the youngest companies ever to make the Fortune 500. In the last year alone, almost a quarter-million clients put their trust in a Compass agent as they made one of the biggest decisions in their life – buying or selling their home. How does this benefit you? Global exposure and name recognition: The rapid growth that landed us on the Fortune 500 list and on top of the RealTrends rankings has, in the words of financial site Seeking Alpha, made Compass “a household brand name for both home buyers and sellers.” This translates directly to your home, whether buying or selling. Global reach and network: As one of the only residential brokerages in the Fortune 500, our unparalleled network of the nation’s top agents gives you the most valuable referral network in the industry. Expect quick access to a well-regarded, expert agent no matter where you're moving. Strength and stability: In today's historical housing market, you can be confident that you are supported by a brokerage with the transparency of a publicly-traded company, the scale of the #1 brokerage by sales volume, and the merit of the Fortune 500. |
