We came to Compass because we believed in Robert Reffkin’s vision for the future of real estate and his willingness to lead differently.
Over the past two years, there has been no shortage of criticism as Compass has challenged the status quo. But what we’ve appreciated most is that through it all, we’ve stayed focused on a simple idea: real estate should evolve around serving our clients, not preserving the way the industry has always operated.
That means giving sellers more choice. Encouraging innovation and competition. And trusting homeowners and their agents to decide how, when, and where a home should be marketed.
It’s one of the reasons we chose Compass, and why today feels especially meaningful.
After many months of advocating for sellers to have more options in how they bring their homes to market, Rise Group | COMPASS is incredibly proud to launch the first Compass Private Exclusive listing in Washington State.
So, what is a Private Exclusive?
It’s actually pretty simple. Instead of immediately putting a home on the MLS and every major real estate website, a seller can choose to privately market their home within Compass first.
It gives sellers another option for how they launch their home. They can maintain more privacy, test a price, build interest, and get feedback before deciding whether to take the home to the broader public market.
For us, this isn’t just about being first.
It’s about giving our clients more options, more flexibility, and more control over one of the biggest financial decisions they’ll make.
We’re proud to be part of a company willing to challenge convention, push the industry forward, and keep asking the question that matters most:
What’s best for the client?
