Pocket Listing

Did you know that some properties are never listed publicly?

Known as pocket listings, these properties are sold “off-market.” The broker chooses who to share the listing with—usually an exclusive list of clients and agents.

Typically, pocket listings are used to enhance the seller’s privacy. They are especially popular for ultra-luxury listings or when the seller is a public figure.

However, not everyone supports the practice. In fact, the U.S.-based National Association of Realtors (NAR) requires its members to post listings on the MLS, in most cases—although the legality of NAR’s policy is currently being challenged in the U.S. judicial system.
