Compass announces its partnership with MEIER Real Estate, the modern boutique agency. MEIER Real Estate services the needs of a broad client base ranging from executives in tech and finance to international clients and creative professionals. The team is led by Michael Meier, an influential real estate expert who has employed out-of-the-box marketing techniques to sell over $1 billion in real estate.

"We are confident that paired with our technology, Michael and his team will continue to push the bounds of what it means to provide exemplary service to their clients," said Rory Golod, President, Tri-State Region. "We know Michael's keen interest in innovation will push Compass's platform to get better and better.”

Throughout his career, Michael has propelled the use of modern tools to meet his clients' needs, pioneered Snapchat and Facebook Live as recruiting and marketing platforms, and has routinely led tech-focused industry discussions.

"I joined Compass to help my clients make better-informed decisions using real-time data," said Michael. "My clients deserve the best - with my 16 years of expertise as a top broker and Compass' technology, they are getting the best possible service and solutions for their real estate needs."

The partnership comes at a time when Compass is accelerating the release of tech-oriented solutions. On Wednesday, the venture-backed firm announced the release of Compass Lens, an AI-powered tool that allows homeowners to envision what homes would look like with cosmetic upgrades to maximize the homes' value.

"I was looking to build a technology platform at MEIER to give a better experience to my clients, but Compass already had it," said Michael. "Joining Compass will enable me to focus on sales and marketing and interact with other technology-focused executives who share a common vision with me on the future of this industry."
