"We're excited to officially welcome Josh to Compass," said Compass Founder and CEO Robert Reffkin. "With Josh's experience and forward-looking approach to his business, I am excited for what he will achieve at Compass."

Flagg has represented several influential clients across the region, including notable builders, developers, business managers, and attorneys, as well as famous families such as the Gettys, the Bloomingdale's in the sale of the late Betsy Bloomingdale's $40M Holmby Hills estate to fashion designer Tom Ford, and the DeBartolos, former owners of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers.
