Compass announced that Ryan Garson and his six-person team have joined the firm. Garson, an influential Manhattan and Brooklyn real estate agent who has transacted over $100 million in sales, will pair his personalized approach and innovative marketing aptitude with Compass' in-house creative teams and the company's industry-leading technology to reimagine what is possible. 

"Ryan's entrepreneurial and creative talents will elevate what is it means to provide great service to his clients," said Rory Golod, President, Tri-State. 

Aside from his working as an agent, Ryan also leads Very Social, a strategic creative and social media agency that specializes in building and amplifying the brands of real estate professionals around the country through tailored social media strategies. As part of his partnership with Compass, Ryan will have access to the firm's extensive network and will be a preferred agency vendor. 

The partnership comes at a time when Compass is heavily investing in tech-oriented solutions. This month, the company acquired Modus, a Seattle-based startup that automates the closing process of selling a home. Earlier this year, the venture-backed firm announced the release of Compass Lens, an AI-powered tool that allows homeowners to envision what homes would look like with cosmetic upgrades to maximize the home's value. 

"Joining Compass provides me with unrivaled technology and dedicated support staff that will help me better serve my clients," said Garson. "Real estate and marketing are constantly evolving, and I want to be at the forefront of innovation." 

Garson was previously at Halstead, which recently merged with Brown Harris Stevens, where he achieved over 400 client success stories. He currently serves on the Garment District Board, is a founding member of the Anti-Defamation League's NY Next Generation Real Estate Group, and on the Executive Board of the 14th Street Y. 

Ryan's active listings portfolio includes  54 Warren Street, Unit PH, 77 Bleecker Street, Unit 1025, and 101 West 12th Street, Unit 3G.
