 EXHIBIT 10.15 

EQUITY EXCHANGE RIGHT AGREEMENT 

THIS EQUITY EXCHANGE RIGHT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March __, 2021, by and between
Compass, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Robert Reffkin (the “Founder”). 
 WHEREAS, the
Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to implement a multi class common stock structure in connection with the Company’s initial
public offering of its capital stock (the “IPO”) to, among other things, enable the Company to execute its long-term vision; 

WHEREAS, in connection with the IPO, the Board and the stockholders of the Company have approved and adopted that certain Twelfth Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), which, among other things provides for three classes of common stock of the Company, Class A Common Stock, par
value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), entitling holders to one (1) vote for each share thereof held, Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, entitling holders to zero
(0) votes for each share thereof held unless required by applicable law and a newly-created Class C Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class C Common Stock”), entitling holders to twenty
(20) votes per share thereof held; 
 WHEREAS, Founder holds awards of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock
units covering shares of Class A Common Stock that will be outstanding as of immediately prior to the time the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the IPO is declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective Time”) as set forth in Exhibit A (each, a “Founder Equity Award”), and each Founder Equity Award has been granted under the
Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and the award agreement memorializing each Founder Equity Award (collectively, the “Equity Documents”); and 

WHEREAS, as part of the implementation of the multi class common stock structure, the Board has determined that it is advisable and in the
best interest of the Company and all of its stockholders, including its stockholders other than Founder, to provide Founder with the right to require the Company to exchange shares of Class A Common Stock that Founder acquires upon the
exercise, vesting, and/or settlement of his Founder Equity Awards for a number of shares of Class C Common Stock of equivalent value as determined on the date of the exchange (which is expected to be on a one share-for-one share basis), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and 

WHEREAS, the parties intend that no gain or loss will be recognized in any Exchange (as defined below) pursuant to Sections 368(a)(1)(E)
and/or 1036 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing recitals and the mutual promises, representations and covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereto agree as
follows: 
 ARTICLE I. 

PUT RIGHT AND EXCHANGE AND ISSUANCE OF CLASS C COMMON STOCK 

1.1 Grant of Put Right. Effective immediately following the Effective Time, and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement
(including Section 1.2(a) below), the Company hereby irrevocably grants to Founder the right (the “Put Right”) to require the Company to exchange any shares of Class A Common Stock that Founder acquires following the
Effective Time as a result of the exercise, vesting, and/or settlement of his Founder Equity Awards (each, a “Put Eligible Share”) for a number of shares of Class C Common Stock of equivalent value as determined on the date of
the exchange (which is expected to be on a one share-for-one share basis), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the
“Exchange”). 












 1.2 Exercise of Put Right. 

(a) As a condition precedent to the exercise of the Put Right on any given date, the Company and Founder must mutually agree that no gain or
loss will be required to be recognized for U.S. federal tax purposes on account of such exercise and related Exchange (the “Put Right Condition”). 

(b) If the Put Right Condition is satisfied, the Put Right will be exercisable by Founder by submitting a completed and fully-executed notice
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Put Right Notice”) to the Company on or prior to the Put Right’s Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1.5 below). If the Put Right Condition is
satisfied, the Put Right will be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of timely delivery of a Put Right Notice with respect to the Put Right. 

(c) Failure to satisfy the Put Right Condition or to deliver a Put Right Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Put Right’s
Expiration Date will constitute an irrevocable waiver of the Put Right with respect to the applicable Put Eligible Shares. 
 (d) A Put Right
cannot be exercised by Founder with respect to any Put Eligible Share more than once. Further, Founder will have no Put Right pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any share of Class A Common Stock that is acquired by Founder following the
Effective Time other than as a result of the exercise, vesting, and/or settlement of a Founder Equity Award. 
 1.3 Exchange of
Shares. Within ten (10) calendar days after the Company’s receipt of a properly executed Put Right Notice, and provided the Put Right Condition remains satisfied, the Company will complete the Exchange for the specified number of Put
Eligible Shares indicated in the Put Right Notice (“Exercised Shares”) by issuing, out of funds legally available therefor, a number of shares of Class C Common Stock to Founder of equivalent value determined on the date
of the Exchange (which is expected to be on a one share-for-one share basis). Upon the effectiveness of such Exchange, the Company will deliver to Founder such
documentation as may be reasonably required to evidence that the shares of Class C Common Stock have been duly issued and transferred to the Founder in exchange for the Exercised Shares. 

1.4 Rights to Shares of Class A Common Stock Following Exchange. Upon the Exchange, Founder will no longer have any
rights as a holder of the Exercised Shares that are the subject of the Exchange (other than the right to receive the shares of Class C Common Stock in accordance with this Agreement). Such Exercised Shares will be deemed to have been redeemed
by the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered to the Company. 

1.5 Termination of Put Right. The Put Right will terminate on the following date(s) (the “Expiration Date”):

 (a) With respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock subject to a Founder Equity Award that have not become Put Eligible Shares,
the Expiration Date will be the date such shares are forfeited pursuant to the applicable Equity Documents; and 












 (b) With respect to any Put Eligible Shares, the Expiration Date will be the earliest of the
date: 
 (i) on which Founder sells, transfers, or otherwise disposes of such Put Eligible Shares; and 

(ii) the Class C Automatic Conversion (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation). 

ARTICLE II.

 EXHIBIT B 

Put Right Notice (the “Notice”) 

(To be signed only upon exercise of a Put Right) 
  

	To:	 Compass, Inc. 



Attn: General Counsel 
 The
undersigned (the “Founder”), hereby irrevocably elects to exercise its right under the Put Right pursuant to the Equity Exchange Right Agreement dated as of [_____], 2021 (the “Agreement”), by and between Compass,
Inc. (the “Company”) and Founder, to require the Company to exchange Put Eligible Shares (the “Exercised Shares”) for a number of shares of Class C Common Stock of equivalent value as determined on the date of
the Exchange, subject to the terms of this Notice and the Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the Notice will have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. 

By executing this Notice, Founder hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows: 

1. Acknowledgements. Founder acknowledges and affirms that the representations and warranties set forth in Article II of the Agreement
as of the date of this Notice are true and correct, and agrees to the covenants set forth in Article IV of the Agreement. 
 2.
Legends. It is understood that any certificate or book entry position representing the shares of Class C Common Stock and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor, will bear legends in substantially the following
form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws or agreements to which Founder is a party): 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO
REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.” 
 3. Restricted Securities; Rule 144. Except as otherwise permitted by applicable law, Founder understands
that any shares of Class C Common Stock issued to Founder in an Exchange will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the Act because such shares are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public
offering and in exchange for shares acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder the shares of Class C Common Stock may be
resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances, and subject to the restrictions under the Company’s certificate of incorporation. Founder understands and hereby acknowledges that the shares of Class C
Common Stock must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is otherwise available. Such Founder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, which permit limited
resales of shares purchased in a transaction not involving a public offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. 












 4. Tax Matters. Founder has reviewed with his own tax advisors the federal, state,
local and foreign tax consequences of the Put Right and the Exchange, Founder Equity Awards and the potential acquisition of shares of Class A Common Stock thereunder, the potential exchange of such shares for shares of Class C Common
Stock, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Founder is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except
for the representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in Article III of the Agreement.
