In today’s highly competitive real estate market, having an edge can make all the difference. When you work with a real estate expert like Steve Springer, you gain access to some of the most powerful tools available to buyers and sellers. One of the most valuable resources Steve offers is access to Compass Private Exclusives—off-market listings that provide unique advantages to both buyers and sellers.

If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in San Diego, here’s why using an agent with access to Compass Private Exclusives could be the game-changer you need.


What is a Private Exclusive?

Private Exclusives are a special category of off-market listings that are only visible to Compass agents and their qualified buyers. Unlike traditional listings that are immediately posted on the MLS and public search websites, Private Exclusives allow sellers to quietly introduce their property to a select audience without the pressures of being officially “on the market.”

For sellers, this means greater control over the timing and marketing of their property. For buyers, it opens the door to homes that they wouldn’t otherwise see—homes that are only accessible through a Compass agent like Steve Springer.

The Benefits of Compass Private Exclusives

Working with an agent who can offer you access to Compass Private Exclusives provides a host of benefits. Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Quickly Test Your Price Without Risk

Setting the right price is one of the most critical aspects of selling a home, but it can also be one of the most challenging. By listing your property as a Private Exclusive, you can get valuable feedback from serious buyers without the risk of accumulating days on market or showing public price drops. This allows you to refine your pricing strategy and optimize your positioning before your home officially hits the public market.

2. Soft Launch Before Being Market-Ready

Getting a home ready for sale often involves time-consuming preparations—whether it’s staging, repairs, or professional photography. A Private Exclusive allows you to start marketing your home to interested buyers before you’ve completed these tasks, giving you a head start in generating interest and demand.

3. Generate Buzz

Just like a movie trailer creates excitement for an upcoming release, a Private Exclusive can build early demand for your home. By quietly signaling to buyers that your property is coming soon, you can create anticipation and interest weeks or even months before your home is listed on the MLS.

4. Launch Your Listing Twice

One of the most unique benefits of a Private Exclusive is that it allows you to essentially launch your property twice. First, you can introduce it to the market as a Private Exclusive on Compass.com, where it’s visible only to Compass agents and their clients. Then, when you’re ready to go public, you can launch it again on the MLS and other aggregate sites—doubling your exposure and maximizing your chances of a successful sale.

5. Maintain Your Privacy

For many sellers, privacy is a top concern. Whether you’re a high-profile individual or simply value discretion, Private Exclusives ensure that the details of your home—such as photos, floorplans, and other information—are only shared with Compass agents and their qualified buyers. This means your property won’t appear on public home search websites, protecting your privacy and maintaining your home’s exclusivity.
