Mr Blackmon resigned on Friday from Brown Harris Stevens, where he arranged for more than US$1 billion in residential real estate transactions since 2003. He will be head of luxury sales at Urban Compass, founder Ori Allon said.
"He's a perfect fit for us," Mr Allon said. "He's young, he's savvy and he believes in technology."
