Beverly Hills, CA, Sept 25, 2025 - Compass, Inc. (NYSE: COMP), the largest residential real estate brokerage in the United States and a leading tech-enabled real estate services company, announces that Barron N.

Recognized as industry tastemakers in the world of luxury real estate, the Hiltons are rebranding their business under the Compass banner in Beverly Hills while building a strategic presence in Palm Beach. With plans to further expand into additional key markets and conversations already underway to bring top talent onto their team, the Hiltons are positioning their brand for true coast-to-coast reach and growth. With a proven track record representing some of the world's most exclusive properties and clientele, they bring a legacy of excellence and market-defining expertise to Compass, where they will leverage the company's vast network, cutting-edge technology, and marketing strength to elevate the client experience.

"We're excited to embark on this next chapter with a renewed focus solely on our clients," said Barron N. Hilton. "Compass enables us to grow and expand our reach while maintaining the personalized service we've meticulously cultivated over the years. With a family legacy rooted in innovation and vision, I've learned that true luxury is defined by uncompromising quality and a commitment to excellence, and Compass reflects that same philosophy."

Renowned for their unique combination of visionary marketing, global perspective, and market-leading expertise, Barron and Tessa have built a reputation for excellence, discretion, and proven success. Their portfolio spans architectural icons, landmark estates, and premier properties across Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Malibu, Palm Beach, and other world-class markets, representing high-net-worth individuals, global tastemakers, and influential leaders across entertainment, technology, fashion, and finance.

Notable sales this year include the $29.5 million purchase of 1680 North Doheny Drive in the Hollywood Hills and representing the buyer of 71 Beverly Park in Beverly Hills for $63.1 million. Past highlights include the sale of the Paul Williams Estate at 1060 Brooklawn in Holmby Hills for $61.5 million, 419 St. Cloud Road in Bel Air for $25 million, and several other significant transactions across Los Angeles' most prestigious neighborhoods.

The Hiltons are renowned for their refined approach to luxury real estate marketing. By leveraging their extensive international network and trusted relationships, they connect listings with a carefully curated audience of influential buyers and tastemakers through bespoke, high-end events that transform each property into a fully realized lifestyle brand. These immersive experiences have featured art installations, couture fashion showcases, gourmet culinary offerings, and live performances, creating a powerful, lasting connection between the home and prospective buyers. With Compass' expansive resources and vast reach, Barron and Tessa are poised to elevate this approach even further, offering clients prime opportunities to market their properties on a global stage.

"By crafting immersive experiences, we bring each home to life in a way that defines a lifestyle and leaves a lasting impression," said Tessa Hilton. "Our clients deeply value this approach, and with Compass' expanded reach and resources, we're excited to take it to an even higher level."

"We're pleased to welcome Barron and Tessa to Compass," said Compass Regional Vice President of Southern California and Hawaii, Parker Beatty. "Their deep commitment to their clients and keen understanding of luxury are a perfect match for our mission to elevate the client experience. We look forward to supporting their continued success under the Compass brand."

To launch their Compass portfolio, Barron and Tessa will debut two exceptional properties: 1305 Collingwood Place, a $28.95 million, six-bedroom, eight-bath architectural compound showcasing Hollywood Hills' most spectacular panoramic views. The residence features a fully equipped spa encased with Himalayan salt walls, an infrared sauna, steam and more.

With deep roots in hospitality and a shared passion for design, Barron and Tessa Hilton bring a unique blend of business savvy and creative vision to luxury real estate. Barron, a member of the renowned Hilton Hotel family, was born and raised in Los Angeles, with a bi-coastal upbringing that gave him a rare, global perspective on luxury living. Before entering real estate, he served as Vice President of Marketing at Bernstein Equity Partners in New York City, where he developed a strong foundation in business strategy and marketing. In 2020, Barron launched his real estate career in Los Angeles under the guidance of his father, industry veteran Rick Hilton, at Hilton & Hyland. Raised across Germany, France, Denmark, and Switzerland, Tessa cultivated a global outlook and a discerning eye for design. Before transitioning to real estate in late 2020, she built a thriving career in the fashion and lifestyle industries, collaborating with world-renowned brands such as Donna Karan, KCD Worldwide, and Laird + Partners. Today, her refined aesthetic and branding expertise are at the heart of the team's signature, experience-driven approach to showcasing exceptional properties. In 2024, Barron and Tessa launched Hilton Hilton, their boutique brokerage created alongside Rick Hilton, blending family heritage with modern innovation in the luxury real estate market. As they transition to Compass, they are excited to build on that foundation, expanding their vision on a national scale.
