Compass 3-Phased Marketing

Selling your home deserves more than a one-size fits all approach. That's why we created the Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy, to help homeowners like you protect and maximize your most valuable asset – your home. Just as Hollywood releases trailers to build anticipation for a movie premiere, you can launch your listing multiple times to build similar demand. With this approach, I'll help ensure your home gets the attention, interest, and offers it deserves.

ONLY ON COMPASS

A Smarter Way to Sell Your Chicago Home

Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you'll make. You should get to choose how and when it's marketed, based on your goals and timeline.

The Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy is a structured way to validate your price, build early demand and position your home for a strong public launch. Camille Canales and our team use it to help Chicago sellers protect their home's value while still reaching the widest pool of buyers.

A Strategy That Gives You More Choice

Traditional listing methods force a tradeoff: protect your home's value by keeping it quiet, or maximize exposure and risk racking up days on market and visible price drops. With Compass, you don't have to choose.

The result is stronger positioning, more negotiating leverage and the best opportunity to get your ideal price and terms.

The Three Phases

PHASE 1  ·  COMPASS PRIVATE EXCLUSIVE

Validate Pricing

Share your home exclusively with 340,000+ agents to gain early exposure, test pricing and make adjustments, without public days on market or a visible price-drop history. Learn more about Compass Private Exclusives.

PHASE 2  ·  COMPASS COMING SOON

Expand Reach With No Risks

With pricing validated by real market response, your home launches publicly on Compass.com and Redfin.com, reaching 60M+ unique monthly buyers while staying protected from days on market.

You may opt out of syndication to Redfin.com at any time.

PHASE 3  ·  PUBLIC WEBSITES

Sell Better

Backed by early demand and a price the market has already endorsed, your home enters the broader market, including the MLS and major listing sites, positioned to achieve the best possible price and terms.

How It Fits Into Our Selling Process

The 3-Phased strategy is how we launch. Before Phase 1, we build your pricing strategy and get the home ready:

  • Pricing: a comparative market analysis based on the sales closest to your home. Start with a free home valuation.
  • Preparation: professional cleaning and home staging, with Compass Concierge available to front the cost of updates.
  • Presentation: professional photos, video and floor plans for every listing.

See the full process, with video, in How We Sell Chicago Homes.

3-Phased Marketing FAQ

What is a Compass Private Exclusive?

A listing shared only with Compass agents and their buyers before it goes public. It lets you test your price and gather feedback without building days on market or a public price history.

Will my home rack up days on market during Coming Soon?

No. During Phase 2, your home is visible on Compass.com and Redfin.com while staying protected from days on market.

Do I have to use all three phases?

No. The strategy is flexible. We'll recommend an approach based on your home, your timeline and current market conditions.

Is the 3-Phased Marketing Strategy only available with Compass?

Yes. Private Exclusives and Coming Soon are Compass programs, available when you list with a Compass agent.
