What happens when two brokers decide to split everything 50/50 and go ALL IN together? Scott Hustis and Mark Jovanovic were among the early Compass brokers who helped shape the company from its scrappy Urban Compass days into one of the largest brokerages in the U.S.
In this episode, we cover:
✅ How Scott & Mark built a true 20-year partnership by sharing everything equally
✅ The grit of grinding through the 2008 financial crisis in New York real estate
✅ Why they made the leap to join Compass early, and what those chaotic first months looked like
✅ Behind the scenes of Compass’ disruption strategy, growth, and culture
✅ Lessons on partnership, risk-taking, and betting on yourself
If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, real estate, or what it really takes to build something new, this one’s for you.
📍 Hosted by Max Crowley, Uber’s 25th employee.
