What is a Private Exclusive?
Private Exclusives are off-market listings only visible to Compass agents and their qualified buyers. This allows sellers to soft launch their upcoming sale to an expansive audience without being officially on the market.
With no online history except on Compass, Private Exclusives do not accumulate days on market, show prior price adjustments, or appear on public home search websites.
Why Seller's Should Use Private Exclusives
Quickly Test Your Price Without Risk: Avoid the negative impact from accumulating days on market and public price drops.
Soft Launch Before Being Market-Ready: allow you to market your home to buyers prior to investing time or effort into preparing it for the public.
Generate Buzz: Build early demand for your home before it hits the public market.
Launch Your Listing Twice: Creates two separate opportunities to launch your property: first on Compass.com, and then later when the listing goes live on the MLS and aggregate sites.
Maintain Your Privacy: Your privacy is valuable. This ensures that photos and floorplans of your home are only shared with Compass agents and their qualified clients - details are not visible on public home search websites.
Why Buyer's Should Use Private Exclusives
Working with a Compass agent grants you access to privately listed inventory before the rest of the competition.
Get Access to Exclusive Inventory Not Available at Other Brokerages: In an inventory constrained market, access to listings is everything. Working with a Compass agent from the #1 brokerage in the U.S. opens the doors to homes that are not available to the public yet or may never hit the market.
Take Your Time to Put Together the Best Offer: Avoid bidding wars with other buyers and prepare the offer that makes the most sense for you, with expert guidance from your Compass agent.
Preserve Your Privacy: If the home you buy is publicly marketed, the photos can be found on the internet for years to come. Avoid that and preserve your discretion by buying a Private Exclusive.
