Real estate isn't a profession with a lot of gold stars. That's why recognition like this matters. Not because of the ranking itself, but because it gives us a chance to stop for a minute and acknowledge the work that went into it.

By the time the RealTrends rankings are released, we're already halfway through the following year. The transactions are long closed, the challenges have been solved, and we're focused on helping the next group of clients.

Most of the time, nobody is keeping score. So congratulations to everyone who earned a place on this year's list! It's an accomplishment worth recognizing.

Now, back to this year...

There’s a particular kind of light that only shows up once the season turns, softer, later to arrive, and gone sooner. It changes how a home feels rather than how it looks, the kitchen that catches it at breakfast, the coastline that holds onto it a little longer at dusk, the porch where it lingers just past what summer allowed.

This week’s collection follows that light across five very different markets, mountain, coastal, and island, each one shaped by the season it’s entering rather than the one it’s leaving behind.

Happy birthday, Trevor ❤️

27 years ago, you made me a mom, and somehow we both survived me figuring out what I was doing. 😉

This past year has been one of my favorites to watch. I’ve never seen you more comfortable being exactly who you are. Watching everything start to fall into place for you makes me so happy.

You’ve built a life that fits you, surrounded yourself with great friends, and figured out who you are on your own terms. Wishing you another year filled with happiness, fun and adventure! (And some fantasy football wins)

Happy birthday, Trev. Love you!🎂 by @monicalussier_

Happy 21st Megan. You have been a shining star in everyone’s lives since the day you arrived. ❤️

You bring the sass, make us laugh and make everyone around you feel loved even with those slightly awkward hugs. 😂

Your heart for animals is enormous, your friends mean the world to you, and thankfully, you’re still never too old to cuddle with your mom.

I love that you are completely, unapologetically YOU!

Enjoy your day and year ahead! Now please make good choices… or at least choices you don’t have to explain to me. 😂🥂❤️ by @monicalussier_

Compass continues to strengthen its position as the leading modern real estate platform, reporting record-breaking Q2 2026 performance across brokerage, franchise, and integrated services.

What stands out:
• $4.31B in Q2 revenue, up 14.3% year-over-year on a pro forma basis
• $363M in Adjusted EBITDA, an all-time record for any second quarter in company history
• Full $300M Year 1 cost synergy target actioned five months ahead of plan, with the target now raised to $330M
• Brokerage GTV up 15.9% year-over-year, roughly 1,000 basis points ahead of a broader market that grew just 6%
• 21 consecutive quarters of market outperformance for the Compass standalone brand, extending to two consecutive quarters including Anywhere

For resort and second-home markets, this kind of scale only matters when it’s paired with precision. Compass continues investing in the tools, technology, and structural advantages, from its Home platform to reverse prospecting and buyer demand insights, that give agents a sharper read on hyper-local markets, not just a bigger footprint.

As the platform’s data and connectivity continue to compound, the advantage extends furthest in markets where nuance and trust matter most.

Strong networks create better outcomes.
Connected nationally. Trusted locally.

Perched high in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Los Gatos, this is the kind of home that instantly makes you slow down and take it all in. ✨

On the market for the very first time, this beautiful property offers sweeping mountain views, lush gardens, and a warmth that can be felt the moment you arrive. Every corner invites you to pause, breathe, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

One of our favorite moments while filming was chasing a butterfly through the garden to capture the quiet sense of tranquility that makes this property so special. 🦋

Inside, walls of windows flood the home with natural light while perfectly framing the panoramic views. The rich hardwood ceilings and floors add timeless character and warmth throughout.

It was truly a joy to capture this remarkable home. Some places are simply beautiful, others make you feel at home. This one does both. 💛

📍Los Gatos, CA

Vacation-home purchases continue to represent a meaningful share of the market, accounting for roughly 5-8% of all home sales in recent years. For out-of-town buyers, second-home ownership comes with a learning curve that a primary residence never teaches.

Weather is often the first blind spot. A buyer unfamiliar with a region’s seasonal patterns benefits enormously from a trusted local network, whether that means storm preparation on the coast or ice-dam prevention in ski country. Maintenance follows close behind. Mechanical systems, roofing, and landscaping deserve the same diligence as a primary residence, and that planning is best done before closing, not after.

Technology has narrowed the distance gap considerably. Connected systems now make it possible to monitor temperature, security, and deliveries from anywhere, while the right property manager, whether a seasonal watch service or a full concierge team, turns ownership into something closer to effortless. Insurance deserves its own conversation too. Vacancy risk often means higher deductibles and coverage requirements that don’t automatically carry over from a primary-residence policy.

And before any of it, a test run tends to serve buyers well. Renting or staying in the market first offers real clarity: whether the travel time works, whether the lifestyle fits, and how much upkeep someone is genuinely prepared to take on.

None of this diminishes the appeal of second-home ownership. It simply means the buyers who plan for it enjoy it more, and for longer.

Because second homes deserve specialized care.

Happy 24th Birthday, Shannon! 🎂🎉

No one gives you a manual for this stage of parenting. One day you’re holding the hand of a little girl who needs you for everything, and before you know it, she’s a grown woman building a life of her own.

I’ll admit, it’s not always easy letting go of the little girl I still see sometimes. But what a gift it is to watch you become exactly who you’re meant to be. As the years pass, the line between daughter and friend becomes a little blurrier, and I find myself loving this new chapter.

You are funny, adventurous, thoughtful, independent, resilient, and so much fun to be around. Watching you navigate adulthood with confidence fills my heart with happiness.

I couldn’t be more proud of the woman you’ve become.

Happy Birthday, I love you more! 💕 by @monicalussier_

The most valuable intelligence in real estate isn’t published in a report. It lives inside the people who are actually in the market.

Every Compass Resort agent is embedded in their market, tracking what’s about to list, reading seasonal demand, and understanding the signals that don’t show up in the data. That knowledge is earned through years of living and working in one specific place.

Now multiply that across 60+ agents, 98+ offices, and 23+ states.

What emerges is a continuously updated, ground-level intelligence picture of second-home destinations across the country, shared across a network aligned around one standard of service and one focus.

This is what separates a connected network from a directory of agents.

A smart decision starts with the right context.
