OVERVIEW San Jose is the third-largest city in the state of California and the largest city in the Bay Area by both population and area. It is a major center for technology and innovation and is often referred to as the capital of Silicon Valley, housing the headquarters of many tech companies and being a hub for startups and research institutions. San Jose has a diverse population that includes a significant number of residents with many ethnic backgrounds. The city is known for its cultural diversity and has a large immigrant population. Silicon Valley, of which San Jose is a part, is renowned for being a global center for technology and innovation. The city has played a crucial role in the development of the technology industry and continues to attract businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals from around the world. San Jose is home to several institutions of higher education, including San Jose State University (SJSU), a major public university with a focus on technology and business education. The city's economy is heavily influenced by the technology sector, but it also includes industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. The affluence of Silicon Valley has contributed to both economic growth and challenges related to housing affordability and income inequality. San Jose offers a range of cultural attractions, including museums, theaters, and art galleries. The city is home to the Tech Museum of Innovation, the San Jose Museum of Art, and various theaters and performing arts venues. The climate in San Jose is generally mild, with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. It's part of the Mediterranean climate characteristic of much of California. The city has an extensive transportation network, including highways, public buses, and light rail. The Mineta San Jose International Airport serves as a major gateway to the region. San Jose boasts numerous parks and green spaces. Alum Rock Park, for example, is one of the oldest municipal parks in California and provides opportunities for hiking and outdoor activities. San Jose has experienced significant urban development, with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The city has been actively involved in urban planning to address issues such as transportation, housing, and sustainable development.

Sandy recently helped us sell our home. She was very knowledgeable and made sure we were aware we understood the process and keep informed of progress during the sale. She helped us get ready to sell our home though her contact network. All the professionals she recommended were excellent. She was always available to answer questions and address our concerns. I highly recommend her to anyone selling a home in the area.

Sandy has the perfect combination of top real estate business skills and a heart of service for her clients. Sandy listens to her clients and then confirms their core desires and goals. She then gets to work on the best plan to meet those goals and desires.

Maximize your home’s value with the Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy

Showcase your home to our nationwide network of top agents and their serious clients.

Validate Pricing

Begin to generate buyer interest without risking public days on market or price drops that impact your home's value.

Unlike traditional brokerages that immediately launch your listing to the public — exposing it to negative metrics like days on market and price drop history — Compass gives you a strategic head start. We showcase your home to a private audience first, allowing us to gather honest feedback on pricing with time to make adjustments before going public.

Generate Early Demand Publicly launch your property as a Compass Coming Soon exclusively on Compass.com.

This allows you to build buyer anticipation and interest, while staying protected from days on market and price drop history.

Sell Better Go live on all public websites with the right price and maximum demand gained by pre-marketing.

You may secure a buyer willing to pay a premium for certainty and a less stressful transaction.

Receive key engagement insights on how agents and their buyers are interacting with your listing – data that is lost once it goes live on other public websites.

Ensure all inquiries come directly to me rather than other agents who may prioritize their own listings and are unfamiliar with your home. Plus, listing as a Coming Soon on our website can help boost your ranking on Google.

During this phase, you have greater control over your data, as photos of your home and personal information do not stay on the Internet.

Backed by a validated pricing strategy and early buyer demand, your home is positioned for an efficient, lucrative sale — delivering the best possible outcome when it goes live on all public websites.

A letter from Compass CEO Robert Reffkin Thank you for considering Compass to guide you through your home sale.

At Compass, we’ve built the #1 real estate brokerage by sales volume in the United States and within 10-years of launching our first sale on Compass.com, our agents have achieved over $1 trillion in sales volume.

We’ve accomplished this by helping homeowners like you protect and maximize the value of your most important asset – your home.

Compass has developed a 3-Phased Marketing Strategy, drawing on best practices from real estate developers, professional home builders, and luxury marketers to create demand, build momentum, and ensure your home is best-positioned for success.

This phased marketing strategy can be far more effective than a single public launch. In the same way that Hollywood launches multiple trailers to build anticipation for a movie premiere, the Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy allows your agent to launch your listing multiple times, building similar excitement and demand.

Your Compass agent will guide you through every step of the strategy to help you choose what works best for your home and help ensure it receives the attention, interest, and the offers it deserves.

Thank you,

Robert Reffkin Founder & CEO

The Power of Photography 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.

Pricing Your Property to Maximize Buyer Activity

Timing of Buyer Activity 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.

Attracting Buyers Using Competitive Pricing 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.

Informational purposes only. Compass does not guaranteer warrant similar results.

Compass Off-Markets Lead the Way Exclusive Access to California’s Hidden High-End Real Estate 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.

San Mateo & Santa Clara Counties: The Luxury Market Share Standard 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.**

*Per NAR Clear Cooperation Policy, any property shared outside the brokerage is considered “public facing” and must go on the Multiple Listing Network® (MLS) within 1 business day. **2022 transaction-side, dollar-volume residential property sales reported to Bay Area MLS Association by\ 12/15/22, per Broker Metrics.
