Not all homes for sale are easy to find. You might spend hours scrolling through sites like Zillow, REALTOR.com, or other real estate websites, thinking you’ve seen everything available. But here’s the truth: many homes never make it to these public platforms. We have access to hidden properties that the public cannot find. If you rely solely on these sites, you’re missing out on a significant portion of the market.
So, how do you find the homes that aren’t available on these public websites? The answer is simple: work with REALTORS like my team under an exclusive buyer representation agreement.
TL;DR How To Access Hidden Properties
- Many properties are never listed on public websites like Zillow or REALTOR.com.
- Hidden properties include off-market listings, private sales, and homes coming soon.
- The only way to access these properties is through a REALTOR under an exclusive buyer representation agreement.
- Without a REALTOR, you risk missing out on your dream home.
- Robbie English and his team at Uncommon Realty have the expertise and insider access to help you find hidden properties.
Why Some Homes Never Appear on Public Websites
Real estate transactions aren’t always as straightforward as browsing a website and picking a property. Many sellers choose not to list their homes publicly for various reasons:
- Privacy Concerns – Some sellers prefer to keep their sale discreet, avoiding unnecessary foot traffic or public scrutiny.
- Exclusive Agreements – Some properties are shared only within a select network of REALTORS and never syndicated to public portals.
- Pocket Listings – Some brokerages keep properties in-house, meaning only their agents and clients know they are available.
- Coming Soon Listings – Certain homes are known to agents before they hit the market, but they may not be immediately available to the general public.
- Investor-Owned Properties – Some homes are sold through private networks before being listed.
If you think you can find the home of your dreams without using the services of a REALTOR, you may be sadly mistaken and miss key properties that might be perfect for you.
The Only Way to Access These Hidden Properties
Hidden properties are just that—hidden. They don’t show up on third-party MLS-aggregating portals like Zillow or even REALTOR.com. The only way to gain access to these exclusive opportunities is to work with an experienced REALTOR under an exclusive buyer representation agreement. Without this agreement, your agent is not legally able to provide these homes to you, and you will never know they exist.
When you hire an experienced REALTOR, you gain access to a much deeper pool of properties. Agents like myself have insider knowledge about homes that are coming soon, off-market opportunities, and listings not syndicated online. Without a REALTOR working on your behalf, these hidden properties will remain out of reach.
What You’re Missing Without a REALTOR
If you are searching for homes on your own, you are only seeing a fraction of what’s truly available. Here’s what you might be missing:
- Off-Market Listings – These are properties that sellers don’t want advertised publicly.
- Broker-Exclusive Listings – Homes shared only within a specific brokerage.
- New Listings Before They Go Live – Some homes are in pre-listing stages, known only to REALTORS.
- Investor Sales and Private Deals – Transactions that never reach the open market.
