Shout-out to COMPASS Whidbey (www.CompassWhidbeyIsland.com) for ranking top 20 in the entire State for 2025 - as a true Partnership of Professional Real Estate Brokers, way to continue setting the standard for our industry! Thank you to the hundreds of clients every year here and millions across the nation that continue trusting us with your business!

A win for our Clients! As the #1 Brokerage in the US by volume, and the largest now by agents (thanks to the purchase of Coldwell, Better Homes, Sotheby's, Century 21 etc.) that means we ALSO have the leverage to STAND UP for our clients against unethical or unfair practices from the National Association of Realtors (at times), the Washington Association of Realtors (at times), and now Zillow.

If you weren't aware, Zillow had been hiding or prioritizing listings you as a Buyer look for, or hiding your own listings as a Seller in searches, based on agents who pay for priority placement and banning listings altogether (for example, an elderly client of ours did not want her home publicly listed during a certain period of time while she was home alone, and because Zillow did not make any money off these "exclusive" listings (sometimes referred to as "private listings" or "off-market") when her home DID come on the MLS, Zillow refused to display it and even when corrected, they buried it under many "sponsored" listings).

Now that COMPASS has patterned also with REDFIN for exclusive MLS display across the nation - Compass.com or Redfin.com is your best home-search tool and does NOT hide properties from you. Thankfully after this lawsuit win, neither does Zillow. Hopefully.

Fighting for our Clients. Thank you for your continued trust in COMPASS, wherever you are in the world and whatever your real estate needs!

The industry’s largest brokerage had sued the home search site over its Listings Access Standards, which conflicted with Compass’ marketing approach.

It's official: Compass, the #1 real estate company in the nation for 4 years in a row (thanks to all you Clients trusting us with your business!), who just this year bought out the largest real estate conglomerate in the nation (Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, Sotheby's, Better Homes & Gardens, Century 21, Christie's just to name some), has officially just announced that as of TODAY you (the Client) can reach even MORE Buyers across the nation, Private Off Market Listings from Sellers, and exclusive lending options from Rocket Companies: Rocket Mortgage and Redfin.

😔 No other state has a law like this. If you’re a buyer or seller in Washington, SB 6091 would limit your options and reduce the homes available on the market, particularly harming vulnerable groups like low-income and elderly citizens. By restricting the freedoms that exist for home sellers and buyers in every other state, SB 6091 removes the inherent rights of Washingtonians to choose how to buy and sell their homes. It only stands to benefit out-of-town corporate interests that already take homes away from hard-working Washingtonians. 😔

🫡At Compass, we will continue advocating for Washington buyers and sellers to have the same flexibility to choose how to buy and sell their homes as in every other state. Thank you for your continued support - there are many reasons I left the NAR monopoly of smaller franchises focused on "traditional ways of doing real estate" - this is one of them. COMPASS is the #1 Brokerage by sales volume AND brokers in the United States - and there's a reason for that, this is one of those reasons. Today if you're reading this, I'm asking for your help to click the link below and share your voice with our Washington Legislation.

👉 SB 6091 would limit the judgment, discretion, and fiduciary responsibility we as Real Estate Professionals bring to our clients every day. The idea that lawmakers would attempt to hard-code into statute how we serve our clients is deeply concerning, especially when the focus should be on expanding homeowner choice, not restricting it. And this push is happening even as our lawsuits on this very issue are already moving forward in Washington and New York. To think this happens no-where else in the union - it brings to question what the people behind the bill have as their ultimate motive. If you have ANY questions about what this means or how this looks practically, please ask. We can share countless personal stories of the real-world impact this has on our clients and their choice in how to sell their property.

👉 Click this link to tell our Washington legislators to oppose SB 6091. You HAVE to have a WA address, you fill it out and your name and submit. Thanks all!

I want to be among the first to officially welcome our Professional Real Estate Colleagues from Sotheby's Century 21, Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, Christie's, , Better Homes & Gardens, , and dozens of more non-national brands to the Compass Family! As of this morning, and far ahead of schedule, the merger has officially closed. You can read the plethora of news articles, see the increased stock activity and more, but if your local brokerage/team owner hasn’t shared this with you yet – here is the official “Welcome Aboard” letter from Robert himself: https://www.compass.com/newsroom/robert-reffkin-ceo-letter-2026/

We at https://compasswhidbeyisland.com/ are excited to partner with you on behalf of all of our clients here on Whidbey Island and the surrounding areas! If anyone reading this or seeing the news this morning would like to learn more, I’d love to share. If you're a Buyer or Seller (or prospective one!) and have any questions as to what this means for you when it comes time to transact here in the United States, I'd be happy to share. Have a great Friday morning all! 🫡

Nice!

Shares of real estate technology company Compass (NYSE:COMP) jumped 12.4% in the morning session after its planned merger with Anywhere Real Estate cleared a significant regulatory hurdle, overshadowing news of a large debt offering.

It's happening! Like Rome in its conquests - Compass has officially announced it's acquisition of ANYWHERE by the end of next summer (Coldwell, Better Homes and Gardens, Century 21, Sotheby's, etc.). And like Rome - COMPASS will continue to allow it's subjects to maintain their own identities, culture and gods - as long as they pay their taxes (agents to owners through their imposed "splits" or "plateaus", owners to Compass). This combines the #1 real estate brokerage in the nation (thank you clients!) with one of the highest performing real estate conglomerates on Wall Street - effectively doubling the funding and profit available to COMPASS, it's shareholders, back to the real estate agents at COMPASS, and ultimately, back to YOU, the Client. I am living through a transition much like Paper MLS's to the Internet - those led by fear and disbelief were left holding the real estate yellow-pages.

👉As a Client - give us a shot and see why we are #1. The cost to you is the same or better, and the services to you are 10-fold. Don't take my word for it though - always do your own research and think critically.

👉As an Agent, come have coffee with me or give me a call. I'd love the opportunity to share with you why I also work here.

As LeVar Burton used to say in "Reading Rainbow" - you don't have to take my word for it. Congratulations to Compass, Compass Washington, Tim C. Miller - Compass Real Estate and all involved! 🙌
