Compass has announced that the technology-driven real estate firm will be delivering the winning punch to sports and entertainment professionals through its newly formed Compass Global Sports & Entertainment Division, headed by Kofi Nartey out of the Beverly Hills office.
“Owning a professional basketball team gave me unique insights into their career-driven lifestyles,” said Compass Founder and Executive Chairman Ori Allon, who owns Israel’s Hapoel Jerusalem basketball team with NBA star Amare Stoudemire. “They may wake up one day in one city, only to learn they need to quickly move to another city with their entire family. A well-informed agent can be a huge time and energy saver so they can focus on being their best.”
Nartey, former manager of the Sports & Entertainment division at The Agency, boasts numerous high-profile clients, including Michael Jordan.
He appears regularly on HGTV’s Selling LA and he is the author of the upcoming book, Sellebrity: Breaking Into And Servicing The Sports & Entertainment Niche.
Compass, which opened in 2013, already has offices in Washington, D.C., Miami, Boston, the Hamptons, Los Angeles and Aspen, boasting a streamlined technology that empowers the consumer and the agent in facilitating faster and smarter transactions.
