Why Compass

June 15, 2020 by Mark Salmon

Discover how we’re helping buyers and sellers find their place in the world every day, one home at a time

Our platform was developed in-house and every Compass tool is designed to modernize both sides of the real estate experience. Just as we compare properties and measure marketing performance with sellers, we also offer buyers exclusive access to listings not seen anywhere else.

Locally, we’re counted among the top five brokerages in every one of our core markets; meanwhile,
our national presence and uniquely collaborative culture present agents with unlimited co-brokering and referral opportunities.

The 150+ members of our in-house marketing and advertising agency ensure that every home we represent is portrayed in its finest light across every platform—from eye-catching billboards and installations to stunning print materials and digital campaigns.

My sister Ashlee came to visit recently and it was My sister Ashlee came to visit recently and it was so fun taking her to some of my favorite spots! One of the perks of calling Lake Tahoe home is getting to show off all the adventure and natural beauty that comes with it.
