MIAMI—Compass is expanding into the South Florida real estate market. The technology-driven real estate platform is based New York but sees a growing opportunity in the region.

Compass has made a name for itself in New York by building data-driven insights to make the process of buying and selling property “simpler and more intelligent.” The brokerage has created a proprietary app for agents and consumers that works to inform the decision-making process. The company's mobile app is the number one downloaded and top rated real estate app in New York.

“The Compass Florida operation will be headquartered and initiated in Miami Beach,” Beth Butler, president of the new Miami office of Compass, tells GlobeSt.com. “We will move to other areas in Miami and Florida over the next few years. Our recruiting efforts will determine where the next location is, in other words, we will go where our agents need us to be.”
