Compass Expands Into Lake Country With No. 1 Agent

MILWAUKEE, WIS., OCT 28, 2021 — Compass, Inc. (NYSE: COMP), a leading real estate technology company, today announced its expansion to Wisconsin’s Lake Country with the area’s No. 1 agent, JJ Hausmann. Hausmann is the No.1 producing agent in Waukesha County and No. 2 in the whole Wisconsin MLS. In addition, he has been the top-selling lake home agent in Wisconsin since 2008.

“My team is incredibly excited to be the founding agents to bring Compass to Lake Country. I have been following the growth of the company for years and saw the success agents have had in other markets,” said JJ Hausmann. “This collaboration combines our industry-leading client connections and marketing with Compass’ next-gen technology services. As technology plays an increasingly critical role in real estate, this partnership will provide our clients with the best path towards success in the new digital landscape. Together, working as one team, we will unlock the full potential of technology in real estate and will generate an industry-leading platform for our clients.”

The move into Lake Country further deepens Compass’ footprint and expands its commitment in the state of Wisconsin. Compass expanded into Wisconsin in August with 16 top agents in Milwaukee representing more than $110 million in 2020 sales volume. In addition to principal agents Karine Sewart and Charlie Hutchinson, Compass was able to ink deals with top producer Shar Borg and Collin Yellich. Since then, the company has seen rapid expansion, growing to 44 agents, eight unlicensed team members, and 14 staff, including Head of Operations Chanté Blough, Managing Director Kel Svoboda, and Managing Broker Bernie Weiss-Rhodes.

“Compass believes that agents are, and will continue to be, central to residential real estate transactions. That is why we are beyond thrilled to bring the No. 1 Lake Country agent onto our team,” said Bernie Weiss-Rhodes, Managing Broker. “Not only does this strengthen our presence in Wisconsin, but it also helps us serve our Compass agents in the Chicagoland area who have clients that are looking for lake homes in Wisconsin. As a result, the Compass referral network just got a lot stronger.”

Compass is home to nearly 23,000 agents operating in over 62 markets in the U.S. In 2020, Compass agents assisted home sellers and buyers to transact approximately $152 billion in residential real estate, making Compass the largest independent real estate brokerage in the United States.

“What excites me most about the company is the strong investment it has made in technology that makes people better rather than replace them. Real estate is only getting more competitive, as we’ve seen over this past year. The expanded digital reach through Compass technology now gives us more ways to better connect sellers and buyers, improving the overall experience,” Hausmann added.
