Off-Market Access
While most available listings make their way to the public MLS, more and more properties are selling before they actually hit the open market. In recent years, San Francisco MLS rules have changed to level the playing field for off-market sales by requiring that any listing that is actively marketed in any way needs to be added to the MLS as a “Coming Soon” listing. These listings are not visible to the general public, but any agent with MLS membership can access them for you. We check these “Coming Soon” listings daily on behalf of our clients and share anything that is relevant to your search.
In the North Bay, the old rules still apply and agents can market listings without sharing them with the entire real estate community. However, many properties do end up on MLS as a Coming Soon listing because it is simply more efficient than word-of-mouth. In both markets, buyers are really reliant on their agent to attend to this “invisible inventory” on their behalf. Our commitment to our buyer clients is to leverage our relationships with agents in the community and our memberships in both Associations, so that we can present relevant properties that can’t be found on Zillow.
