$1.2 Billion North Carolina Team Joins Compass

$1.2 Billion North Carolina Team Joins Compass

One of North Carolina’s most productive real estate teams is making a brokerage move. The Gentry Team, a long-established group based in Pinehurst, has joined Compass, bringing more than $1.2 billion in lifetime sales volume to the national brand. The team is led by Mark and Ginger Gentry, who together represent decades of experience in the state’s luxury and second-home markets.

Who the Gentry Team Serves

The Gentry Team has built its business around buyers and sellers in and around Pinehurst, a destination known for golf, upscale second homes, and lifestyle-focused communities. According to company statements, the group has closed hundreds of millions in sales over just the past several years alone and has been a consistent top performer in its region.

Why the Move to Compass Matters

By joining Compass, the team gains access to a nationwide referral network, marketing support, and a suite of technology tools aimed at streamlining the transaction process. For clients, the shift can translate into broader exposure for listings, upgraded digital presentation, and easier connections to out-of-market buyers relocating to North Carolina.

The move also highlights an ongoing trend: high-volume independent or local teams choosing to align with tech-forward brokerages in order to scale their operations and remain competitive in a changing industry.

What This Signals for Agents and Teams

• Established regional teams continue to see value in pairing local expertise with national platforms.
• Technology, data, and marketing support are driving factors in brokerage selection for top producers.
• Clients increasingly expect a seamless experience from search to closing, regardless of where they are moving from.
