"I'm honored to join Compass, a company committed to empowering agents and ensuring homeowners retain control over how their properties are marketed, Glass said in a statement. This is a pivotal moment for the real estate industry, and I am excited to provide my expertise to a company that is so clearly aligned with supporting both its agents and the homeowners they serve."
"At Compass, we firmly believe agents should not be fined by MLSs or banned by Zillow for marketing listings off their platforms and that no agent should be told by an MLS or Zillow how they must work with their clients, Reffkin said. Bringing Ethan Glass on board as our chief legal officer reflects our unwavering commitment to seller choice and challenging these restrictive practices that limit when, where, and how homeowners can market their homes."
