ATLAS was founded by ex-Compass marketing and operations leaders. They’ve worked with hundreds of top agents across the US and know what a difference quality support can make to your business.

We saw agents drowning in a sea of administrative and marketing tasks who didn’t have enough time to focus on what they do best.

Our solution? Source and train our own remote teams across the Asia Pacific region to help real estate agents scale their businesses. By managing all the behind-the-scenes work, we’re able to provide a collaborative and stress free experience to give you back valuable time to spend on what drives your business — managing relationships and getting deals done.

We’re a team of real estate marketing and operations specialists, here to help your business grow.

  • Albie Afan

    CO-FOUNDER AND OPERATIONS DIRECTOR

    One of the first hires for Compass San Francisco, Albert onboarded the initial 100 agents to the brokerage. He spent over 6 years developing the playbook for supporting agents across the country and managing the teams responsible for the agent experience in California. He moved to the Philippines to reconnect with his heritage and found an abundance of talent. He understood how valuable this would be to real estate agents and started ATLAS to provide a level of service comparable to what he helped build prior.

    Now, he’s dedicated to leveling up the workforce in the Philippines through education and training. Through ATLAS he plans to expand access for locals to receive consistent remote work that provides growth and benefits.
