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.

Let's Talk

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.

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.

Success Story

"Gretchen has listed many of our homes - she is top-notch! She is extremely responsive, knowledgeable and her negotiation skills are second to none! She works very hard on marketing our properties - we have used whole teams of people in the past who have not done half the work Gretchen has done to get our homes sold! She uses up to the moment technology to really show prospective buyers the properties. She is awesome with social media and makes sure the houses are presenting their "best selves" at all times. It is without hesitation that we would recommend Gretchen Coley for buying or selling a home in the Triangle!"

Looking to Buy in This Competitive Market?

Working with a Compass agent grants you access to privately listed inventory before the rest of the competition.

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.
