Expanding Empire

Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents

December 4, 2024

📈 Market Move:

Power Play

Compass just made a power move, dropping $444M to acquire @properties and Christie's International Real Estate. One brings serious clout as the 8th-largest brokerage in the U.S., while the other opens doors to a global network spanning 50 countries. The takeaway? Compass isn't just about helping agents crush it anymore—they’re now catering to independent brokers too.

This isn't a quick rebrand operation; both @properties and Christie's International will keep doing their thing under their own banners. But make no mistake—Compass is stacking the deck with assets like title, mortgage, and lead gen businesses to create an empire-level support system for real estate pros.

Translation: If you're in real estate, keep an eye on this one. The game just changed.

🌟Quote of the Day:

“Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not eliminating our weaknesses.”—Marilyn vos Savant

10-Minute Knowledge Drop: Record a quick video explaining a common real estate myth (like “You need 20% down to buy a house”). Post it to socials, and boom—you’re the go-to expert for clearing up confusion.

🎉 Fun Fact of the Day: 

Real Estate with a Splash: Venice’s famous canals were initially swamps turned into a “floating city.” What started as a creative workaround for land shortage is now some of the most expensive real estate in Italy. Genius or crazy? You decide.

📚 Book Recommendation:

"The Sales Acceleration Formula" by Mark Roberge — Here’s the deal: sales isn't about winging it anymore—it’s about systems, baby. Mark Roberge, the guy who scaled HubSpot's sales team from zero to hero, spills the tea on how to turn your sales process into a repeatable, data-driven machine.

This book is a game-changer if you’re trying to crack the code on hiring, training, and scaling a team that doesn’t just hit quotas but obliterates them. Plus, Mark doesn’t rely on “gut feelings” or charisma; it’s all about metrics, experiments, and formulas you can copy-paste into your own playbook.

Bottom line: if you want to sell smarter, not harder, this book deserves a spot on your shelf.
