Leonard Steinberg

The Leonard Steinberg Team, Compass

Founder

27-year industry veteran Leonard Steinberg started a firestorm in the real estate profession by joining a small start-up technology-focused New York-based brokerage as President in June, 2014 after 17 years in the profession. The 50-person company - known then as Urban Compass - is now a publicly traded company mushroomeing at a historically rapid rate to an internationally recognized brand simply called COMPASS with over 350 offices throughout the USA and over $1 trillion collective sales volume within the past 5 years alone.

Leonard - along with his experienced team - has always remained active in daily brokerage, changing his title to Chief Evangelist/Corporate Broker in 2018 as COMPASS expanded to include multiple regional presidents. He writes a morning memo, the only one of its kind in the industry - 365 days of the year - to the entire COMPASS family and beyond that reaches around 50,000 recipients, daily. He embodies the modern real estate professional who provides substantive knowledge and non-Goggle-able insights about all aspects of real estate and full-fledged, elegant, and discreet advisory and brokerage services to sellers, developers, and buyers of New York/TriState property with decades of experience and multiple billion dollars in sales volume. Rankings by sales volume have never been the focus: The client is - and always should be - #1.  

His team has worked with numerous developers and their architects including Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Annabelle Selldorf, CookFox, Rogers, Stirk & Harbor, and Sir Norman Foster to help create and market some of Manhattan's most recognizable residential landmarks. Leonard and his highly experienced team also connect clients nationally and globally to the best pre-screened agents, best suited to the client's needs. LUXURYLETTER, the team's monthly newsletter started in July, 2004, reaches around 14,000 recipients monthly, the first real estate monthly newsletter of its kind.

Leonard is a Founding Vice-Chairperson of NYRAC, an industry organization created in 2018 for residential real estate agents focused on elevating the consumer experience by raising the quality of the residential brokerage profession in New York City, encouraging innovation, transparency, ethics, advocacy, influence, best practices, education, collegiality, and professional networking.
