Compass Properties provides North American real estate brokers and realtors the opportunity to add an international component to their business. We list a variety of global resort projects and re-sales through the Compass International Developer Network service. For a small annual subscription fee, this service provides you access to exclusive projects throughout Latin America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. This comes with all of the supporting sales tools and training you need to successfully market and sell real estate in international markets.
Service Overview:
•	Compass-approved listings of residential/commercial international resort projects and re-sales

Service Benefits: As one of the top master brokers in Central America, Compass Properties has established a strong working relationship with developers around the world. In addition, Compass Properties has conducted its own on-site independent research in these international real estate markets. This subscription service enables you to quickly tap into our expertise and network of the most reputable developers AND earn potentially higher commissions than would be offered through their standard "Co-Op" programs. This service saves you the time it would take to research each international real estate market and conduct due diligence on developers, so that you can focus on what you do best – SELLING!!

	Service benefits include:
•	Extensive Product Offering This service features listings at various price points from $100,000 homes to $3 million private estates, and commercial listings up to $40 million dollars (entitled master planned communities).
•	Due Diligence The real estate industry is generally less developed in emerging markets than it is in the United States. Developers in these markets are operating under a different set of industry regulations and legal frameworks that are unique to a particular country. Complicating this matter is the fact that many foreign markets do not have an MLS (Multiple Listing Service) or central database where brokers can list or search active listings. This makes finding any type of listings for new communities, re-sales or commercial properties very challenging. The Compass International Developer Network removes the time-consuming task of identifying reputable international developments. We have identified projects in the hottest global real estate markets, conducted thorough due diligence on each developer’s background, and conducted on-site due diligence to ensure that projects maintain the highest quality standards and marketability to discriminating North American buyers.
	Our due diligence process includes Legal background check on each developer to ensure they are reputable. This includes a check on each builder's resume. Legal title check to ensure a title policy can be purchase from a U.S,-based title company (e.g., Chicago Title, Stewart Title). Legal research to ensure property is not on leased land. Research and verification that all permits are in place (entitlements) and land is free and clear of any easements and liens.
	Location All residential communities are researched and analyzed to ensure they are located in the best, high-growth areas, with the highest potential of future appreciation. These areas are best suited for second home vacation owners or full-time retirees.
	Higher Commission Due to our outstanding reputation and strong builder relationships, Compass has pre-negotiated a higher commission than the developer or seller's listed "Co-Op". In some cases, this commission is a quarter percent to one percent higher.
	Ability to Become a Sales Center Trained broker partners can become an official sales center for international real estate through Compass Properties, pending approval. Please inquire for more information
