Frequently Asked Questions

Compass Plus is a specialized division of Compass, the nation’s leading real estate brokerage, that focuses on helping older adults and their families during significant life transitions, such as downsizing, moving into a senior housing community, moving in with loved ones or exploring other options.

Compass Plus goes beyond traditional real estate by offering referrals to personalized services like move management, estate planning referrals, and home health coordination. Compass Plus agents are real estate professionals and are required to earn certification by the Society of Certified Senior Advisor^® (SCSA). They have received in-depth education to understand the unique needs of older adults and offer compassionate, ethical, and expert service.

A Certified Senior Advisor^® (CSA) is a professional who has completed the certification and is able to demonstrate advanced knowledge in the multiple processes of aging, passing the multi-level criminal background check, and upholding the highest ethical standards for the benefit and protection of the health and welfare of seniors. This certification ensures that our agents are equipped to provide guidance tailored to the needs of seniors.

We offer a variety of services, including home evaluations, coordination with senior placement professionals, downsizing and movement specialists and estate planning referrals. We also provide access to Compass Concierge for a portion of home preparation services such as repairs and staging.

For many older adults the value of their home is a large factor to ensure the cost for care will be covered in the future. Ensuring our clients receive a top dollar sale price is a priority for our agents and their clients. Compass Concierge is a tool that allows sellers to prepare their homes for the market while not having to pay upfront for the expenses to do so. Compass Concierge covers a portion of the upfront costs for home improvements which may include repairs and painting, and staging, to help your home sell faster and for a better price. You only repay the costs when your home sells. This alleviates some of the initial worry and stress.
