What is a Private Exclusive?

Private Exclusives are off-market listings only visible to Compass agents and their serious 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 You Should Use Private Exclusives

Quickly Test Your Price Without Risk

Avoid the negative impact from accumulating days on market and public price drops. Listing as a Private Exclusive gives you feedback from buyers on your aspirational price and positioning.

Soft Launch Before Being Market-Ready

Private Exclusives 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. Just like a movie trailer, a Private Exclusive signals to buyers that something is coming, weeks or months in advance.

Launch Your Listing Twice

Private Exclusive 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. Private Exclusives ensures that photos and floorplans of your home are only shared with Compass agents and their serious clients - details are not visible on public home search websites.

What to expect

A private exclusive listing is an off-market home that can be shared by a Compass agent directly with their colleagues and their buyers. Property details aren’t disseminated widely and won’t appear on public home search websites.

Discretion

Privacy is the ultimate commodity and the decision to sell your home is a personal one.

Flexibility

Decide when to share details about your home, including price, more broadly on your own timing.

Quality

Retain exposure to Compass agents, including premium placement on our agent facing platform.

Value

Get the best offer by testing the market privately to gather key insights without your listing getting stale.

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.

"My clients and I tested an aggressive price as a Private Exclusive on Compass. Another agent brought buyers to see the home and they submitted a full price, all cash offer within days. My clients said this was the easiest, no hassle sale they’ve experienced!"
