“We
are
honored
to
welcome
Vista
Real
Estate
and
Halo
Group
Realty
to
the
growing
Compass
family
serving
Texas,”
Gabe
Richter,
Compass’s
regional
vice
president
for
Texas,
said
in
a
statement.
“The
addition
of
Vista
and
Halo
strengthens
our
ability
to
deliver
extraordinary
experiences
for
our
clients
in
Texas,
and
we
look
forward
to
all
that
we
will
accomplish
together.”

Over
the
past
10
days,
Compass
has
witnessed
the
return
of
top
Orange
County,
California-based
agent

Brian
Sperry,
as
well
as
the
hiring
of
Hamptons,
New
York-based
luxury
broker

Terry
Cohen
and
the

addition
of
three
top
agents
to

The
Gambino
Group. 

On
Tuesday,
Compass
informed
the


National
Association
of
Realtors
(NAR)
and
MLS
leaders
that
it
is

no
longer
adhering
to
the

Clear
Cooperation
Policy
or
any
other
national
MLS
policy
that
it
thinks
will
negatively
impacts
clients.

The
brokerage
is
also
currently
facing
its
fair
share
of
legal
challenges
—
including
being
named
as
a

defendant
in
a

telemarketing
lawsuit.
That’s
on
top
of
other
courtroom
battles
with


Northwest
MLS
and


Zillow.
