Ep. 150 - What Compass Private Listings Mean for REPs | Road to PMRE 2026 #11

Welcome back to another Upmarket episode—we're so glad to have you! Today in the studio, we welcome back one of our favorites, Sam Benner. Dare we even say our favorite realtor? Reed and Sam sit down to chat about private listings, what they entail, and the do's and don'ts of them. The guys dive into the allure of exclusivity in a world that has to play fair and how it could possibly help mitigate the scarlet letter of "days on the market"—a doom we all know too well. As always, we appreciate your listen and look forward to seeing you at PMRE in just two weeks!!!
