Compass is expanding its presence in New York City with the addition of Manhattan-based Coldwell Banker Warburg, which will operate as Warburg at Compass moving forward.

Compass’ Growing New York City Footprint

CB Warburg agents were told about the move last week, according to reports. The firm, currently led by Coldwell Banker Regional VP Kevelyn Guzman, will leverage Compass’ resources to enhance its operations.

“We’re excited that Warburg’s agents are joining Compass’ New York City operations,” Compass spokesperson Devin Daly Huerta said in a statement.

Compass aims to help Warburg agents deliver “greater value” through enhanced resources and opportunities for collaboration. By providing these professionals with the necessary tools, Compass seeks to raise the overall client experience.

CB Warburg, which lists over 100 agents on its online roster, joined Compass parent company Compass International Holdings earlier this year as part of the firm’s acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate. This latest move shows CB Warburg now picking up the Compass brokerage banner, further solidifying Compass’ presence in the New York City market.
