For those who know me well, you know that I'm not a huge "change" person. I like things to stay the same, I like consistency, and if something works, I like to stick to that plan and rarely deviate. As spontaneous as I seem sometimes, I really don't love to change something if I think it's working. For the bulk of my real estate career, I've really only been affiliated with Keller Williams. After 5+ years working with KW and 7+ years overall as a licensed Realtor®, it felt like the right time to make a move and partner with Compass to take my business to the next level.
When Compass approached me several months ago, I truly had a hard time making the decision to switch brokerages and make the move logistically. There's a lot that goes with moving offices and brokerages, hence why I have only done it once before. Now that I've made the move, I couldn't be happier. You always question whether you are doing the right thing or whether it's worth it or not, but Compass has exceed my expectations!
Since I've joined Compass, it's been one great experience after another. The onboarding process alone was incredible! They truly make you feel welcome, they walk you through the technology platform and they set you up for success. My new office has a Sales Manager, an Agent Experience Manager and an Agent Experience Coordinator, and they have shown up every single day to provide support and counsel to help my business grow. In addition, shortly after I joined, I got a call from a number I didn't recognize coming from New York. I decided to answer it, and I then found myself speaking with Robert Reffkin himself! I was honestly shocked - I couldn't believe the CEO of Compass took the time to call me personally. It was just another reminder of how great Compass is, and how much value they place in their agent experience and customer service.
I even found out that I have access to a marketing team, who have helped me with everything from branding, newsletter design and marketing consultation for my listings. This resource has been invaluable to me, because I have a lot of marketing ideas and projects I want to implement, and this team can take that off my plate and let me focus more on my clients!
One of the best things about Compass is their technology platform. It was overwhelming at first, but now that I'm about 2 months in, the access to the tools and resources I have within this tech platform is honestly jaw dropping. Their integrated platform allows me to perform a lot of my job functions in one place, and they've created this technology to be super user friendly! They also rolled out a customer dashboard called "Compass One". Compass One is the only platform designed to connect my clients with every phase of the real estate journey. Every document that is sent or signed can be accessed and seen through this dashboard! My clients also get access to CMA's, home tours, listing insights, upcoming tasks and events on the schedule and much more!!
The other great thing about Compass is being able to be around productive agents that push me forward. Compass is the #1 brokerage in the U.S., achieving that feat four years in a row (Source: RealTrends Closed Sales Volume from 2021-2024). In the DFW Metroplex, some of the very best Realtors® work at and with Compass, so I'm excited to learn from them, grow with them and have access to their clients who are looking to buy and sell as well. The market share access comes into play significantly with off-market property access, which Compass refers to as "Compass Private Exclusives". My sellers now have more choices than ever on how to market and sell their properties!
If you are thinking of buying a home, selling your home, investing in real estate, renting a property or leasing your property out to a tenant, give me a shout! Compass has given me incredible tools to share with my existing and future clients, and I'm exciting to share them with you all over the next few months! If you are a Realtor® with another brokerage, shoot me a message or call me to connect. You too will be blown away by this amazing real estate brokerage!
