Compass Opens Second CVR Office
Real estate brokerage Compass has opened a second office on Coast Village Road, located in the former home of Red Hair & Makeup Studio, which closed earlier this year after 28 years in business. “We needed more space for agents to utilize, and this was the perfect spot,” said brokerage manager John Nisbet.
Now with more than 60 agents in Montecito and Santa Barbara, the technology-driven company will also keep the 4,000-sq.-ft. office space on the west end of Coast Village Road. The new office, located at 1270-1272 Coast Village Road, is separated into two workplaces on either side of the breezeway; one side houses the Morehart Group, and the other is a collaborative office space with five individual desks plus a well-stocked kitchen.
“Compass is all about collaborative, open space, where agents can work together, sharing market information in the process,” Nisbet said. The west-end office will continue to house administrative, marketing, and technology support staff.
The Morehart Group comprises four top agents who were working out of the first Coast Village Road office: Mitch Morehart, Susan Pate, Pippa Davis, and Beverly Palmer. The brokerage has welcomed several new agents in the last few weeks: Suzanne Perkins, Ron Brand, and Arthur Kalayjian are the latest to join the company. Downtown, the temporary Compass office on the corner of Anacapa and Carrillo will soon make way for a bigger, permanent office at 801 Chapala Street.
Compass, which was founded six years ago, has offices in more than 20 regions nationwide. For more information, visit www.compass.com. The new offices are located at 1270-1272 Coast Village Road.
