Private Exclusives
Many Harbour and coastal Huntington Beach homes trade as Compass Private Exclusives, sold before they’re ever public. Tell us the brief: islands or streets, dock size, budget. When something matches, you hear about it first.
“The rarest docks in the Harbour almost never make it to a listing alert. The right buyer was already on somebody’s list.”

How the private list works
1. Send the brief
Islands or streets, dock size, beds, budget, timing. Two minutes, and specificity is your friend.
2. We read it personally
Not an algorithm and not an assistant. Justin or Craig, usually within one business day, often with a question or two back.
3. You hear about matches first
Private Exclusives, pre-market listings, and quiet owners from four decades of Harbour relationships, before the portals know anything exists.
Free, no obligation
Two minutes to write the brief. Four decades of relationships working on it.
Put me on the private listQuestions buyers ask
A listing marketed privately inside the Compass network before, or instead of, going public. Sellers use them to test pricing, protect privacy, or sell quietly. For buyers, they're inventory that never appears on Zillow, Redfin, or the portals. Compass agents can show them; the public can't see them.
Waterfront sellers tend to value privacy, and waterfront buyers tend to be specific: a particular island, a dock that fits a particular boat, a channel orientation. When the fit is that narrow, a quiet match often beats a public launch. That's why the best Harbour inventory frequently changes hands before a sign ever goes up.
You send the brief: islands or streets, dock or slip needs, beds, budget, timing. Justin or Craig reads it personally. When something matching surfaces, a Private Exclusive, a pre-market listing, or an owner from our forty-plus years of Harbour relationships who'd sell for the right buyer, you get a call before the public gets a listing alert.
No. The list is free and there's no obligation. If we find you the home, we'd love to represent you in the purchase; that's the whole business model, and it only works if the matches are genuinely right.
Yes, and say so in the brief. Narrow waterfront matches take time to surface; the buyers who get the rare docks are almost always the ones who were on the list before the home existed as a listing.
