PRIVATE EXCLUSIVE

Maximize Demand For Your Most Valuable Asset

Just like many companies test products with a smaller audience before launch, listing your home as a Compass Private Exclusive allows you to test price, gain critical insights, generate early demand, and extend your marketing runway – all before going public.

What is a Compass Private Exclusive?

Compass Private Exclusives are properties that are accessible to 34,000 Compass agents and their serious buyers. This means you can market your home without the risks of accumulating days on market or price drop history.

When you work with a Compass agent, listing as a Private Exclusive is the first stage of our 3-Phased Marketing Strategy designed to maximize demand and fine-tune your positioning for the best possible sale outcome.

Success Story


"My clients and I tested an aggressive price as a Private Exclusive on Compass. Another agent brought buyers to see the home and they submitted a full price, all cash offer within days. My clients said this was the easiest, no hassle sale they’ve experienced!"

Preserve Your Privacy
