In today’s digital age, most people begin their home search online. It’s fast, convenient, and gives you a glimpse into what’s available. But here’s something many buyers don’t realize: by the time a home hits your favorite real estate website, it may already be spoken for—or at least have a head start with buyers working directly with an agent.
🔍 What You Don’t See Online (Yet)
As a realtor, I often work with sellers long before their homes are publicly listed. Some reach out a week before they’re ready to sell, others a year in advance. During that time, I gather details, prepare marketing strategies, and sometimes even match the home with a buyer before it ever hits the market.
Our local MLS (Multiple Listing Service) includes a “Coming Soon” section—homes that are quietly listed for anywhere from one day to 30 days before the general public can view them online. These are golden opportunities for buyers working with an agent to get in early and beat the competition.
🤫 Off-Market Opportunities
Not every seller wants their home advertised. Privacy, timing, or personal circumstances may lead them to keep their listing off the public radar. As a trusted agent, I often have access to these off-market gems—homes that won’t show up in your online search but could be exactly what you’re looking for.
🏠What’s Coming Soon?
Right now, I have several homes preparing to hit the market. Whether you’re dreaming of a pool, a dedicated office space, a three-car garage, a sprawling lot, or even a wine cellar, I just might have the perfect match waiting in the wings.
đź’ˇ Why Work with an Agent?
- Early access to listings before they go public
- Insider knowledge of upcoming inventory
- Personalized matchmaking based on your wish list
- Strategic advantage in competitive markets
If you’re serious about finding your next home, don’t rely solely on what’s online. Let’s talk about what’s coming soon—and what’s not listed at all. Your dream home might be closer than you think.
