Please read:

No one in the industry vets vendors harder than we do. The Marketing department and production team sources vendors for all Compass markets, trains them thoroughly on Compass style guides, and negotiates standardized rates.

The team has confirmed a ratio of vendors that are needed in each market relative to Agent count, and monitors Agent recruitment numbers to ensure we're providing enough vendors to meet all needs. We recommend that Agents work with approved vendors to ensure they are receiving the best rates and also to integrate their workflow most seamlessly with the Compass platform. The approved vendor lists can be accessed on Nav Center..

Why is this the current process for approving vendors?

By having tighter approved vendor lists in each market we ensure a certain amount of business for our vendors, which helps us negotiate the most competitive project rates for our Agents. For example, in 2017 the team reduced NYC vendor rates by an average of 16.4% for listing photography packages.

In addition, tighter vendor lists allow to thoroughly train vendors on all style guides and closely monitor their output, ensuring the agents get the top quality products they expect when they come to Compass (while also maintaining our brand standards).
