The Compass advantage

Your home.
Your launch strategy.

Compare private, pre-market, and broader-market options with clear guidance about exposure, timing, preparation, and tradeoffs.

A three-phase framework

Choose how your home enters the market.

There is no single launch strategy for every property. Some sellers value privacy or need additional preparation time. Others want the broadest available exposure from day one.

Elliot will explain the audience, advantages, limitations, and practical requirements of each option so you can choose a path aligned with your priorities.

01Introduce

Compass Private Exclusive

Introduce the property within the Compass network before a broad public launch. This option may support privacy, preparation time, and early feedback, but it reaches a more limited audience than full public exposure.

  • Discuss discretion and showing access
  • Gather early agent and buyer feedback
  • Prepare for a later public launch when appropriate
02Build interest

Compass Coming Soon

Build awareness before the full market launch while photography, presentation, and timing are coordinated. Availability and public display depend on seller instructions, applicable rules, and current Compass programs.

  • Create awareness before active-market launch
  • Coordinate preparation and launch timing
  • Refine positioning with early market response
03Launch

Broader market exposure

Present the home to the wider market with coordinated pricing, photography, video, property copy, digital distribution, agent outreach, showings, and seller communication.

  • Reach the broadest available buyer audience
  • Launch every marketing asset together
  • Track activity, feedback, offers, and adjustments

A clear view of the tradeoffs

More privacy can mean less exposure.

A private introduction may fit a seller who values discretion, wants to test positioning, or needs time before a public launch. The tradeoff is a smaller initial buyer audience.

A broader public launch generally creates wider exposure, but it may require more preparation, access, and coordination. Elliot will compare the options without treating any one approach as right for every seller.
