Are Off-Market Deals Really Worth It for Sellers and Buyers?

My dearest homeowners and house hunters! Let's talk about off-market deals –I get so many seller's asking me to sell their home off market, while buyers dying for an off market steal buy- are they really as great as they seem? Maybe they are? or Maybe they aren't? Do realtors really like dealing with off-market opportunities?

So, you're in the market to buy or sell a house, right? And you've heard about these off-market deals where homes are sold without all the public listing drama. Sounds cool, huh? But here's the catch – are they worth it?

Here's the breakdown.

Buyers often think snagging an off-market home means they're getting a steal. But is that true? While it feels exclusive, fewer buyers mean less competition, possibly resulting in a lower selling price for the seller. But wait – buyers might end up paying more in the long run because without the usual market checks, they might miss important details like true value or hidden problems.

Now, let's compare that to homes listed on the MLS – it's like putting your house in the catwalk spotlight for everyone to see. More attention means a better chance of competitive offers, potentially driving up the selling price. Plus, buyers can do their research better to avoid surprises.

So, which deal is really worth it? Listing your home on the MLS often leads to better outcomes for everyone. It really does!

Their attention is often on MLS-listed properties, making it tough to give off-market homes the same level of attention.
