Marketing by the Numbers
A Phased Marketing Advantage
Our research shows that Compass sellers who used a phased marketing approach saw three measurable advantages over going directly to the MLS and portals.

The Compass Advantage
The 3-Phased Marketing Strategy
Most brokerages push every home onto the MLS and portals on day one — where days-on-market counters, price-drop history, and automated estimates can start working against you immediately. As a Compass agent, Meg can offer a smarter, more flexible path that gives you the same advantages professional developers use: build demand privately, learn from real buyer data, and launch from a position of strength.
Compass Private Exclusive
Quietly market your home to Compass's network of 340,000+ agents and their buyers — without accruing public days on market or price-drop history. It's a way to test pricing, build early interest, and invite competitive offers from buyers who may pay a premium for first access.
Compass Coming Soon
Publicly launch on Compass.com and Redfin.com to reach millions of buyers with premium search placement — still with no days-on-market clock or price-drop history. Every inquiry goes straight to Meg, the expert who knows your home best, and you gain engagement insights that are lost the moment a listing goes live elsewhere.
Go Live on All Platforms
With real feedback and pricing data from Phases 1 and 2, your home launches on the MLS and all major portals — strategically positioned to generate maximum demand and the best possible price and terms.
Why This Beats a One-Size-Fits-All Listing
- Protect your home's value by controlling when the days-on-market clock and price-drop history begin.
- Keep buyer inquiries with Meg — not sold off to unfamiliar agents by third-party portals.
- Set your own price without outdated portal estimates shaping buyer expectations before you list.
- Prevent portals from attaching their own assessments that may misrepresent your home's true value.
You decide how your home is marketed — the choice belongs to you, not the MLS. Talk with Meg about which path fits your goals, timing, and comfort level.
Marketing strategy adapted from the Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy. Compass uses a Private Exclusive and/or Coming Soon listing only at the seller's direction; availability and options may vary by market. Not a guarantee of results.
