“I am excited to begin this next chapter with Compass,” Flagg said in a statement. “While I am grateful for my journey thus far, especially for my former colleagues who are like family, I am finally ready to embark on my next venture and I look forward to the great things we will accomplish together.”
Flagg has been working in the luxury space in Los Angeles for over a decade, specializing in high-profile residential real estate sales. He has made more than $3 billion in deals over the years, with recent deals including the $10.3 million sale of Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home and the $40 million sale of 1001 North Roxbury Dr. to StubHub founder Eric Baker.
Flagg has broken numerous real estate records for the Flats neighborhood of Beverly Hills: the most expensive home ever sold, the largest piece of land and the highest price ever paid for a piece of land. He is consistently named among the nation’s top agents and is a top agent in the competitive Los Angeles luxury market.
Other high-profile clients of Flagg’s include the Gettys, the Bloomingdales, the late actor Matthew Perry, Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen and former San Francisco 49ers owners, the DeBartolos.
Flagg will bring $400 million of existing listings with him to Compass, including the $28.9 million 9463 Sunset Blvd., $32 million 2 Oak Knoll Terr. — the most expensive home in Pasadena — along with 1231 Stone Canyon Rd., the $11,495,000 former Bel Air home of Judy Garland.
In 2023, Flagg co-founded Estate Media, a real estate media platform that makes personality-driven educational content geared towards agents.
“We’re excited to officially welcome Josh to Compass,” Compass founder and CEO Robert Reffkin said. “With Josh’s experience and forward-looking approach to his business, I am excited for what he will achieve at Compass.”

Compass, headquartered in New York City, boasts more than 1,400 agents in the Los Angeles market. The company’s revenue slipped from $6 billion in 2022 to $4.9 billion in 2023, but it managed to grow its agent count in the fourth quarter by 7.7 percent, despite the number of agents overall shrinking across the industry.
