Compass Provides Agents with a Platform to Guide Buyers and Sellers Through Every Step of Their Homeownership Journey New York, New York — Monday, February 3, 2025 — Compass, Inc. (NYSE: COMP) (“Compass” or the “Company”), the largest residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, announces the launch of Compass One, the client-facing version of its end-to-end technology platform for real estate agents. Compass One is the only platform designed to connect you and your agent through every phase of your real estate journey and experience 24/7 transparency before, during, and after the transaction for total peace of mind. Through Compass One, agents invite their clients to an all-in-one experience where they can access the tools, services, and advantages Compass offers. Compass One will help strengthen agent-client relationships, drive repeat and referral business, and unlock new opportunities for ancillary services. “Compass has invested $1.6 billion to create the industry's leading technology platform for real estate agents,” said Ori Allon, Compass Founder. “With Compass One, we're bringing that same innovation to consumers, offering a single access point that seamlessly connects them with their agent through their real estate journey.” “Buying and selling a home can be stressful and confusing—but it doesn’t have to be,” said Compass Founder and CEO Robert Reffkin. “By enabling agents with technology that delivers 24/7 transparency before, during, and after the transaction, Compass One showcases the agent's value well beyond just facilitating transactions: It reinforces their role as trusted, full-service real estate advisors, providing clients with expert guidance at every stage of homeownership.” Home buying and selling can often feel overwhelming and complex, with limited visibility at each stage of the transaction. Compass One aims to eliminate these challenges by providing a streamlined, stress-free experience that guides consumers through every phase of their homeowner journey—before, during, and after their real estate transaction: Before the transaction: Compass agents invite their clients to the platform, where they gain access to a curated dashboard and customized timeline. Buyers can easily review their home search collection, view their home tour, review personalized market analyses, and access Compass-exclusive inventory. Sellers gain access to a custom market-valuation of their home, real-time visibility into neighborhood trends, and powerful pre-marketing tools like Compass’ 3-Phased Marketing Strategy. During the transaction: Compass One becomes the single access point to keep clients informed once the home is in contract. Agents can share upcoming steps, key dates, tasks for clients to complete, and essential documents, ensuring clients stay organized and informed. After the transaction: Compass One offers an easy way for clients to access documentation and stay connected with their agents, who can provide regular market updates and guidance on homeownership or future real estate needs. Compass One was developed by Compass’ in-house technology team — the largest in the brokerage industry — and combines high-tech solutions with high-touch service, empowering agents with best-in-class tools and support to grow their business, streamline transactions, and deliver exceptional client experiences.

Known as Kind of Blue Manor, the Agoura Hills home features a recording studio, movie theater, wine cellar, pool, and sports court. By Wendy Bowman Several years ago, smooth jazz saxophonist Warren Hill and his record producer wife Tamara Van Cleef picked up a home in the Agoura Hills suburb of Los Angeles, decking out the place from head to toe with glitzy amenities and even spawning a Top 10, Season 15 American Idol finalist during their tenure in the form of their pop singer daughter Olivia Rox. Now the music-oriented couple has decided to move on from their obviously cherished Tudor-style digs, asking a slight beat under $6 million. Originally built in the mid-1980s and described in the listing held by Alessandro Corona and Brandon Doolittle of Douglas Elliman as a harmonious blend of “British Rock Star grandeur and comfortable elegance,” the aptly nicknamed Kind of Blue Manor features seven bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 7,000 square feet of multi-level living space. Sited amid a woodsy parcel of land spanning just over an acre, within the gated Medea Valley Estates community, the striking blue brick and shingle-roof structure is fronted by a circular driveway that empties out at a four-car garage tucked off to the side. A walkway leads up to ornate wood and glass doors, which open into a double-height foyer displaying polished marble floors and a waterfall crystal chandelier dangling from a coffered wood ceiling. From there, the entry level features a combination living and dining area sporting a massive stone fireplace, a hand-polished rock crystal chandelier, and French doors leading outside, plus an updated kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, top-tier Bosch, Thermador and Sub-Zero appliances, a wine fridge, and an accompanying Moroccan-style breakfast nook. The first of two primary suites on this floor has a bath equipped with a spa tub, an oversized shower, and a large walk-in closet. In addition to a formal dining room, two guest bedrooms, and a full bath, the main level offers a fireside sitting room flaunting a lofty lounge area, a full seated bar, a space with arcade games, and a movie theater. A second primary suite and an optional recording studio can be found upstairs, while the finished basement hosts a billiards room, a 350-bottle wine cellar, and a red-hued library lined with glossy black bookshelves. Topping it all off are the resort-like grounds, which overlook the Santa Monica Mountains and hold four covered cabanas, fire pits, custom fountains, an al fresco kitchen and bar setup, a saltwater pool with a waterfall and spa, a sports court, and an outdoor shower and infrared sauna nestled alongside a citrus grove. The property also abuts the Paramount Ranch recreation area, which is ideal for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Click here for more photos of Kind of Blue Manor.
