Key points: Neda Navab, formerly president of brokerage operations, was appointed president of Compass in February. Upon taking the expanded role, she committed to hosting 100 agents events in 100 days to demonstrate that the company’s leadership will “walk the talk.” In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with Real Estate News, Navab shared her thoughts on Compass' rapid evolution, her aim to foster a "big and boutique" mentality at the company and the impact of the war in Iran on her family. As more agents from other brands join the company's platform, Navab's goal will be ensuring that Compass brokerage agents continue to glean as much from it as possible and use the platform to its fullest potential. Reffkin "genuinely wants to build a better industry for the real estate professional, and thereby for the client," Navab said.
