Work with us to sell your home as a Compass Private Exclusive
Who Says You Only Have One Chance to Make a First Impression?
Listing your home as a Private Exclusive extends your marketing runway and signals to buyers working with Compass agents that new inventory is coming. Drive interest with exclusive marketing and gain insights before launching to the public.
“We weren’t ready to fully list our home publicly, but we still wanted to test the waters and see if the right buyer might come along. Using Compass Private Exclusive was the perfect solution. It gave us access to a network of serious, qualified buyers without the stress of open houses or constant showings. Our home stayed private, but we still got the exposure we needed — and in the end, we sold for a price we were thrilled with. It was a discreet, professional process that worked exactly the way we hoped.”
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.
Private Exclusives allow you to market your home to buyers prior to investing time or effort into preparing it for the public.
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.
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.
Your privacy is valuable. Private Exclusives 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.
“We had been casually looking for the right home for months, but it wasn’t until we connected with Middleton Tampa Bay that everything fell into place. Their knowledge of the market, patience, and strategic approach made all the difference. They understood exactly what we were looking for — and more importantly, how to position us to succeed in a competitive market. When the perfect home came along, they had us prepared, confident, and ahead of the curve. The process was seamless from start to finish, and we couldn’t be happier with where we ended up.”
Working with a Middleton Tampa Bay agent grants you access to privately listed inventory before the rest of the competition.
Avoid bidding wars with other buyers and prepare the offer that makes the most sense for you, with expert guidance from your Compass agent.
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.
Private Exclusives may not be available in all markets, and availability is subject to change. Private Exclusives, inclusive of pre-marketing and listing strategies, are at the discretion of the seller. They are only visible to buyers and the Compass agents representing them in that market. Compass does not recommend one particular strategy or guarantee results. #1 in 2023 closed sales volume in the US per RealTrends.
