See It First™ in Los Angeles with Early Bird Real Estate
Welcome to the largest collection of off-market listings in Los Angeles. See It First™ on Compass. Early access with Early Bird.
What is See It First™?
See It First™ is Compass’s new search experience, launched in September 2026, that shows buyers Coming Soon and Compass Exclusive homes before they appear on other websites. Finn Egan, Founder of Early Bird Real Estate and a Real Estate Broker at Compass in Los Angeles, has built his business on exactly that since 2019: early access, exclusive listings, early bird.
Some homeowners choose to sell privately. Those homes are marketed inside the Compass network and do not appear on public home search sites, but they are available to you when you work with a Compass agent. Finn’s See It First™ page puts his name and photo on that inventory and routes every inquiry directly to him.
“Compass just put a name on what Early Bird has always done. The best homes in Los Angeles are often spoken for before they hit the portals. My job is to make sure my buyers are in the room early.”
Finn Egan, Founder, Early Bird Real Estate

Selling? List as Coming Soon or Private Exclusive with Early Bird
A Compass Coming Soon or Private Exclusive listing gives your home pre-market exposure to Compass buyers and agents before it goes public. Sellers use it to test pricing quietly, skip open houses, protect privacy during a relocation or family change, or build demand before launch. When you are ready, Finn takes the home to the full market with professional video, drone footage and Compass Concierge to front the cost of prep.
