Compass = Empowering our sellers ⬇️

Compass CEO & Founder Robert Reffkin just appeared on CNBC to address the nationwide lack of inventory, which remains 20% below pre-pandemic levels. However, at Compass, we create more inventory by taking the risk out of listing your home. Many sellers don’t want to list until the Spring market because they don’t want days on market to accumulate. Compass empowers home sellers by offering them the choice to showcase their listings without the negative metrics like days on market and price reductions added by third-party aggregators. As a result, there are almost 6,000 homes for sale nationwide that are only on Compass.com as a Compass Private Exclusive or Compass Coming Soon. Contact a Compass agent to learn how they can help you.

Sold for the highest price per square foot in the seven Oaks community!💥💥💥

Karen loves selling homes 🏠 and some homes are more special than others✨535 Crepe Myrtle Ct was her mother and father in laws' home.

The home was designed with European flare by her late father in law, who was an outstanding designer.

About 6 months ago they started the process of preparing the home for sale with the hope of finding a buyer who will love and appreciate all the craftsmanship that was put into creating it.

After painting, purging, cleaning, staging and getting gorgeous photos of the home, it took exactly 4 days to secure a full price offer by an amazing buyer that told me that the home brought her to tears.

She is from Spain and it reminded her of "home". Karen is sure that her father in law is smiling knowing that the home is going to such wonderful buyers who will continue cherish and enjoy his magnificent design.

If you are looking to make a move in 2025 either in Georgia or NJ, our team is here to help you achieve great results!
