Selling your Nashville home

Pricing, preparation, and marketing that position your home to sell well.

Your home. Your choice.

The Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy

Protect and maximize the value of your home with a structured launch designed to test pricing, build maximum exposure, and create a strong market debut — and stay in control of how, when, and where your home is marketed, with a strategy tailored to fit your needs.

Phase 1 · Validate pricing

Compass Private Exclusive

Validate your price with 340,000 agents across our network of brokerages, gaining early exposure without days on market, price drops, or a rushed timeline.

Phase 2 · Expand reach with no risks

Compass Coming Soon

List publicly on Compass.com and Redfin.com, expanding your home’s reach to 60 million buyers while protecting its value. Buyers using See It First™ on Compass.com find homes before they’re available on other websites — yours included.

Phase 3 · Sell better

Public websites

Backed by pricing insights and buyer demand, your home enters the broader market positioned to achieve the best possible price and terms.

Data reflects a 12-month period ending March 2026. Source: Compass. Findings reflect a combination of descriptive statistics and a causal analysis of the impact of Compass pre-marketing strategies on residential property close prices. The faster time-to-contract (34%) and reduced likelihood of a price drop (29%) findings are descriptive statistics comparing the average of Compass residential listings that went active on a MLS and were pre-marketed as a Compass Private Exclusive and/or Compass Coming Soon vs. the average of Compass residential listings that went active on a MLS but were not pre-marketed; all such values reflect a 12-month trailing moving average. The close price finding (4.6%) reflects a causal analysis based on a hedonic regression of 70,809 closed Compass residential sell-side transactions listed between April 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026, across markets where Compass brokerage operates and for all residential property types (95% confidence interval: 4.2%–4.9%). This finding may vary depending on market conditions and seasonality; results are based on current data and methodologies and should not be interpreted as definitive predictions of future outcomes. Compass utilizes a Compass Private Exclusive listing and/or Compass Coming Soon listing at the direction of the seller. Compass makes no warranty, representation or guarantee as to the accuracy of these results or any actual outcome of using the Three Phase Marketing Program. Results may vary.

The 3-Phased Marketing Strategy offers distinct pathways crafted to align with your goals, your timing, and your vision — and every option is set out in Compass’s 3-Phased Marketing Strategy Disclosure Form, so you decide how your home is sold.

Phase 1, explained

What is a Compass Private Exclusive?

Compass Private Exclusives are properties that are accessible to 340,000 agents in Compass’ network of brokerages and their serious buyers. This gives you a head start marketing your home and building exposure – without public days on market or price drops that could damage its value.

Early launch opportunity

Gain exposure before being market-ready

Listing first as a Private Exclusive gives you valuable time and early exposure. Your home is showcased to 340,000 agents across our network of brokerages and their serious buyers, helping generate interest before the public launch – even while renovations or repairs are still underway.

No negative data

Test price without the risk

Get real-time feedback and engagement insights on your price and positioning so you can make informed adjustments before going public. With no days on market or price drop history, your home’s value and your negotiating power stay protected.

A discreet approach on your terms

Maintain privacy

As an off-market listing, your home’s photos and floorplans are shared only within our trusted network. Use this time to schedule private showings at your convenience, avoiding the disruption of public open houses.

Sell on your terms

Two common situations, two answers

Home not market-ready?

Listing first as a Compass Private Exclusive buys you time. Begin testing your price with a select audience and attract buyer interest while your home updates are still underway.

Don’t want a public open house?

Preview your home to serious buyers and build demand by listing as a Coming Soon — so you can schedule private showings on your own terms, without the stress of open house foot traffic.
