Compass is Giving Homeowners the
Same Advantages as Real Estate Developers and Professional Homebuilders

The marketing strategies that Compass supports are not novel or new. In fact, they have been used by the largest and most successful group of sellers in the industry—professional homebuilders and real estate developers. They have a sophisticated playbook on how to sell homes, and just like some homeowners, have properties they want to advertise that aren’t ready to be shown. Here are the key things they do:

Test Aspirational Pricing

They test an aspirational price or validate a pricing strategy privately before listing on the MLS.

Harness the Power of Pre-Marketing

They pre-market while staging and preparing the home to create interest and anticipation before it’s ready to launch.

Learn from Engagement Insights From the Listing Page

They learn from the data and analytics they get from their websites, including property page views, visits, and engagement insights.

Protect and Control Their Data

They control which websites their photos, address, and data appear on and protect their data.

COMBATTING The Criticism Campaign

Portal sites hurt homeowners by placing negative insights that devalue your home. At Compass, we put homeowners first.

COMBATTING The Criticism Campaign
1. Eliminate Days on Market

Extend your marketing runway by controlling when the property is put on the MLS, helping minimize public days on market or price drop history. Excessive days on market and price-drop history can devalue your property in the eyes of buyers.

2. Avoid Missed Buyer Inquiries

Some third-party sites block buyers’ ability to reach out to the listing agent directly. These leads are sold to other agents who may be unfamiliar with your home and whose interests may not align with your selling goals.

3. Control your Pricing

Automated home valuations on third-party sites use outdated algorithms and incomplete data, often mispricing homes and shaping buyer expectations before you even list.

4. No Negative Insights Added to Your Listing

Third-party platforms can add their own assessments and data to a listing, which may not accurately reflect the true value or desirability of your property.
