In this episode of Space by Stansons, host Guy Stanley sits down with Shaun Simons, Founder of Compton, a leading commercial real estate agency redefining the industry.

Shaun shares how Compton simplifies complex real estate processes, focuses on consumer needs, and uses bold branding to stand out in a competitive market. From launching his career at 16 to disrupting norms with Compton TV, Shaun’s journey is packed with insights on leadership, culture, and creating meaningful impact.

Shaun Simons began his real estate journey in 2010, founding Hatten Real Estate during the global financial crisis, a bold move that set the tone for his career. He quickly became a pioneer in leveraging social media for commercial property marketing, helping reshape how the industry connected with its audience. After selling Hatten to Colliers and gaining valuable experience, Shaun launched Compton in 2021 amidst the pandemic with a mission to modernise commercial real estate processes and challenge outdated practices.

Don’t just try and fit in with what everyone else is doing… Be bold, be brave, be different. If I were ever to get a tattoo, which I don’t have, I’d have two: ‘Be bold, be brave, be different’ and ‘YOLO – you only live once’’ Those are my core beliefs.
