Private Exclusive 101

A Compass Private Exclusive, also known as an “office exclusive listing,” is an off-market home that can be shared directly with Compass agents and 1:1 with buyers

• Property details aren’t disseminated widely and won’t appear on public home search websites 

• The option to keep a listing off the MLS for the entire life of the listing or exempt a listing from the MLS for a period of time can offer flexibility and time to test the market

A Compass Private Exclusive should be added to Compass when:

• You have a signed listing agreement.

• Your client has provided you with a SELM and still wants to get eyes on their listing before going live on the MLS.

• If your seller is concerned about their privacy.

• If you want to test the market without accruing DOM.  

Compass Listing Agents will be able to add offers of compensation to their listings in the listing editor.  Here are the steps:

• Log into https://www.compass.com/app/home/

• Click on Business Tracker > My Listings > Create Listing

• Under the "Listing Details" scroll down to the "Compensation" field 

• This information will appear on listing pages for agents and consumer

FOR SELLERS

• Test the Market privately without the Risk of Public Price Drops

  • Pre-market the home privately to perfect your marketing and pricing strategy. 

• Don’t Have to Sell Your Privacy to Sell Your Home

• Your privacy is always valuable… but especially in certain life circumstances such as divorce, financial hardships, confidential work relocation, illness, etc.

• Generate Buzz

• Get agents talking about a listing that has yet to hit the market. 

FOR BUYERS

• Get Access to Exclusive Inventory Not Available to Other Brokerages

  • In an inventory-constrained market, access to private listings is only available by working with an agent from the largest brokerage in the US.* This includes homes that aren’t yet ready to be shown publicly or may never hit the market.
