Featured Listings
Looking beyond these listings?
The 60/40 formula.
Sixty percent is the work before we list. Forty percent is the work after — negotiation, timing, and reading the market in real time.
Off-marketCompass Private Exclusives
Chevy Chase, MD
Cash sale, three-day close
Challenge: A seller wanted top dollar on an as-is home with no repairs — and an offer carrying no contingencies.
Strategy: We marketed it as a blank-slate lot to investors and developers, ready to pivot to the open market if their offers came in low.
Negotiation: An offer landed in three days, and we settled terms over four more — across a national holiday.
Result: All-cash, no contingencies, no buyer-agent commission paid — within 11% of the renovated home next door.
Off-marketEstate sale · Compass Private Exclusives
Silver Spring, MD
Estate sale, 14% over asking
Challenge: An estate sale of a custom home with out-of-town heirs — facing $30K+ in repairs only if it couldn't sell off-market first.
Strategy: We marketed to Springbrook Forest families — who tend to move back to raise kids near their parents — with a neighbors-only Mother's Day open house.
Negotiation: The open house drew three offers in 24 hours, then two days of intense back-and-forth with all of them.
Result: 14% over asking, no contingencies, a 22-day close — and not a dollar spent on repairs.
Compass Private Exclusive
Rockville, MD
As-is sale, 6% over a renovated comp
Challenge: The home needed many updates and cosmetic repairs, and the seller wanted to test the market quietly first.
Strategy: We listed via Compass Private Exclusive — no days-on-market clock — while preparing to make the repairs if needed.
Negotiation: Priced right from the start, three offers competed, giving the seller room to choose terms, not just price.
Result: Sold as-is for 6% over a partially renovated home nearby.
On-marketVirtually staged · Premium marketing
Gaithersburg, MD
Holiday sale, saved after a walkaway
Challenge: Sell a townhome over the holidays in a shifting market, ahead of a school-boundary vote expected to weigh on older townhomes' value.
Strategy: Price it for current market, not last year comps.Premium advertizing and marketing with our virtual home tour, 3D Tour, virtually staged, premium photography and drone shots.
Negotiation: Three offers landed over list in week one; when the buyer got cold feet 10 days later, we reopened and went back under contract in three days.
Result: Closed in 44 days at 1% under list — after the vote, even larger townhomes nearby sold for less than ours.
