She explains how she has sold in this environment, giving her a unique understanding of the challenges facing agents in this market.

Kaage continues: "No other company is reshaping the real estate industry by using technology to make people better, rather than replace them, and it's resulting in stronger relationships between the agent and the client. That's an evolution I knew I needed to be a part of, and one that I could positively impact."

Also serving as a board member, chairperson, and founder for various organizations in her local community and the real estate industry, Kaage also carries a wealth of philanthropic, organizational, and managerial proficiency to Compass.
