She helped us get ready to sell our home though her contact network. All the professionals she recommended were excellent She was always available to answer questions and address our concerns I highly recommend her to anyone selling a home in the area.

TEAM’S CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Jennifer & Andrew have been great to work with - personally and professionally - in both the sale of our old house and purchase of our new one. Without getting into detail, our situation was quite complex on the purchase side - so much so that my wife and I agreed that it required more expertise than could be fairly expected of any typical realtor or broker. The Oldhams provided that expertise for us, and we ' ve already referred another couple to them. 5 stars!
BUYER AND SELLER
Jennifer and Andrew were wonderful to work with, starting with pricing and sales strategy right up to negotiations and closing Highly recommended They both are seasoned professionals able to manage the entire sales process, and having a lawyer on the team provides additional clarity for occasional complexities.
SELLER
Jen and Andrew have beyond exceeded our expectations They were patient with us through a long search process, provided a consultative approach along the way, set realistic expectations without letting us overpay and we ' re never just here to sell us any house When it came time to sell our home the team of people they work with to prep, the marketing support and the frequency of updates keeping us in the loop has once again been over the top We could not be happier to be working with them, will 100% be referring our friends and colleagues and will without question use them again in the future.

A letter from Compass
CEO Robert Reffkin
Thank you for considering Compass to guide you through your home sale. At Compass, we ’ ve built the #1 real estate brokerage by sales volume in the United States and within 10-years of launching our first sale on Compass com, our agents have achieved over $1 trillion in sales volume We’ve accomplished this by helping homeowners like you protect and maximize the value of your most important asset – your home.
Compass has developed a 3-Phased Marketing Strategy, drawing on best practices from real estate developers, professional home builders, and luxury marketers to create demand, build momentum, and ensure your home is best-positioned for success. This phased marketing strategy can be far more effective than a single public launch. In the same way that Hollywood launches multiple trailers to build anticipation for a movie premiere, the Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy allows your agent to launch your listing multiple times, building similar excitement and demand.
Your Compass agent will guide you through every step of the strategy to help you choose what works best for your home and help ensure it receives the attention, interest, and the offers it deserves.
