“Compass is not just a real estate brokerage, but a technology company providing the perfect ecosystem of customized best-of-breed software and tools to support its agents,” Horn, who is principal at HHG | Compass, said in a statement. “This is an environment where our team and its agents can thrive and take their business to the next level.”

Over the course of his career, Horn has transacted hundreds of millions in real estate and ancillary business sales, according to a press release from the team. By aligning with Compass, the team plans to take advantage of the brokerage’s technology, proprietary marketing, and CRM to help grow their high-end clientele, particularly in L.A. and Orange County.

“Henry is one of the most dynamic people I have ever met,” said Michael Kanfer, co-principal at HHG | Compass. “His incredibly diverse range of global contacts, unlimited drive, focus and passion for real estate and business in general is very impressive. His relaxed demeanor and selfless mentorship of countless individuals over the years has really solidified Henry’s belief that true success is defined by providing growth opportunities and giving back to others.”

Horn has lived in Orange County, L.A. and San Francisco most of his life. He founded the independent brokerage Horn & Co. in 2005, and specialized in representing international clients relocating to California. He also spearheaded the digital magazine SFHighrise, which served as a lead marketing platform for new condo developments in San Francisco.
