A Brief Explanation of Ways to Sell Your Home with Compass 

Compass Private Exclusive (PE)

Home can be shown: Compass Private Exclusive (PE) listing is an off-market home that a Compass agent can share directly with their Compass colleagues. Property details aren’t disseminated and don’t appear on public home search websites. Listing your home as a Compass Private Exclusive allows you to control what information is shared —while still getting exposure to top agents at Compass and pressure-testing our pricing strategy. Homes that are in Compass Private Exclusive can be shown to Compass agents and their clients.

If you want to remain in Private Exclusive but have more marketing, you have the option to advertise on Compass.com and Thegoodhartgroup.com. The information will be available to all consumers, not just Compass agents and their clients. To submit to the websites, more information will need to be shared. Your home can be shown with your permission. 

The next step for wider exposure in Private Exclusive is for us to put up a sign, and advertise via mail, email, print, and social media but not put the information in MLS. Your home can be shown.

When advertising in PE we can do any combination of the above in terms of marketing and you can decide if you want your home to be shown or not. 

Bright MLS Coming Soon

Home cannot be shown: Bright MLS Coming Soon gives us valuable opportunities to market your property while building anticipation among potential buyers — all without accruing days on market. However, homes in Bright MLS Coming Soon status cannot be shown, and they can remain in Coming Soon status indefinitely. 

Full MLS

Some sellers prefer to just go straight into MLS. In this status, the home should be in picture-perfect condition or selling “as is”.  Showings must be allowed starting the day of launch in MLS. This status does expose the home to the largest number of buyers and gives a greater opportunity for multiple offers and good contract terms.
