What to Expect

Listing or staging photography
Compass Network

Pre-market promotion inside Compass can create early visibility, sharpen positioning, and surface buyer interest before a listing is fully public.

01

Setting the Stage

From applying a fresh coat of paint to rearranging furniture, your agent ensures the property is visually ready for showing. We coordinate professional photography, an illustrative floor plan, and listing copy that introduces the home with clarity.

02

Going Live

The listing is launched on compass.com and distributed across Compass partner sites for the duration of the selling process, creating broad digital visibility from the start.

03

Spreading the Word

Your Compass agent develops and executes a targeted paid marketing plan with beautiful collateral to showcase the property strategically. Property signage is also produced and installed where appropriate.

04

Making Connections

Your agent continuously leverages professional relationships and the Compass Network Tool to identify likely buyer brokers. Open houses are hosted for both brokers and clients on an ongoing basis.

05

Test the Market

Within the first 30 days, your agent assesses the market response, gathers buyer and broker feedback, and revises the listing strategy if the data suggests a sharper path.

06

Measuring Success

Your agent provides ongoing updates and performance metrics so you can see how the listing is landing and where the strongest momentum is building.

07

Optimizing the Offer

After an offer is made, your agent contacts interested parties, reviews the terms with you, and raises all counter-offer options. Once a deal is accepted, the transaction summary is circulated and the contract is negotiated and signed.

08

Finalizing the Details

Your agent tracks contingency periods through the in-contract phase and helps coordinate the financial and supplemental documentation that must be submitted to the managing agent when applicable.

09

Completing the Close

The appraisal and inspection take place, the attorneys set the closing date, and your agent arranges the final walk-through and closing itself, where the keys are handed over to the buyer.
