Compass CEO Robert Refkin had a pretty pessimistic view of the economy and said he would be running his business accordingly. He also spoke on his own panel at the Real Deals Miami event last week, actually just a couple of hours before the Compass earnings call. Katherine: What stood out to you from his talk? No company has ever approached us about buying Compass. I can't say that without getting a lot of trouble.
Compass CEO Robert Reffkin had a busy Nov. 10. Hours after speaking at a TRD forum in Miami, Reffkin got on a conference call with analysts to discuss the company's much anticipated earnings results for the third quarter. Compass lost $157 million from July through September — more than it lost in the second quarter. Deconstruct looks at the state of the brokerage, why it's struggling and where it goes from here.
