Compass Exceeds Expectations in First Half of 2016
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 12, 2016 -- Luxury tech-driven real estate platform Compass announces a banner first half of 2016 marked by milestones in company expansion, revenue growth, and agent achievement. The Company last raised investor financing in September of 2015, and plans to raise capital again in late 2016 in advance of its plan to expand internationally.
Compass beat revenue targets for the past six quarters, increasing revenue 8x year-over-year in 2015, and has continued its rapid growth through the first half of 2016. Compass recruited $80 million in annualized GCI in the first two quarters of 2016. Additionally, the company crossed the 800 agent mark across its 22 offices in 8 regions, with that group now generating over $6 billion in sales volume annually. The company continues to see a 99% retention rate among hired agents.
The success of Compass’ recruiting efforts and existing agent business growth has resulted in meaningful market leadership gains. Compass was named #5 in NYC by dollar volume of Manhattan listings by The Real Deal and Compass DC became #3 in market by sales volume. The company also had 14 agents and teams named among the top thousand real estate professionals in the USA in this year’s Wall Street Journal/ Real Trends ranking. The Leonard Steinberg Team, led by Compass President Leonard Steinberg, was the #1 top-producing team by dollar volume in the country.
To date, Compass has raised $135 million in investor funding, more than any other residential brokerage in the country, from key investors including Institutional Venture Partners, Thrive Capital, Founders Fund, 406 Ventures, Advance Publications, Inc., Kenneth Chenault, CEO of American Express and Marc Benioff, Founder and CEO of Salesforce.com.
