Imagine a world where you, as a seller, could test the market privately before officially listing your home for sale?
And if you’re a buyer, wouldn’t you love to know about homes before they are listed on the open market?
For both sellers and buyers, we have the solution with Compass Private Exclusives.
What is a Private Exclusive Listing?
A Private Exclusive listing allows your property to be marketed privately and effectively within our Compass brokerage. While your home remains off-market, it still reaches a significant portion of potential buyers. How? Compass agents represent 35% of the sales volume in San Francisco (and 40%+ in the Luxury Market), which ensures your listing will get significant attention before going public.
Why Choose a Private Exclusive Listing?
- Test the Market: This approach lets you gauge buyer interest and test pricing strategies privately. You can adjust your listing based on real-time feedback without the pressure of public scrutiny.
- Maintain Privacy: Keep your sale discreet while still accessing a substantial pool of serious buyers. This is ideal for sellers who value privacy but don’t want to compromise on market exposure.
- Strategic Advantage: By initially listing privately, you can build anticipation and generate buzz. When you’re ready to go public, you may already have a list of interested buyers, potentially leading to multiple offers in a shorter period of time.
- Time to Prepare a Competitive Offer: Buyers receive advance knowledge about listings through Private Exclusives, giving them the advantage of time to strategize and take the necessary steps to win the property.
A Recent Private Exclusive Success Story
We recently listed our clients’ home at 73 5th Avenue as a Private Exclusive with Compass, and the results were outstanding. Within 3 days of being on Private Exclusive, we had 15 showings with Compass agents and their clients. The overwhelming response gave our sellers the confidence to bring the home to the open market. The response was phenomenal—after just 7 days they received multiple offers and they are in contract to sell substantially over the asking price, with a strong backup offer in place! This strategic approach not only maximized the sale price but also ensured a smooth and confident selling process for my clients.
