Why did Compass agree to acquire Glide?

Compass and Glide have agreed to join forces because we have a shared vision of empowering the agent with seamless technology that simplifies the real estate process. By joining forces, we can bring Glide’s offering to more agents across the country.

Why did Glide choose to become part of Compass?

We founded Glide with a mission to make real estate transactions faster, simpler and safer for every agent and client. With the resources of a much larger company behind us, we can make that vision a reality in a fraction of the time. Looking ahead, we could not be more excited to have the support of Compass as we find new ways to simplify collaboration between agents and enable faster, simpler and safer transactions for the entire ecosystem.

What specific actions is Glide taking to protect the data of non-Compass agents?

Glide user and transaction data from Glide.com and the Glide app will not be accessible by Compass’ brokerage. We have strengthened our privacy policy for current and future clients — and Compass welcomes these new, stricter safeguards to protect the privacy of Glide’s users. Below are the specific steps we’ve taken to ensure that your data will remain private and secure:

Is Glide Compliant with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)?

Yes. Users can file CCPA requests by emailing privacy@glide.com. You can read more about our commitment to the CCPA in Glide’s privacy policy.

How is Glide educating users about this change?

Glide will require all users to accept our updated privacy policy prior to engaging with the platform. We have also engaged our association, MLS and brokerage partners to inform them of the change and provide access to resources they can distribute to their agents and staff. Glide will continue its regular program of training webinars to support the continued use of the platform.

If I’m not a Compass agent, will I still be able to continue to use Glide?

Yes, Glide will continue to operate as an independent platform and serve all agents regardless of brokerage affiliation, through Glide.com and the Glide app.

Can transaction coordinators still use Glide’s Auto-Split and Auto-Tab PDFs features free of charge?

Yes, as a result of the acquisition California transaction coordinators will continue receiving free access to these features.

How can I deactivate my Glide account?

Agents can submit an account deactivation request by emailing support@glide.com or contacting our support team via in-product chat.

Will I be able to continue offering Glide as a member benefit?

Glide will continue to honor its existing contracts and commitments to association and MLS partners and continue to offer its technology to new organizations moving forward. AE’s should reach out to their account manager or to success@glide.com with any questions or concerns regarding existing member benefit relationships.

Where do I direct members with questions about the acquisition?

Glide has sent out a communication to all of our users directly. If your members have additional questions or concerns, please direct them to this help center article.
