The Origin Story
Robert Reffkin founded Compass in 2012, drawing inspiration from his mother, Ruth, a longtime real estate agent. He saw the pride she took in helping her clients navigate one of the most important transactions of their lives, but also the struggle of growing her business because she didn’t have the right tools or support to realize her potential.
Robert vowed to create a company that would do better for agents like his mom. He founded Compass to better serve the nearly 2 million agents in the U.S. and provide agents with everything they need to serve their clients, grow their business, and realize their entrepreneurial potential, all in one place.
Ruth is now a proud Compass agent having some of the best years of her career while in her mid-70s.
