I see Compass signs all over the place. What makes them interesting here? Are they doing something that every other large real estate company isn't also doing?

Yeah, they've raised a whole hell of a lot of VC money and are using it to buy up market share by luring top agents away from other companies.

They also have also have a nicer tech platform and recommender system, from what I understand.

I don't know the details of the platform, but I heard from friends who work for them as realtors that (supposedly) no one on the realtor side actually uses any of it. Compass pays the most, though, at least in the bay.
