Just realized it wasn't Compass, but another company by the name of Calculate. Sorry guys.

Compass won’t go away, but they’re making enemies among brokers and the DOJ has its crosshairs on realtors.

Compass locks in realtors to long contracts with expensive break clauses and really only supports the top of the top with marketing dollars and support. If you’re not there, there’s a lot of churn when the contracts end. Compass also barely plays outside of high-end markets, so you have to wonder what’s going to happen when the market slows.

The DOJ thinks (rightfully) that realtors are a cartel that colludes to artificially inflate broker commissions. Try getting a broker to negotiate their commission down or sell FSBO and not offer standard buy-side commission. It’s almost impossible. What’s going to happen to Compass who has built a model on high-end sales with 2.5-3% commissions when realtors are forced to be more flexible on price?

There are better RE plays than compass.

Hmm thanks for sharing this!

I’m not sure who you mean by Compass. If you mean Compass Lexecon (Econ consulting) they are a great firm, esp the office in DC

Definitely not the same. They're talking about the Series G 8 billion dollar startup: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/compassinc

Pay for associate?

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?
