Beautiful photography is one of the most powerful tools for selling your home. Compass uses bestin-class photographers to show your home in its best light, make a positive first impression, and attract more buyers.
A property receives the most traffic within the first few weeks of hitting the market. It is important to get the price right in order to gain the attention of interested buyers and maximize your home's position in the market.
Using competitive analysis, market research, and Compass’ suite of AI-powered tools, we recommend a price for your property to generate the most activity and offers early on before buyers move on to newer listings.
By definition, the promotion of off-market listings is restricted to distribution within the listing’s brokerage.* Compass offers a unique advantage to our agents through Compass Private Exclusives. This special feature grants them access to off-market listings and enables them to share them with a network of 7,900+ California agents. This broadens the accessibility of luxury Private Exclusives to a larger pool of clients compared to other brokerages that are limited in size and regional breadth.
Compass dominates the luxury market in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties, outpacing the competition by a significant margin in the sale of homes priced above $5M.**
By leveraging Compass’ digital advertising tools and partnerships across social media and advertising throughout your listing process, we can generate demand to sell your home faster, and we meet potential buyers where they are, online.
Compass helps generate buyer interest by using proprietary data to serve ads to Facebook and Instagram users.
Compass tracks and measures the results of every campaign which allows for continued optimization.
Whether it be in-person or a dynamic virtual tour, open houses are one of the most important ways buyers connect with your home.
