SAN DIEGO, CA. April 18, 2023 - Compass, Inc. (NYSE: COMP), a leading tech-enabled real estate brokerage, has announced the launch of its Military Division, an effort designed to provide knowledge and value to active and eligible reserve military members and veterans

in their home-buying journey. Led by Compass San Diego-based agent and retired Navy Senior Chief Todd Armstrong, alongside active duty 23+ year Navy Lieutenant Commander Michael Nyland, Compass' Military Division will be composed of Compass retired military agents, veterans, active duty members, military spouses, and agents with extensive VA transaction experience offering a premiere referral network for those relocating for their next assignment or retiring to their dream home.

"As a retired Navy Senior Chief, this division is a passion project for myself and my co-founder and chief operations officer, Michael Nyland," said Armstrong. "It represents a commitment to better serve those who serve. I believe that our veterans, Active Duty members, and military families deserve the highest level of support and service, and our division will help us deliver just that. We wanted to create a division led by veterans to serve our military community as we know first-hand how the military operates. What better way to do this than having a realtor who has worn the uniform, walked in their boots, and served our country."

"We built this division with the support and structure I wish I had for my first real estate experience," said Nyland. "Within the military, there is a high level of trust amongst those who have served or are currently serving. The Compass Military Division is the headquarters for that trust." 

Beyond the service and organization expectations, Compass' Military Division offers a dedicated home-buying education system designed for clients and agents to better understand the VA loan process. Seminars will include strategies on building wealth using VA benefits and tips on teaching Active Duty Members and Veterans how to move from a military career to a real estate career. Through the Military Division, Compass will help clients purchase and sell their own homes and teach military clients how to navigate the home buying and selling process for generations to come. 

"Compass' Military Division will serve a very important set of the population that has been underserved with a lack of home-buying resources," said Robert Reffkin, Compass Founder and CEO. "We are proud to have Todd and Michael spearhead this effort to further support our active duty and military families with the tools to build a real estate portfolio and move their families toward financial wealth." 

The division is actively sourcing nationwide Compass agents with members committed to building the Compass Military Division pipeline and their business. To learn more about Compass' Military Division, please visit compassmilitary.com or follow on Instagram @CompassMilitary.
