The Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy Is Still Here — And More Valuable Than Ever

Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. You deserve to be in control, to choose how and when your home is marketed, based on your needs and your timeline.

We’ve designed this strategy in three phases.

A build-up of demand and excitement that positions your home for a successful launch on the MLS and 3rd party portal sites. You can choose to utilize the third phase at any time you’d like.

A Strategy That Works for You

Not all home-selling methods keep your best interests in mind. The traditional approach can lead to accumulating days on market, public price reductions, and missed buyer opportunities from the start.

The Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy is a smarter, more flexible alternative tailored around your needs – so that we can help you sell for the best possible price and terms.

Choice vs. Control

Traditional listing methods expose your home to negative metrics that can harm its sale price. With Compass, you get to choose how your home is marketed – protecting its full value from day one.

Days on Market

Accumulating days on market can diminish a home’s perceived value. The longer a home sits on the market, the more it can be seen as undesirable or overpriced, potentially reducing buyer interest and lowering the final sale price.

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 the property.

Visible Price Drop History

When a home’s price drops publicly, it can signal to buyers that something is wrong with the property, making them less willing to pay your list price.

Missed Buyer Inquiries

Some public websites 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.

We Put the Homeowner First

By launching your property not once but three times, you can price it accurately, amplify its exposure, and attract strong offers.

1. Validate Pricing

LAUNCH AS COMPASS PRIVATE EXCLUSIVE

Start the home-selling process with time on your side. Unlike traditional brokerages that immediately launch your listing to the public — exposing it to negative metrics that impact its value like days on market and price drop history — Compass gives you a strategic head start. We showcase your home to our network of top agents and their serious buyers, allowing us to gather honest feedback on pricing with time to make adjustments before going public.

2. Generate Early Demand

LAUNCH AS A COMPASS COMING SOON

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. I’ll share key engagement insights on your listing, and all inquiries will come directly to me — rather than other agents who may prioritize their own listings.

3. Sell Better

LAUNCH ON ALL PUBLIC WEBSITES

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.

Pre-Marketing by The Numbers

Our research shows that Compass-sold homes that are pre-marketed before going active on the MLS, on average, are associated with these results:

2.9%

Higher Closing Price

One Connected Platform

Partnering with me gives you access to Compass One — our integrated dashboard where we collaborate through each phase of the listing strategy, monitor the market and engagement insights, and stay on top of the transaction. With all the moving parts in one place, you can minimize the stress of the selling process, giving you confidence and clarity at every turn.

Findings from the internal analysis were based on a hedonic regression analysis that examined Compass residential closed sell-side transactions from January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024, nationally and for all residential property types (single family, co-op, condo, townhouse, and condop). For 2024, Compass pre-marketed listings are associated with an average 2.9% increase in the final close price versus Compass listings that went directly to the MLS. The estimated effect has a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1.9% and 3.9%. This finding may vary depending on market conditions and seasonality.

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

Validate Pricing
