Pleased to have Compass Chief Real Estate Strategist Mark McLaughlin on the Real Takk Pod to discuss all things real estate at the operational end, his beginnings, the growth & sale of his previous brokerage firm Pacific Union, and of course, one of our favorite states & destination Jackson Hole Wyoming where Mark currently resides.
Mark's resume is phenomenal, from initially buying condos in SF, to buying developing Pacific Union, the financial struggles through his divorce, his incredible growth of Pacific Union to become one of California's largest residential brokerages, to ultimately selling the company to Compass for an 8 figure price, to what he is doing now as one of our leaders at Compass.
Our topics include:
- What were the keys in going from 450 agents and 17 offices with 2B in sales volume, to 50 offices & 14B in sales volume with Pacific Union?
- Was an exit from Pacific Union always the goal? How did you take the initial approach from Compass? Why sell when things were going to sell for you out west?
- What are some of the biggest pitfalls you see an agent making in the post covid world of real estate? And for sellers & buyers?
- Lots of negative news about our stock price in the last year. What are your thoughts on Compass from an investor/stakeholder POV?
- What are your thoughts on the progression of our technology at Compass?
Please follow Mark's journey here:
