Compass has expanded its operations in California by absorbing the principal agents at CSR Real Estate Services in San Jose along with more than 40 of its agents, the company announced.
CSR no longer will continue as a brokerage. CSR's commercial division will establish Compass' commercial presence in the Silicon Valley, the company said.
“Our agents are the core of everything we do. We are not only committed to providing industry-leading technology, programs and support, but we are committed to creating the largest and strongest agent network in the region and country,” Compass Northern California Regional President Libby Leffler said in a release. “With the exciting addition of the CSR agents, we will continue to enhance our presence in the South Bay region and ensure that network grows quickly.”
The CSR team will continue to occupy its current headquarters, which will become an additional Compass office in San Jose and will operate under the management of Compass Sales Manager Dave Walsh.
“The real estate industry is undergoing a transition to modernize,” said Steve Bonafede, CEO of the previous CSR brokerage. “We’re thrilled to join Compass and dive into the technology and customer service-driven future with programs like Compass Concierge, Coming Soon and the new Bridge Loan Services initiative.”
