Compass Assistant
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Compass VA Match Program?
Compass heard from you that you wanted more options for virtual support and moved fast to create relationships with ClearDesk, a renowned Real Estate favorite with years of experience working with Compass agents.
How will I get matched?
We customized a thorough onboarding process which will include a survey and 1:1 interview with the Chief Sales Officer from ClearDesk. Armed with a deeper understanding of you and your business, your CA will be hand-picked to suit your needs.
How do I sign up?
Currently, this will be a limited release program (first come, first serve), but as demand increases, so will our offerings. Should we sell out of all of our available seats, you will be placed on a waitlist until the next round.
